AMD Ryzen 5 5600X vjerojatno je najbolji procesor srednje klase godine. Ima poštenu cijenu i dolazi sa šest jezgri i dvanaest izvršnih niti, radi na osnovnom taktu od 3,7 GHz , dok njegov maksimalni takt pojačanja doseže 4,6 GHz . To je izvrstan CPU za stolna računala koji nudi vrhunske performanse u igrama i aplikacijama za produktivnost. Iako je sam po sebi izvrstan procesor, pitali smo se je li moguće povećati njegovu izvedbu overclockanjem. Koliko možete pogurati njegove satove prije nego što dosegnete njegove granice? Overclockali smo AMD Ryzen 5 5600X koliko smo mogli, a zatim smo usporedili njegove rezultate u benchmarku s njegovom dioničkom verzijom i drugim desktop procesorima. Evo što smo saznali:

Overclocking AMD Ryzen 5 5600X: Kako smo to učinili?

Ryzen 5 5600X^{(Ryzen 5 5600X)} ima šest fizičkih jezgri i 12 niti. Prema zadanim postavkama, rade na osnovnom taktu od 3,7 GHz i dosežu 4,6 GHz u boost modu. Procesor dolazi s 32 MB cache memorije razine 3 i podržava brzi ^{(Level 3)}DDR4-RAM i PCI Express 4.0 . Izgrađen je na najnovijoj AMD Zen 3 arhitekturi^{(Zen 3 architecture)} , koja koristi isti 7 nm proizvodni proces kao i za Zen 2 procesore. Međutim, Zen 3 CPU^(CPUs) -i su redizajnirani i nude znatno više performansi od svojih kolega iz prethodne Zen 2 generacije. AMD Ryzen^{(AMD Ryzen 5)} 55600X je brz i moćan i ima TDP ( Thermal Design Power ) od samo 65 W.^(Watts)

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X procesor za stolno računalo

Overclocking procesora nije siguran zadatak, a rezultati koje dobijete mogu se jako razlikovati ovisno o drugim hardverskim komponentama koje se nalaze na vašem računalu. Najkritičniji su matična ploča i hladnjak. Za overclocking AMD Ryzen 5 5600X koristili smo stolno računalo sa sljedećim hardverom i softverom:

• Matična ploča: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi)
• Hladnjak: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R RGB
• Memorija: HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB memorija^{(HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB Memory)} (2 x 8 GB, 3200 MHz)
• Grafička kartica: AMD Radeon RX 5700
• Pohrana: ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro SSD (PCIe 3)
• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ zakrivljeni gaming monitor^{(ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor)}
• Napajanje: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• Operativni sustav: Windows 10 Pro x64 s ažuriranjem iz listopada 2020^{( October 2020 Update)}

Naša ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero ( Wi-Fi ) matična ploča ima izvrstan UEFI BIOS koji nam omogućuje da ugađamo svaki mali aspekt koji želimo. Iako bismo mi (i vi) mogli koristiti AMD-ov Ryzen Master za Windows 10 za overclockanje procesora, radije to radimo iz BIOS -a .

Nakon malo petljanja, uspjeli smo overclockati AMD Ryzen 5 5600X na svim jezgrama na taktu od 4,80 GHz , na naponu od 1,40. Iako se činilo da se može popeti još više, do 4,90 GHz , njegove su temperature dosegle kritičnu točku nakon nekoliko minuta testiranja na stres, što je dovelo do padova.

Brzina od 4,80 GHz koju smo postigli na AMD Ryzen 5 5600X je 1,1 GHz viša od osnovnog takta od 3,7 GHz . Također je 200 MHz više od svoje standardne frekvencije pojačanja, i to na svim jezgrama, a ne samo na jednoj od njih.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

Kako bismo provjerili isplati li se overclockati AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, prvo smo ga usporedili s tvorničkim zadanim frekvencijama, a zatim i s prilagođenim frekvencijama koje smo postavili. Sva mjerila iz ovog članka izvedena su na Windows 10 Pro , verziji 20H2, build 19042.630 i najnovijim dostupnim upravljačkim programima.

Windows 10 Pro , verzija 20H2^{(Version 20H2)} , verzija OS-a 19042.630

Da bismo dobili sliku o tome koliko Ryzen 5 5600X postaje brži kada se overclocka, usporedili smo njegove rezultate u benchmarkovima s njegovom dioničkom verzijom, kao i s AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (njegov viši brat) i AMD Ryzen 7 3700X ( prethodne generacije, ali s osam jezgri i 16 niti).

