Overclocking

As always with our overclocking we have two types. At the top is the overclock which we’ll be using for our tests. Given the robust nature of our benchmark suite it is always more demanding than the kind of overclock you might be able to obtain if simply glory hunting. However, if you are in the mood to just look for impressive screenshots then the Strix ITX is more than capable as you can see from the bottom CPUz. If you ever doubt how much ITX motherboards have improved in recent years, and how great this 2nd Generation Zen architecture is, hopefully this dispels those qualms.
