If you want to overclock an Epyc, you just purchase the Threadripper version of the cpu and motherboard.

Incorrect, der8auer used an Elmor EVC device to control the motherboard's IC externally. This should work with any motherboard that provides those IC pins.
exactly what i wrote.
he ran into OCP because of the high wattage (result of OC setting ),
so he disabled OCP of the VRM controller (I2C SMBus/PMBus) with EVC.

Can confirm, with the H11DSI and ES/QS 7742 cpus you MUST have both cpus in to boot. I seem to recall the 05 skus are capable of booting a single cpu, but I havent taken my 05 out of production to test. the 04 sku will not boot in a single config

In software, as far as I know, you can only O/C ES and QS chips (that have part # that ends in -04), and as far as I know it was only done on Naples and Rome (1st and 2nd gen Epyc).
Roman used a retail 7601. OC with BIOS/software was ok up to x38 @1.25V , if higher he triggered the OCProtection of the VRM controller,

after that he used EVC to disable/tweak the OCP temporärily (can not not permanent stored with ECV)
if you run a CBR23 single thread test, the loaded core clocks up to 3,2Ghz not more, even the package power is only 60 watts,
so many headroom. if you where right the single loaded core should clock up until the package power reaches its limit,
means only the sky is the limit !
but it doesn't work.
what i am doing wrong then ???

Hi, im looking for CPU and Mobo for my server, my question is what is better:
Epyc 7763 QS, and overclock it, or Epyc 7B13 - question is can i OC 7B13?
I need a lot of cores and as fast as they can be on multi and also single mode.

And what mobo is simply better for those CPUs:
Gigabyte MZ32-AR0 (rev. 3.x), or ASUS KRPA-U16 B1, and why?
Is it even possible to OC CPU on that Gigabyte mobo?

Is it worth paying attention to Exclusive Performance Boost technology -Core Optimizer, Engine Boost and Workload Presets?

What is known about the "overclocking" of processors on the Milan architecture?
naples 7601 was easy because they are unlocked, you can't do same with Milan,
you can just tweak up to the limits, and for this not all motherboards/BIOS are suitable.

Do you know how to overclock two "amd epyc 7551"? (non-engineering processors), supermicro h11dsi rev 2.0 motherboard.
no, i have not exact insides to overclock EPYC with BIOS or ZenStates4all. and the VRMs of the h11dsi allow not much more power.
if you look der8auer's video EPYC 7601 overclocking you see it is not capable of run OCed 24/7 with the VRMs of h11ssl.

What kind of water cooling does the sp3/tr4 socket have?
Does anyone know that "water cooling" under amd epyc is not bad?
What water cooling options do you know?
Why would it be bad? Or any worse or different than any other watercooling?

there are plenty of sTR4 waterblocks. And they are compatible with SP3 EPYC also.

I have absolutely no knowledge of programming or anything like that :)
if you have the programm already you don't need programming.
Can this program help overclock vendor unlocked ES milan?
yes. and read the OC report again what a motherboard is required
" the specialist had to use a custom motherboard designed for hyperscale datacenters and featuring an enhanced voltage regulation module. With the AMD EPYC Overclocking utility, they increased power limits to 1500W "

vendor unlocked(not vendor locked) <> unlocked (for OC)
you need unlocked CPU.

Nowadays any mb tdp unlock tools or bios here? Especially 7D12 on H11ssl (for over 105W like asus board).

Pair of 100-000000054-04 on H11DSi-NT here. I can run these chips at 3.5 GHz all core, but I needed to mount a fan over the VRMs or these would overheat. The cpus themselves are water cooled with a custom loop.
Can you go higher than 3.5gHZ if not running on all cores?

Which motherboard has the beefiest VRM to support these overclockable ES/QS chips?

Is it possible to disable the core counts so clocks can be pushed higher? Can anyone share their set up and performance they get?

I downloaded the app @ExecutableFix attached. Windows kept on giving trojan error. I was not even able to mark it safe so I disabled all security functionality. Is there a trick to silence the windows defender on the executable?

I was trying to run this tool to overclock a Lenovo p620 machine. It has an overclockable CPU but Ryzen Master is not allowed to run on it and system does not support overclocking. Can we write a similar app like OP did for P620 system to overclock the CPU?

eBay has them.
FYI, I wasn't able to make the software for overclocking to work and it seems like OP is not maintaining it anymore.

CPUID: 00A00F10
Package Type: 4
CPU not supported!