Dobivate li povećanje performansi od overclockinga AMD Ryzen 5 5600X?

Počeli smo s pokretanjem CPU-Z-ove Single Thread benchmark. Testira performanse procesora na jednoj niti, što je posebno važno u igrama. Overclockani AMD Ryzen 5 5600X dobio je 662 boda, što predstavlja povećanje od 2,48% u odnosu na njegovu dioničku verziju.

CPU-Z Single-Thread: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

U CPU-Z Multi-Thread , overclockani AMD Ryzen 5 5600X dobio je ocjenu od 5205 bodova. Ovaj test mjeri performanse CPU- a kada se koriste sve njegove jezgre i niti. Kako smo radili overclock svih jezgri na Ryzenu 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 5600X, poboljšanja su ovdje uočljivija nego u Single Thread benchmarku. Overclockani AMD Ryzen 5^{(AMD Ryzen 5)} 5600X isporučio je 2,72% povećanje performansi u odnosu na korištenje na zadanim taktovima. No, nije uspio nadmašiti stariji AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, a zbog znatno manjeg broja jezgri (6 jezgri, 12 niti) još uvijek je daleko iza AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (12 jezgri, 24 niti)

CPU-Z Multi-Thread: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

U Cinebench R23 , overclocking svih jezgri na Ryzen 5 5600X dao je neke impresivne rezultate u smislu povećanja performansi. Overclockani CPU postigao je 12243 boda, što je porast od 5,19% u odnosu na ono što smo dobili kada smo koristili procesor na standardnim taktovima. Overclockani Ryzen 5 5600X čak je brži od Ryzena 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 3700X, iako ima manje jezgri od potonjeg (šest jezgri i 12 niti u odnosu na osam jezgri i 16 niti)!

Cinebench R23 : AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

U Blenderu^(Blender) , još jednom mjerilu osmišljenom za procjenu performansi procesora u poslovima renderiranja, pokrenuli smo učionicu i bmw scene. Overclockanom AMD Ryzen 5 5600X trebalo je manje vremena od njegove standardne verzije da završi zadatak (12,10 minuta u odnosu na 12,97 minuta). To znači povećanje performansi od 6,71%. Ipak, nije uspio biti brz kao stariji Ryzen 7 3700X, vjerojatno zbog manjeg broja jezgri/niti.

Blender: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

PCMark 10 mjerilo je koje testira koliko su računala brza u svakodnevnim aktivnostima kao što su pregledavanje weba, video konferencije, vrijeme pokretanja aplikacija, produktivnost i stvaranje digitalnog sadržaja. S overclockanim AMD Ryzen 5 5600X dobili smo ocjenu od 7529 bodova. To znači povećanje od 2,76% u odnosu na Ryzen 5 5600X koji radi na standardnim frekvencijama. Overclockani procesor sada je skoro jednako brz kao premium AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, koji nudi samo 1% više performansi u redovitim računalnim aktivnostima!

PCMark 10 : AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

Isto tako, pokrenuli smo JetStream 2 benchmark u Google Chromeu^{(Google Chrome)} . Mjeri koliko je procesor brz u renderiranju web stranica kako bi vam rekao koliko je CPU dobar za pregledavanje interneta. S overclockanim AMD Ryzen 5 5600X dobili smo ocjenu od 199 bodova, što je gotovo isto kao kod pokretanja CPU -a na dioničkim taktovima (198 bodova, povećanje od 0,51%) i točno ono što smo dobili s Ryzen 9 5900X .

JetStream 2: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

U 7-Zip mjerilu, koje vam govori koliko je vaš procesor brz u komprimiranju i dekompresiji datoteka, izmjerili smo brzinu kompresije od 57 MB/s kada smo koristili overclockani AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. To je isto kao i tvornička verzija CPU -a .

7-Zip kompresija: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

Brzina dekompresije koju mjeri 7-Zip bila je nešto impresivnija: 1000 MB/s . Overclocking Ryzen 5 5600X dao nam je povećanje performansi od 0,81%. Ipak, ne može nadmašiti Ryzen 7 3700X koji ima više jezgri za rad.

7-Zip dekompresija: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

Jedan od glavnih razloga zašto biste možda htjeli overclockati svoj procesor je dobivanje više okvira u sekundi u igrama. Zbog toga smo pokrenuli i nekoliko igara kako bismo vam pokazali što dobivate od overclockanja svih jezgri na AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. Kako bismo izbjegli uska grla na našoj grafičkoj kartici ( AMD Radeon RX 5700 ), odlučili smo testirati igre u 1080p rezoluciji i koristiti najniže dostupne grafičke detalje za svaku od njih.

