AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X Reaches 4.1 GHz With Liquid Cooling

And that is on all sixteen cores. As it seems a user on redddit called "callingthewolf" is showing off an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X tweaked towards 4.1 GHz.

The proc normally has a base frequency of 3.4 GHz. He gets his Threadripper towards 4.0 GHz @ 1.25 V core already, yet needs 1.4 V on the core to reach 4.1 GHz. While spotted via wcctech, Callingthewolf used a Thermaltake Water 3.0 liquid cooler and an ASRock motherboard with all DIMM channels in use, that would be 8 x 8 GB running at 3066 MHz DIMMs. The scores then, a 4.0 GHz Threadripper 1950X reaches a nice 3337 points in Cinebench R15. At 4.1GHz 58391 points in Geekbench 3. Not bad for a "glued together" product.

The results are indicative that Threadripper will perform and tweak similar towards Ryzen. Yet now with 12 and 16 cores.

Here's a thought about Crysis that isn't a joke:
I wonder how performance would be running Crysis (low settings, obviously) on a CPU renderer. I doubt Threadripper would be good enough to attempt this, but a dual-socket 32-core Epyc ought to be able to play older games at a low res and low detail with playable framerates, where Crysis could be the ultimate test.

The thing is, I'm not entirely sure if there are comprehensive software renderers for Windows. This could be possible in Linux, if Crysis were run in Wine.
