Processing temperature is normal, but ensure proper cooling for optimal performance.
Processing temperature is normal, but ensure proper cooling for optimal performance.
I received a 5600X that operates up to 50°C at full capacity with PBO2 and the curve optimizer at -30. It reaches a maximum of 4.6GHz as per the manufacturer's specs. I believe it would perform better even if the CPU hit 65-70°C under heavy load, which could give a slight performance boost. Since I haven't overclocked on AMD, I'm unsure how to raise the boost frequency further.
What software are you employing for temperature readings? Generally, unless it's HWinfo64, obtain it and test again. Also, did you record the temperatures during peak usage, rather than just after completing a full-load test? Lastly, what cooling solution are you utilizing? Stock?
I'm working with HWinfo64 and an NH-D15. I need to boost the clock speed to raise temperatures, but I'm unsure about applying dynamic overclocking on AMD systems since I only want to lift the maximum boost while maintaining the existing PBO2 undervoltage setting. I'm a bit disappointed not having the 5800X for just a few extra euros now, especially after seeing benchmarks suggest temps could hit 80-90°C even with cooling, though it might be manageable around 70°C at full load.
Sure, the D15 is definitely too much for that CPU. I’d just search for an OC guide online and try to boost your processor. The 5800x costs about 60 euros more? Only because of that? Wow, you either got a good deal on the 5800x or a poor deal on the 5600x. The 5800x does run hot enough, but it might not be necessary depending on your tasks.
