Overclocking guru Roman "der8auer" Hartung (pronounced "the farmer"), in collaboration with the King Mod team, has pre-buttoned the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X eight-core processors for the AM4 socket and used their free multiplier to create the already regularly very high clock frequency of 3.6 GHz to raise even further. As a hardware enthusiast and professional overclocker, der8auer has been active in the extreme overclocking scene for many years and has already set countless groundbreaking world records during this time.
Always eager to tease out the last drop of performance from any high-end hardware, the OC grandmaster (as of August 2015) is in second place in the professional "elite" rankings of the world's top overclockers (on HWBot. org)! Der8auer's extensive experience now benefits buyers of these handpicked and reliability-proven OC processors!
The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X pretested @ 4.2 GHz at a glance:
- Eight-core processor (16 threads with HT)
- Guaranteed possible OC-clock of 4,200 MHz!
- 24 months King Mod warranty included
- 32 megabytes of L3 cache
- Extremely fast PCI Express 4.0 interface (only with AMD X570)
- Dual-channel interface
- Support for DDR4-3.200
- Gigantic connectivity: 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes
- Includes Wraith stealth coolers from AMD
Overclocking like the pros!
The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (Matisse) pretested @ 4.2 GHz is such a preselected AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU with a factory-standard clock frequency of 3.6 GHz, but its maximum overclocking clock is guaranteed at 4.2 GHz is - and mind you for all cores! The only prerequisite for this is a corresponding high-end platform as a worthy subset based on the AMD X570 chipset with PCIe 4.0 support.
In order to explore the maximum clock values of the binned CPUs and to ensure their stability, der8auer tests each individual copy for at least one hour under Prime95 26.6 with 1344K. Through this massive continuous load each processor is thoroughly pre-tested and the clock stability guaranteed, which is why we compensate for the overclocking associated loss of manufacturer's warranty through its own 24-month King-Mod-Guarantee.
On the packaging of each pre-tested CPU is also specified by us and specified for stable OC operation core voltage specified, there is a tolerance range of about / - 30 mV depending on the power supply of the motherboard used. However, in order to protect the silicon, the maximum core voltage is at most at harmless 1.4 volts. If you have questions about overclocking, the King Mod service is also available for purchase via e-mail.
Note 1: Due to the strong to very strong increase in clock speed of the banked King Mod CPUs is expected to increase heat dissipation compared to the standard TDP, which must therefore be intercepted by an adequate powerful cooling of the system. Although the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X supplied Wraith Stealth CPU fan is included, we strongly recommend that you use at least a 240 AiO water cooling system for cooling, so that the high clock rate can be maintained for a long time.
Note 2: For overclocked processors of the AMD "Matisse" series, for use of (rare) applications with AVX support in the UEFI, an offset value of at least 3 should be set in relation to the OC clock to avoid overheating. In order to explore the maximum clock values of the binned CPUs and to ensure their stability, der8auer tests each individual copy for at least one hour under Prime95 26.6 with 1344K.
