AMD Threadripper 1950X hits 4.1GHz on liquid cooling
A Reddit user has managed to overclock AMD's 16-core/32-thread Threadripper 1950X to 4.1GHz by just using Thermaltake's Water 3.0 liquid cooler..
..AMD made a good move by using the indium solder with gold plated dies to attach the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader)...
Expected by me -- based on how easy my Ryzen overclocked at stock volts.
Note: AMD designed/built Ryzen and Threadripper for easy/safe overclocking. Some Intel CPUs have been unlocked. But, test reports and customer experiences indicate that "unlocked" is not the same as "designed to overclock".
