Reddit user callingthewolf had the opportunity to play with the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X processor and decided to check how high the chip would clock with watercooling. He used an unspecified ASRock motherboard with all memory slots occupied (8x 8GB DDR4-3066) and the ThermalTake Water 3.0 liquid processor cooler.

The result: He managed to overclock the base clock from 3.4GHz to 4.0GHz with a 1.25V Vcore. By upping the Vcore to 1.4V, he managed to hit 4.1GHz.

At 4.0 GHz, the Threadripper 1950X achieves a 3337 points score on Cinebench R15. And at 4.1GHz, the big chip that can (we can't really call it small now can we?) manages to score 58391 points in Geekbench 3.

Based on this overclocking report, it seems Threadripper offers similar overclocking performance as AMD's eight-core Ryzen 7 CPUs.
