Your cooler should handle the 7600x, as long as it meets your power and cooling needs.
Your cooler should handle the 7600x, as long as it meets your power and cooling needs.
However in the 7000s the chip will consistently reach a stable 95°C regardless of cooling methods, meaning performance remains consistent, though improved cooling leads to higher clock speeds.
Could you achieve 5GHz or higher with all cores active while staying below 95°C? Stability doesn’t guarantee long-term CPU health.
You're asking about running a static all-core OC with 5GHz per core. It should be manageable and could even surpass the rated boost speed. Disabling SMT will help a bit. Your target is around 7600x boost, aiming for or above 5.3GHz.
