AMD EPYC CPU hacked onto B650 motherboard, hits 6.6 GHz with liquid nitrogen — $159 EPYC 4124P shows immense overclocking potential

AMD.

AMD's EPYC processors and overclocking typically don't go together in a sentence. However, overclocker Sergmann has demonstrated that you can overclock EPYC chips if you're doing it with the correct SKU. However, even more interesting is that the overclocker got the EPYC 4124P to work on an AM5 motherboard that doesn't officially support it.

The EPYC 4124P is part of AMD's entry-level EPYC 4004 processors for the AM5 platform. However, many consider these chips a rebrand of the mainstream Ryzen 7000 chips with enterprise features, such as support for ECC memory. At its core, the EPYC 4004 series shares the same specifications as the Ryzen 7000, with a core count that tops out at 16 Zen 4 execution cores, boost clock speeds up to 5.7 GHz, and a maximum TDP of 170W.