U Shadow of the Tomb^{(Tomb Raider)} Raideru , overclocking AMD Ryzen 5 5600X nije utjecao na broj sličica u sekundi koje je prikazala igra. Dobili smo istih 191 fps i s Ryzen 5 5600X overclockanim i s radnim taktom.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider : AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

Nažalost, iako smo koristili najniže moguće vizualne detalje, u Metro Exodusu^{(Metro Exodus)} naša je grafička kartica bila usko grlo AMD Ryzen 5 5600X i svim ostalim CPU-^(CPUs) ima koje smo testirali. Stoga vam ne možemo reći isplati li se overclockati ovaj procesor za ovu specifičnu igru. Čak i ako ga ne overclockate, ako kupite AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, trebali biste razmisliti i o kupnji video kartice više klase kako biste izvukli maksimum iz nje.

Metro Exodus : AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

U svjetskom ratu Z^{(World War Z)} , overclocking AMD Ryzen 5 5600X donio je mali porast performansi. Dobili smo 304 fps, što je povećanje od 4,83% u odnosu na rezultate koje smo dobili kada smo radili procesor na standardnim taktovima. To je također nešto više od onoga što smo dobili s vrhunskim AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (povećanje od 3,05% fps).

World War Z : AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

U Assassin's Creed Valhalla , baš kao i u Metro Exodusu^{(Metro Exodus)} , naša Radeon RX 5700 grafička kartica nije bila dovoljno dobra da odgovara Ryzenu 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 5600X ili bilo kojem od drugih procesora koje smo testirali. Nije bilo važno hoćemo li overclockati CPU ili ne; GPU u prosjeku nije mogao renderirati više od 105 fps. Dalje pokazuje da vam je, još jednom, potrebna vrhunska grafička kartica kako biste imali najviše koristi od onoga što svaki od ovih procesora može učiniti.

Assassin 's Creed Valhalla : AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

Za hlađenje procesora AMD Ryzen 5^{(AMD Ryzen 5)} 5600X koristili smo hladnjak Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R RGB AIO^{(Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R RGB AIO)} ( All In One ). Iako su overclockane frekvencije procesora bile visoke, ovaj hladnjak ga je uspio zadržati ispod kritične točke gdje bi se sustav srušio. Maksimalna temperatura koju smo zabilježili tijekom testiranja stabilnosti sustava^{(System Stability Test)} iz AIDA64 bila je 78 stupnjeva Celzija^(Celsius) . To je relativno niska temperatura, tako da na očekivani životni vijek procesora ne bi trebalo utjecati povećanje takta procesora na vrijednostima koje smo mi učinili.

Temperature: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclockan na 4,8 GHz

Što se tiče potrošnje energije, overclocking Ryzen 5 5600X značio je značajno povećanje. Međutim, maksimum koji smo izmjerili bio je 107 W^(Watts) , što je manje od potrošnje energije vrhunskog AMD Ryzen 9 5900X i još uvijek niže od najnovijih Intelovih 6-jezgrenih procesora ( Intel Core i5-10600K ).

Isplati li se overclockati AMD Ryzen 5 5600X?

Pa, odgovor nije tako jasan koliko biste željeli: ovisi!

Vjerujemo da se isplati overclockati svoj AMD Ryzen 5 5600X^{(it’s worth overclocking your AMD Ryzen 5 5600X )} ako:

• Želite stisnuti svaku uncu izvedbe^{(to squeeze every ounce of performance)} . 🙂 Ovaj procesor ima veći prostor za overclocking od onoga što je nudila prijašnja Zen 2 generacija CPU-^(CPUs) a . Uspjeli smo povećati radni takt procesora na 4,8 GHz , što je više od njegovog zadanog takta za pojačavanje, a možda biste to također htjeli iskoristiti.
• Vi ste videograf ili kreator drugih vrsta digitalnog sadržaja gdje imate koristi od svake dodatne višenitne računalne snage. Prilikom pokretanja softvera koji koristi više procesorskih jezgri i niti, poput aplikacija za renderiranje, overclockani AMD Ryzen 5 5600X radi bolje i brže završava poslove^{(an overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X performs better and finishes the jobs faster)} .

