Anything from Anthony Ill watch.  Cant wait to get home

Electric Design Current: peak current deliverable from VRMs during transient
 
Thermal Design Current: sustained current deliverable from motherboard design
 
 
*For those curious like myself.

i have updated the sheet to the bottom of page 699. dont worry, im only about a year and 3 months behind. 

Slam it with 1.5V and see where it goes.

So, I just got it back up and running yesterday and I actually kept the multiplier at 40X but upped the Bus to 100.0625 and bumped the voltage down to 1.3875V as well, it runs pretty decent. Before the cooling upgrade I ran a Cinebench R20 test and hit 87°C and then ran it again afterwards and only hit 69.9°C (nice), So now I'm ready to hit it with more overclock.

The following list is based on facts, ranked on power delivery and known problems. The list will include boards that support CPU overclocking available at retail from different brands.
 
There are still differences in performance among boards of the same tier. As a result, those that barely made it into that tier will be in orange while those that are better than others in the same tier are in blue. Unless specified, boards sharing the same name and chipset in different form factors are ranked the same.

All current draw figures are based on Prime95 small FFT with AVX unless otherwise specified, in other words the worst case scenario.
 
Only often recommended sku of CPUs in the same generation and core/thread count configuration is named, others share the same rating.
 
Zen scales down frequency and voltage according to EDC (current limit) and TDC (thermal limit) settings of the motherboard so in theory you won’t cook the VRM of any board at stock, you just lose frequency.
 
For tier A and above, due to lack of feasible CPUs that allow testing of the boards at higher current ratings, there are some level on guessing in terms of how much more power the VRM can take.
 
AM4 (Athlon, Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7, Ryzen 9)
 
B550 and X570S Speculation: If you cant find the board above, then it should be here. If it's already up there, then ignore what it's placed here
 
TR4 (Ryzen Threadripper 1xxx and 2xxx) X399
 
sTRX4 (Ryzen Threadripper 3xxx) TRX40 (largely guessing since there's little data)

What MOSFETs & VRM is a board like that running, I mean it doesn't need the full 384W, but can it even handle it? LOL.

I have mine overclocked on an MSI x470 Gaming Pro Carbon board, I had it at 4GHz at 1.4v on the stock cooler, and am swapping it out for a better air cooler (the Wraith Prism), which is still sort of a stock cooler, and I'm going to try going to something like 4.2GHz. Over on HWBOT I saw the records for air cooling were in that range, so we will see what I can manage. I'll post here once i get is setup and stable.
