Voltage Thrill Performance – Wave 2 AMD Edition⚡🔥
continues... this time, with 96 cores of fury.
As some of you guys that watch my posts closely might have seen right after Computex wrapped up in Taipei, I headed straight to ASUS HQ, joining a select group of their top overclockers for a secret XOC event. The goal? Tame AMD’s brand-new Threadripper Pro WX-Series beasts and push them to their absolute limit.
Let me tell you — these chips aren’t just powerful, they’re power-hungry monsters. With up to 96 cores and octa-channel G.SKILL DDR5 RDIMM memory, they demand serious hardware, precision, and patience.
Across just three SKUs, I submitted 42 scores to HWBOT during this second wave of benching. The results?
🚨 6 massive World Records added to Team ASUS's scoreboard in Cinebench and Geekbench — rounding out a launch we won’t soon forget.
These sessions weren’t easy — we’re talking serious power draw, tight memory tuning with 8000+ Mt/s in Octa-Channel configuration and massive thermal loads. But the outcome was worth every second (and restart 😅).
Huge shoutout to my partners who made this wave a success:
🧠 ASUS Republic of Gamers – for their massive Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE, an absolute beast of a board built for this class of hardware
💾 G.SKILL – for supplying 192GB DDR5 RDIMM in full Octa-Channel glory. Stability, bandwidth, and OC headroom – all on point
🔌 Seasonic – the Prime PX-2200 delivered clean, robust power through insane loads like a champ
❄️ Thermal Grizzly – the Kryonaut Extreme may get the spotlight, but the new Duronaut absolutely shined here. These Threadripper IHS monsters are known for the dreaded “silent crack”, but Duronaut held strong longer than any other paste in my session.
This wave was all about scale, raw multi-core power, and teamwork. AMD brought the muscle. We brought the tuning.
More records, more voltage, more madness to come.
Thanks again to ASUS, G.Skill, Seasonic, and Thermal Grizzly for enabling this journey. Let’s keep climbing.
is alive and well. 💪
