Overclocking

The key revision on the Alpha version of the Zenith Extreme is the greatly improved power section and VRM cooler. This clearly pays dividends as we could push our Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX all the way to 4 GHz across all 32 cores. That’s 64 threads of 4 GHz loveliness for those of you who feel that you haven’t got quite enough CPU horsepower. Best of all the fans on the VRM cooler never spun up at all. A win all round.
