ROG B550i VRM check for OC'd 5900X/5950X

[talos91]

I purchased a ROG B550i and was wondering if anyone has either of these processors in one. My worry is the weak VRM setup on the B550i will prevent me from getting those higher boost clocks or instability when i OC.

 

If anyone can let me know what's the best ITX board to push an OC 5950X / 5900X i'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks.

it will be fine. I wouldn't OC the 5900X/5950X on it but for memory and FCLK OC it will be great

If i get the X-570i, would i be able to overclock ?

Pointless to overclock Zen imo unless you go for per ccx overclock. All core OC generally hurts single core performance unless you go for impractical cooling solutions like LN2.

Zen 3 actually has some of the best scaling out of all iterations of zen when it comes to all core overclocking, of course it depends on what it's being used for, but they have some decent headroom and can consistently hit 4.6-4.8 without too many issues.

You can OC on both, the X570-i is is a lot better for that but I wouldn't bother with OCing Zen anyways. You get more performance from tuning the FCLK and memory anyways.
