Parerea mea e ca daca trebuie sa cresti temperatura cu pana la 10 grade, asta inseamna o solutie mai buna de cooling, deci alti bani alta distractie. In plus daca esti la limita cu PWSP-ul posibil sa iti creeze mari probleme de stabilitate. Eu zic ca nu. Chiar mi se pare ca se comporta oricum f bine si neoverclockat. Oricum f buna ideea articolului si modul in care a fost scris. Va saluta bustenarul Razvan. PS: sa stiti ca mai citesc din cand in cand, chiar imi plac articolele de la voi.

Well i got my Ryzen 5 5600x stable on 4,7 ghz with 1,275 volts. But 1,4 is hella lot for 100mhz more.

Nice review. I appreciate it! I was thinking of overclocking my 5600x,but I came to the conclusion that it’s not worth it for games. you have just a little gain or none.

We reached a similar conclusion. 🙂

[quote] To cool the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor, we used a Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R RGB AIO (All In One) cooler. Although the overclocked frequencies of the processor were high, this cooler managed to keep it under the critical point where the system would crash. The maximum temperature we recorded while running the System Stability Test from AIDA64 was 78 degrees Celsius. That’s a relatively low temperature, so the life expectancy of the processor shouldn’t be affected by increasing the processor’s clocks at the values we did.[/quote]

Terrible statement.. it’s not the clocks but the voltage that can kill your CPU, and the AIDA64 test is barely a load. 1,4v is too high and can degrade your CPU in the long run.

Try some small fft AVX1 workloads, keep voltage under 1,3v and retest again. It’s not for nothing the CPU clocks back to ~4ghz and 1,05v when running AVX workloads.

When considering these overclocks, look into what workloads you will be running, it might be very important if you want your CPU stable over years.

Interesting study. The Ryzen has a much lower power consumption compared to the i5 12600k so the big question is whether the performance deficit can be compensated by overclocking.

The bit I don’t understand is how the overclocked Ryzen 5600 ran so much hotter than the 5900 when the overclocked power consumption was 30W lower. If the chips are the same size they have the same heat capacity, and ultimately all of the power going in converts to thermal heat. So if the cooler is exactly the same, I would expect the temperature to be simply a function of the power going in to the processor.

The 5700xt is a shit gpu to test the capabilities of the new gen cpus. In your test theres so many instances on where the 5900x is on par with frames with the 5600x and that’s just not shoild be possible unless you are using a very underpowered gpu. Bare minimum is an RTX 3060 Ti, but best to test is with a 6800xt or a 3080 to ensure that the gpu is not the one causing the frame bottleneck here.