S druge strane, ne vjerujemo da se isplati overclockati AMD Ryzen 5 5600X ako:

• Ono što tražite je više sličica u sekundi u igrama. Overclocking Ryzen 5 5600X dovodi samo do minimalnog povećanja fps-a. ^{(Overclocking the Ryzen 5 5600X only leads to a minimal fps increase.)}Dobit ćete značajnija poboljšanja ako uložite u bolju video karticu ili overclockate video karticu. Nadalje, poboljšanje performansi igranja uvelike ovisi o igrama koje igrate i kvaliteti grafike koju postavite.

Na kraju, na vama je da li želite overclockati svoj AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. Svi procesori su različiti, a neki omogućuju bolji overclocking od drugih.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz: Is it worth it? -

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is probably the best mid-range processor of the year. It has a fair рrice and comes with six cores and twelve execution threads, running at a base clock of 3.7 GHz, while іts maximum boost clock reaches 4.6 GHz. It’s an excellent desktop CPU thаt offers tоp-notch performance both in gaming and productivitу apps. Although it’s a great processor on its own, we were wondering if it’s possible to make it perform even better by оverclocking it. Hоw much can you pυsh іts clocks before you reach its limits? We overclocked the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X аs much as we could, and then we compared its results in benchmarks with itѕ stock version and other dеsktop prоcessors. Here’s what we found out:

Overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X: How did we do it?

The Ryzen 5 5600X has six physical cores and 12 threads. By default, they run at a 3.7 GHz base clock and reach 4.6 GHz in boost mode. The processor comes with 32 MB of Level 3 cache memory and supports fast DDR4-RAM and PCI Express 4.0. It’s built on the latest AMD Zen 3 architecture, which uses the same 7 nm manufacturing process as for Zen 2 processors. However, Zen 3 CPUs have been redesigned and offer significantly more performance than their counterparts from the previous Zen 2 generation. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is fast and powerful and it has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of only 65 Watts.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X desktop processor

Overclocking processors is not a foolproof task, and the results you get can vary wildly depending on the other hardware components found in your computer. The most critical ones are the motherboard and the cooler. To overclock the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, we used a desktop PC with the following hardware and software:

• Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi)
• Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R RGB
• Memory: HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB Memory (2 x 8GB, 3200MHz)
• Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 5700
• Storage: ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro SSD (PCIe 3)
• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor
• Power Supply Unit: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro x64 with October 2020 Update

Our ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) motherboard has an excellent UEFI BIOS that allows us to tweak every little aspect we want. Although we (and you) could use AMD’s Ryzen Master for Windows 10 to overclock the processor, we prefer to do it from the BIOS.

After some tinkering, we managed to overclock the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X on all cores at a clock speed of 4.80 GHz, on a voltage of 1.40. Although it seemed to be able to go up even higher, up to 4.90 GHz, its temperatures reached the critical point after a couple of minutes of stress testing, leading to crashes.

The 4.80 GHz speed that we reached on the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is 1.1 GHz higher than its stock 3.7 GHz base clock. It’s also 200 MHz more than its stock boost frequency, and that’s on all cores, not on just one of them.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

In order to check whether it’s worth overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, we benchmarked it at factory default frequencies first and then also with the custom frequencies we set. All the benchmarks from this article were run on Windows 10 Pro, version 20H2, build 19042.630, and the latest drivers available.

Windows 10 Pro, Version 20H2, OS build 19042.630

To get a picture of how much faster the Ryzen 5 5600X becomes when overclocked, we compared its results in benchmarks with its stock version, as well as with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (its higher-end brother) and the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (previous generation but with eight cores and 16 threads).

Do you get a performance boost from overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X?

We began by running CPU-Z’s Single Thread benchmark. It tests the processor’s performance on a single thread, which is especially important in games. The overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X got 662 points, representing a 2.48% increase compared to its stock version.

CPU-Z Single-Thread: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

In CPU-Z Multi-Thread, the overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X got a score of 5205 points. This test measures CPU performance when using all its cores and threads. As we did an all-cores overclock on the Ryzen 5 5600X, the improvements are more noticeable here than in the Single Thread benchmark. AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked delivered a 2.72% increase in performance than when using it at default clocks. However, it did not manage to surpass the older AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, and because of its much lower core count (6 cores, 12 threads), it is still far behind the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (12 cores, 24 threads)

CPU-Z Multi-Thread: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

In Cinebench R23, overclocking all the cores on the Ryzen 5 5600X delivered some impressive results in terms of performance increase. The overclocked CPU managed 12243 points, which is a rise of 5.19% from what we got when using the processor at stock clocks. The overclocked Ryzen 5 5600X is even faster than the Ryzen 7 3700X, although it has fewer cores than the latter (six cores and 12 threads vs. eight cores and 16 threads)!

