Question r5 5500 oc

[GoldGlitch]

is it possible r5 5500 oc on 4.7 and more?

Possible...and feasible...and practical. All are somewhat different, I like practical for most peoples purposes who ask for help here.

I know of some who've gotten 4.6Ghz and actually passed a few stress tests so it's probably possible. But even those were considered "golden sample" CPU's, so you'd be looking for "God sample" to get 4.7G and pass a battery of stress tests. And if it requires sub-ambient cooling it definitely fails the practical aspect.

Is this okay?
4,6ghz and 2.0v

I hope you mean 1.2V.

Assuming that's the case, if it's stable through a meaningful stress almost certainly so. If it's at least stable for everything you do it's "ok enough".

yes sry 1.2v but its not stable
on 1.45v its stable 80-85°c 4.6ghz

80-85C doing what? if just idling that's a bit scary don't you think?

But 1.45V is pretty high for 24/7 IMO. In normal use it would only see voltages that high for a tiny fraction of time, only when temps are much cooler and not likely EVER with temps as high as 85C. Keeping it there is probably dooming it to a not-so-slow death.

not idiling. on a heavy load

I managed to lower it to 1.3v

That's much better, so long as temp is also good in a heavy stress test like Cinebench for 20 minutes or so.

cinebench 30minutes max temp 85°c

 

[drea.drechsler]

cinebench 30minutes max temp 85°c

That's still in the safe range but seems a bit hot for a 5500...what cooler are you using?

Normally I'd say a Hyper 212 is a good match for R5 5500 CPU. But if you are planning on running a fixed clock, fixed voltage OC on a 6 core/12 thread, 7nm CPU I'd suggest looking into something a bit more....massive. An AIO even...240mm radiator if possible. Temperature has to be well controlled in all workload scenarios in order to be assured of a long service life. Remember that the processor never has a chance to run with lowered voltage (1.2V or less) and clocks so the silicon is under constant stress now; the only thing that can save it is a low operating temperature.

I strongly suggest you run a suite of benchmarks of your choice in this OC. Pay special attention to game benches if this is a gaming machine. Then run the same benches with a PBO setup while undervolting with curve optimizer. When you have the results ask yourself if burning out the CPU early is worth whatever benefit you're getting from the overclock. In the end, it's your choice.

I have to get some better cooling (maybe water cooling)

btw tnx you for all
