AMD EPYC 4124P CPU overclocked to 6.7GHz on a B650E motherboard

For those who don't know, AMD EPYC 4004 series CPUs are physically identical to the Ryzen 9000/7000 series, using the same AM5 socket as the consumer processors. As such, it was just a matter of time before enthusiasts started using these processors on 600-series motherboards and testing their overclocking capabilities.

The EPYC 4004 processors feature the same configuration as the consumer Raphael series, with up to 16 Zen 4 cores and a TDP of 170W. Although AMD doesn't officially support overclocking on these processors, overclockers have discovered a way to overclock them on consumer motherboards that support overclocking (such as X670E and B650). This gives them access to all overclocking tools and unlocks the full capability of CPUs that were never designed for this purpose.

Overclockers have focused their attention on the EPYC 4124P, in particular. It is the only quad-core processor, and it has no direct equivalent in the consumer Ryzen series. It starts at 3.8 GHz and can go up to 5.1 GHz. It is also a 65W TDP CPU priced at just £150/$150/€150.

Overclockers have submitted several test runs of this CPU on HWBot (via HXL). The fastest EPYC 4124P (achieved by sergmann) was clocked at 6.7 GHz, running on a Gigabyte Aorus B650E Tachyon and DDR5-8000 memory. With this overclock, we saw the EPYC 4124P scoring an impressive 82,943 MIPS, making it the highest 4-core score on this benchmark.

KitGuru says: If the EPYC 4124P is already in the hands of overclockers, it shouldn't take long before other EPYC 4004 processors start showing up on HWBot. Do you think any of these CPUs will break a new record?
