AMD's 3rd Gen Ryzen Threadripper has been delidded by German overclocker, Roman Hartung or more famously known as Der8auer. The Ryzen Threadripper platform is the pinnacle of high-end desktop PCs, offering insane core counts, massive amounts of performance and lots of features to enthusiasts and gamers. It's currently the platform of choice for enthusiasts and the Der8auer has showcased overclockers what to expect from delidding a Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series chip.
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series processors are some of the best processors you can buy right now and you can expect their design to be the best-in-class too. Der8auer tested the delidded chip on a test platform that featured an ASUS ROG STRIX TRX40-E motherboard, a Heatkiller IV PRO water block which was equipped to a 360mm radiator with an EK pump/reservoir combo. First, the platform was tested without delid to get some stock values, temperatures for the 3960X which was overclocked to 4.3 GHz across all cores with a voltage supply of 1.392V. With this configuration, the chip peaked at a max temperature value of 86C in a run of Cinebench R20.
