5600X OC'ing
5600X OC'ing
From what I understand, the 5600X offers slightly more overclocking potential compared to its predecessors, with some users achieving an all-core boost of around 4.8 GHz. I haven’t tested it yet, but it seems to perform well and reaches speeds beyond its advertised limits (up to 4.65 GHz) naturally. Running the Cinebench R20 and gaming keeps temperatures in the low 50s Celsius, using just a quiet dark rock slim cooler. As before, I’m not an overclocker and am holding off until 1usmus releases the new CTR 2.0/1. Anyone have any insights or experiences to share?
I've tried various approaches with my 5600x. The most effective method I've found is tweaking the three voltage settings in the manual PBO limits. Auto settings (AMD) are too low, while the motherboard has high limits, so adjusting between them step by step gives a significant overclock with excellent temperatures. My best Prime95 smallest FFT results match those from Cinebench R23. The single core offset feature in PBO also improves the single core R23 bench scores. For this chip, core multiplier/voltage overclocks aren't the optimal choice.
can't comment on the 5600x but achieved 4.675 on all cores with 5800x, using PBO enhancer boosts reached up to 5ghz so I went for the later option and skipped setting all-core speeds; still think your 5600x could benefit from adjusting all-core clocks. Best advice is to try a tweak session and see what works best if you're unsure about any BIOS settings—read about them first before making changes.
