32 core Threadripper may have a 250 watt TDP.

That's not surprising, but Jesus Christ...

    If anything that's ridiculously low.  Maybe at stock it'll draw that much but overclock to 4 GHz on all cores and I estimate ~600 W based on tests I worked through with a guy who has a 1950X

    250 isn't really bad for what it's worth.

    To put it into perspective, the R7 1700's TDP is 65 watts. This is approximately 4x the wattage, so really that's pretty predictable.

    Ah, yes.  I was referring to the amount of power that the CPU would probably pull when overclocked.

    I have a 1920x, and once you start adding more juice to them, they start putting out A LOT of heat.

    Yeah, I'm sure overclocked, it's going to scale far less linearly than the 1700 or something OC'd.

    it's important to know what you mean by that.  power should theoretically scale linearly with core count, at the same voltage, but of course it would be steeper with voltage increases

    @Ryan_Vickers From my experience, Threadripper scales rather steep.  I'm not too surprised due to the sheer amount of cores.

    But yeah, a small voltage bump gives higher temp increases than i'm used to.
