Geek managed to run an AMD EPYC 4124P processor on a B650 motherboard and overclock it to 6.7 GHz

AMD EPYC 4004 series processors were released in May this year. They are mainly for dedicated hosting and small businesses that need low-cost server solutions. At the physical level, they are the same as the Ryzen 7000 series Raphael processors.

 

Some overclocking enthusiasts have found a way to run EPYC processors on consumer motherboards (e.g., X670E, B650) (may require a magic BIOS; the exact method has not been announced). For example, Sergmann from Germany has successfully run the EPYC 4124P processor on the Gigabyte B650E Aorus Tachyon motherboard and overclocked it to 6.7 GHz, ofcourse to handle the heat produced by the processor; Sergmann uses a liquid nitrogen cooling system, setting a new 4-core CPU and 4124P world record.

The EPYC 4124 is currently the only quad-core processor in the EPYC lineup and the only one without a direct counterpart in the consumer Ryzen processors.

In terms of parameters, its default frequency is 3.8 GHz, which can be increased up to 5.1 GHz. The TDP is 65W, and the price is only $149. If someone can find a way to run the processor stably on a consumer-grade motherboard, there may be a chance to reproduce the highlight moment of the “Intel E3 Cult” of the year.
