Question can oc cause permanent cpu damage ?

[M2019]

i was trying to oc my cpu r5 1600AF but appearance I couldn't because I was using the stock cooler so my CPU spikes to 90c once i start testing so i close every thing fast so i dont damage it applied votalge was 1.325 at 4.0 ghz tried multiple settings and the CPU was overheating every time so I just decided I'm gonna go back to the default settings until my new cooler arrives although after I went back to the default settings I found that at idle my CPU temps are fine as they were before but when I'm playing games or go on any stress test my CPU temps are a bit higher like two to three more degrees higher and of course it starts to throttle a bit so I was wondering if there is a chance I damaged my CPU ? in a way that makes it overheat more than it used to be at stock settings ?

Sure a prolonged OC with poor cooling or excessive voltage can damage a CPU.
IMO, 2C is not a significant delta.
Get a good aftermarket cooler and THEN think about an overclock if you have a motherboard that has good voltage regulation.

thx for the replay , I stop the stress test once the CPU hit 90c so it only worked for one or two minutes when the overclock was applied in this long enough for it took to get damaged due to heat or votage knowing that they stock voltage under load is 1.2

The Ryzen 5 1600AF is designed to run at temperatures up to 95C, at which point it will start to throttle. This prevents the CPU temperature from exceeding the manufacturer's design limit.

If you don't manually overclock your CPU, you can run a stress test for as long as you like if you're checking for instability. The CPU can operate at 95C all day long.

I ran my 7950X at 89C for 36 hours continuously whilst rendering a 4K video. A few brief spikes up to 90C on your 1600AF, even with the stock cooler, are perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

As with any overclock, the higher the CPU voltage, the greater the chance of eventual damage due to electro migration. It's a trade off between speed and lifetime.

A slight voltage bump and the CPU will last for years. A stupidly high voltage increase and the CPU could suffer damage much sooner. The choice is yours.
