"Overclocking" is in scare quotes because it's only "technically" possible.

Analyzing this AMD Epyc server board (by Gigabyte) gives an interesting perspective on enterprise vs. consumer hardware. First of all, overpowering the VRMs with airflow means heatsinks aren't needed, but it's in exchange for fans that can run up to 16,000 RPM. We cover the Vcore VRM, SOC VRM, minor rails/VPP, and memory power delivery in this motherboard analysis.