Cinebench R23: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

In Blender, another benchmark designed to evaluate the processor performance in rendering jobs, we ran the classroom and bmw scenes. The overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X needed less time than its stock version to finish the task (12.10 minutes vs. 12.97 minutes). That translates into a performance increase of 6.71%. Still, it didn’t manage to be as fast as the older Ryzen 7 3700X, probably because of its lower number of cores/threads.

Blender: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

PCMark 10 is a benchmark that tests how fast computers are in daily activities such as web browsing, video conferencing, apps start-up times, productivity, and digital content creation. With the overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, we got a score of 7529 points. That translates into a 2.76% increase from a Ryzen 5 5600X running at stock frequencies. The overclocked processor is now almost as fast as the premium AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, which offers just 1% more performance in regular computing activities!

PCMark 10: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

On the same note, we ran the JetStream 2 benchmark in Google Chrome. It measures how fast the processor is at rendering web pages to tell you how good a CPU is for browsing the internet. With the overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, we got a score of 199 points, which is almost the same as when running the CPU at stock clocks (198 points, 0.51% increase) and precisely the same as what we got with the Ryzen 9 5900X.

JetStream 2: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

In 7-Zip’s benchmark, which tells you how fast your processor is at compressing and decompressing files, we measured a compression speed of 57 MB/s when using the overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. That’s the same as the factory version of the CPU.

7-Zip Compression: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

The decompression speed measured by 7-Zip was a bit more impressive: 1000 MB/s. Overclocking the Ryzen 5 5600X gave us a performance increase of 0.81%. Still, it can’t surpass the Ryzen 7 3700X, which has more cores to work with.

7-Zip Decompression: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

One of the main reasons why you might want to overclock your processor is to get more frames per second in games. Because of that, we also ran a few games to show you what you gain from doing an all-core overclock on the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. To avoid bottlenecks from our graphics card (AMD Radeon RX 5700), we chose to test the games in 1080p resolution and use the lowest graphic details available for each of them.

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X did not affect the number of frames per second rendered by the game. We got the same 191 fps both with the Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked and running at stock clocks.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

Unfortunately, although we used the lowest visual details possible, in Metro Exodus, our graphics card bottlenecked the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and all the other CPUs we tested. Thus, we can’t tell you whether overclocking this processor is worth your while for this specific game. Even if you don’t overclock it, if you buy an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, you should consider purchasing a higher-end video card also, to get the most out of it.

Metro Exodus: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

In World War Z, overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X brought a small increase in performance. We got 304 fps, which is a 4.83% increase compared to the results we got when running the processor at stock clocks. It’s also slightly more than what we got with the high-end AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (3.05% fps increase).

World War Z: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, just like in Metro Exodus, our Radeon RX 5700 graphics card was not good enough to match the Ryzen 5 5600X or any of the other processors we tested. It didn’t matter whether we overclocked the CPU or not; the GPU couldn’t render more than 105 fps on average. It goes on to show that, once more, you need a high-end graphics card to benefit the most from what each of these processors can do.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

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.

Temperatures: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

On the power consumption side, overclocking the Ryzen 5 5600X meant a significant increase. However, the maximum we measured was 107 Watts, which is less than the power consumption of a high-end AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and still lower than Intel’s latest 6-core processors (Intel Core i5-10600K).

Power consumption: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz

Is it worth overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X?

Well, the answer is not as clear-cut as you might want: It depends!

We believe it’s worth overclocking your AMD Ryzen 5 5600X if:

• You want to squeeze every ounce of performance. 🙂 This processor has a higher overclocking headroom than what previous Zen 2 generation CPUs offered. We managed to increase the processor’s clocks to 4.8 GHz, which is more than its default boost clock, and you may want to take advantage of this too.
• You’re a videographer or a creator of other types of digital content where you benefit from every bit of additional multi-threading computing power. When running software that uses multiple processor cores and threads, like rendering apps, an overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X performs better and finishes the jobs faster.

On the other hand, we don’t believe it’s worth overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X if:

• What you’re after is more frames per second in games. Overclocking the Ryzen 5 5600X only leads to a minimal fps increase. You get more meaningful improvements if you invest in a better video card, or you overclock the video card. Furthermore, the improvement in gaming performance depends a lot on the games you play and the graphics quality you set.

In the end, it’s up to you if you want to overclock your AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. All processors are different, and some allow for better overclocking than others.

Did you overclock your AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor?
