Overclocking

[JoeAceJR]

Hello, I am planning on buying the Asus ROG Strix b450-i motherboard with the intention to place a  12  or  16 core Ryzen 7 or 9 4th generation CPU and overclocking it to 5 GHz and/or beyond on all 12  or 16 cores and 24 or 32 threads if those rumors are true. What im asking is has anyone with an Asus ROG Strix b450-i or x470-i motherboard acieved 4.3 GHz on the Ryzen 7 2700x on all 8 cores 16 threads or a Ryzen 5 2600x at 4.2 GHz on all 6 cores 12 threads on that motherboard? What were the VRM temps, and how hot can the VRM temps on that b450-i or x470-i ROG Strix motherboard get before it throttles?

Not sure at what temp it throttles but you had better have some decent cooling solutions.

The VRM's are going to be cooled with a 120MM fan blowing on them.
