Overclocking


Manual overclocking on X399 is a bit hit and miss. I find better results are found using the Precision Boost Overdrive, and Dynamic Local Mode features. The benefit of this is it’s just a few simple tick boxes in the AMD Ryzen software, allowing you to get the most out of the CPU with ease. The only thing you do need is a properly capable CPU cooler. Which is why we’re using a 280mm AIO cooler from DeepCool.

Scores

The difference in performance is immediately noticeable, with the 3DMark score increasing by over 800 points alone. We also reduced the WPrime time by over 4 seconds, which is around 10% faster! As is the Cinebench score, which improved from 4452 to a mighty 4856 points. The motherboard (and the CPU) are thirsty when it comes to power though. Of course, that’s what you expect for such an extreme combination anyway. No one is building this system because of its green credentials (correct me if I’m wrong).

  • 3DMark – 18888
  • WPrime – 4.332/36.87
  • CineBench – 176/4856
  • Power Consumption – 141/366
  • Power Consumption OC – 144/425
