Question Overclocking Threadripper 2920x

[robos123]

Hello,
I am kinda new to BIOS and all that stuff (former Mac user) and I am looking for an advice. I would like to apply some best settings in Bios for FAN speed vs overclocking my CPU. Currently I am running my CPU at stock settings, default settings in BIOS. My fan speeds are quite volatile, ramping up to 2200 RPM which is quite loud. Usually this happens when CPU is boosting up to 4.2 GHz. I would like to have the fans and CPU performance more constant at 4.01 GHz if that is possible. I have front panel case fans 3x120 mm and radiator fans 3x120 mm on top plus exhaust back fan 150 mm

My computer specs are

• Motherboard Asus ROG Strix X399-E Gaming
• CPU AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X 12-Core Processor 3.50 GHz
• RAM 32Gb - 2x G Skill F4-3000 C16-8 GISB
• GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti - Gigabyte
• GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti - MSI
• NVme Samsung SSD 970 PRO 512 GB
• Liquid AIO with 360 mm radiator for cooling CPU.

If you can give me some kind of help or suggestions how to do it in BIOS I will appreciate it a lot. THX!

BIOS overclocking on Ryzen isn't great, most people recommend installing Ryzen Master and enabling Precision Boost Overdrive instead.

 

If you want your pc to be quieter you can probably set a less aggressive fan curve, chances are your AIO can cool your cpu just fine even at low speeds.

Thank you for advice. I will try that Ryzen Master option. Regarding the fans, yes I will try less aggressive curve maybe it will work. With current settings my CPU temps are usually below 65 ºC at load.
