Threadripper 2 2950X Overclock using Ryzen Master

[Jrasero]

I have a TR2 2950X on a X399M board w/ a NZXT Kraken X52 AIO.  At the moment I have the power at 1.35 and all cores at 3.9ghz 

 

A couple minutes of Prime95 has the chip overheating but for daily tasks and gaming it's fine

 

Should I just dial back the voltage first and then clocks?

Any suggestions would be awesome

That AIO is your main issue. It's not suitable for that chip, so yeah, dial back the OC.

What is your definition of fine though? TR chips should not go over 68C (+27 offset) typically.

Yeah used it in a pinch, but gaming it's in the high 50s

If your mobo has dual bios you could just configure one bios to only use half your cores on a bigger overclock for gaming, i used to do that on my i7 3960x and ran a higher overclock essentially as a 3770k, got that thing up to 4.5ghz at 1.5v, but even on 4 cores and HT disabled i was @90 stable lol, but you can get those proccessors for like $150

yeah the way my case and PSU is setup it can only do AIO and that only leaves really the Enermax TR4 240 which would be fine but it also is notorious for pump failures and even leaking.  There is a Coolmaster version but I can't seem to find it anywhere it is pretty expensive.

 

I think for now I am going to just dial back the overclock until a new TR4 AIO is developed

Yeah instead of manually dialing it back I just changed it to PBO, with PPT 220, TDC 220, EDC 280 and everything is great. Did not fail Prime95 and CPU-Z stress test had it at 70 degrees.

 

Also got my Corsair Vengance LPX C15 3000 to get to 3200MHz, was originally only at like 2100 out of the box
