Failed to reach a steady 4.6GHz for the Ryzen 5 5600X.
Hello, your system runs smoothly at 4.6GHz with 1.3V, but under heavy stress tests it shuts down repeatedly. The temperatures are low, yet VRM heat stays high. This suggests a possible issue with BIOS or power management settings. You might have altered PBO and OC parameters in BIOS, which could affect stability. Check the silicon model by testing with different BIOS versions or consulting the manufacturer’s support. Consider updating BIOS to the latest release and ensuring all components match your motherboard specifications.
My 3100 handles 4.6ghz with a 120mm AIO, but it crashes under AVX-intensive tasks. AVX puts a strain on the CPU. Also, did you see your performance drop to 75c in Prime95's small FFT test? (that’s the most demanding benchmark). If that’s true, it suggests you have a solid chip. You could try PBO (though I’m not sure how) or push your AVX stable overclock and stop there (that’s my approach).
I don't understand the exact temperature reading in P95, since it causes the PC to restart immediately.
The CPU is a genuine 5600X. You can confirm this by checking the motherboard documentation or manufacturer specifications, which list the 5600X as an available processor. It was sourced from a reputable retailer or online marketplace that lists authentic components.
I handle 4600 down easily at 1.225v. 4700 seems tough even with 1.32v, but I manage to get through windows at 4900. All in one voltage setting—no boosters or tricks. It behaves like my 3600XT when it stops trying to AVX and just restarts. I’m not sure if this is my PSU since it’s brand new and uses two EPS cables. I was only using an 8-pin from my previous unit, which cost me the MHz race there. But if the clocks are really fast, it works fine.
