in may, amd officially launched the new epyc 4004 series server processors, which are based on the same architecture as the consumer-grade ryzen 7000 series. this is amd's first epyc processor to use a consumer-grade processor interface, but it is usually not suitable for overclocking.

overclocker sergmann used special firmware to enable the b650e aorus tachyon to support and overclock the entry-level epyc 4124p processor.

under liquid nitrogen, he overclocked the xeon 4124p processor to 6.6ghz, far exceeding its maximum acceleration frequency of 5.1ghz, an increase of 30%. unfortunately, no results were released.

in this process, he paired it with ddr5-8000 memory modules. as long as the ryzen chip has a powerful imc (integrated memory controller), the b650e aorus tachyon motherboard can support up to ddr5-8400.

it is worth mentioning that the epyc 4124p processor is the most entry-level model in the epyc 4004 series family. it has 4 cores and 8 threads, 16mb of l3 cache, a default tdp of 65w, supports ecc memory, and is priced at only 149 yuan (approximately 1,057 yuan).
