AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 可能是今年最好的中端处理器。它价格公道，配备 6 个内核和 12 个执行线程，以 3.7 GHz的基本时钟运行，而其最大升压时钟达到 4.6 GHz。它是一款出色的台式机CPU，可在游戏和生产力应用程序中提供一流的性能。尽管它本身就是一款出色的处理器，但我们想知道是否可以通过超频使其性能更好。在达到极限之前，你能把它的时钟推多少？我们尽可能多地超频了AMD Ryzen 5 5600X，然后我们将其在基准测试中的结果与其库存版本和其他桌面处理器进行了比较。(AMD Ryzen 5)这是我们发现的：
超频AMD Ryzen 5 5600X：我们是怎么做到的？
Ryzen 5 5600X拥有六个物理核心和 12 个线程。默认情况下，它们以 3.7 GHz的基本时钟运行，并在升压模式下达到 4.6 GHz 。该处理器配备 32 MB 的3 级(Level 3)高速缓存，支持快速DDR4-RAM和PCI Express 4.0。它基于最新的 AMD Zen 3 架构，使用与(Zen 3 architecture)Zen 2处理器相同的 7 纳米制造工艺。然而，Zen 3 CPU(CPUs)经过重新设计，提供的性能明显优于前一代Zen 2的同类产品。AMD 锐龙(AMD Ryzen 5)55600X 速度快且功能强大，其TDP（热设计功率(Thermal Design Power)）仅为 65瓦(Watts)。
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X台式机处理器
超频处理器并不是一项万无一失的任务，您获得的结果可能会因计算机中的其他硬件组件而异。最关键的是主板和散热器。为了对AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 进行超频，我们使用了具有以下硬件和软件的台式 PC：
我们的ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero ( Wi-Fi ) 主板拥有出色的UEFI BIOS，让我们可以调整我们想要的每一个细节。尽管我们（和您）可以使用 AMD 的Ryzen Master for Windows 10对处理器进行超频，但我们更喜欢从BIOS进行。
经过一番修修补补，我们设法以4.80 GHz的时钟速度和 1.40 的电压在所有内核上超频AMD Ryzen 5 5600X。(AMD Ryzen 5)尽管它似乎能够上升到更高的频率，达到 4.90 GHz，但在经过几分钟的压力测试后，它的温度达到了临界点，导致崩溃。
我们在AMD Ryzen 5(AMD Ryzen 5) 5600X上达到的 4.80 GHz速度比其库存的 3.7 GHz基本时钟高 1.1 GHz 。它也比其库存提升频率高出200 MHz ，这适用于所有内核，而不仅仅是其中一个内核。(MHz)
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
为了检查是否值得对AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 进行超频，我们首先以出厂默认频率对其进行基准测试，然后再使用我们设置的自定义频率对其进行基准测试。本文中的所有基准测试均在Windows 10 Pro版本 20H2、内部版本 19042.630 和可用的最新驱动程序上运行。
Windows 10专业版(Pro)，版本 20H2(Version 20H2)，操作系统版本 19042.630
为了了解Ryzen 5(Ryzen 5) 5600X 在超频时的速度有多快，我们将其基准测试结果与其库存版本以及AMD Ryzen 9 5900X（其高端兄弟）和AMD Ryzen 7 3700X（上一代，但有 8 个内核和 16 个线程）。
您是否通过超频AMD Ryzen 5(AMD Ryzen 5) 5600X获得性能提升？
我们首先运行 CPU-Z 的单线程(Single Thread)基准测试。它在单线程上测试处理器的性能，这在游戏中尤为重要。超频后的AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 获得 662 分，较原版提升 2.48%。
CPU-Z 单线程：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
在 CPU-Z多线程(Multi-Thread)中，超频的AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 获得了 5205 分的成绩。此测试在使用其所有内核和线程时测量CPU性能。(CPU)当我们在Ryzen 5(Ryzen 5) 5600X上进行全核超频时，这里的改进比单线程基准测试更明显(Single Thread)。AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频后的性能比在默认时钟下使用时提高了 2.72%。但是，它并没有超过旧的AMD Ryzen 7 3700X，并且由于其内核数量（6 核，12 线程）要少得多，它仍然远远落后于AMD Ryzen 9 5900X（12 核，24 线程）
CPU-Z 多线程：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
在Cinebench R23中，对锐龙(Cinebench R23)5(Ryzen 5) 5600X上的所有内核进行超频，在性能提升方面取得了一些令人印象深刻的结果。超频后的CPU获得了 12243 点，比我们在库存时钟下使用处理器时获得的提升了 5.19%。超频后的锐龙5(Ryzen 5) 5600X 甚至比锐龙7(Ryzen 7) 3700X 还要快，虽然它的核心比后者少（六核 12 线程 vs. 八核 16 线程）！
Cinebench R23：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
在另一个旨在评估渲染作业中处理器性能的基准Blender中，我们运行了教室和 bmw 场景。(Blender)超频的AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 完成任务所需的时间少于其库存版本（12.10 分钟对 12.97 分钟）。这意味着性能提高了 6.71%。尽管如此，它仍然没有像旧的Ryzen 7 3700X 那样快，可能是因为它的内核/线程数较少。
Blender：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
PCMark 10是一项基准测试，用于测试计算机在日常活动中的运行速度，例如网页浏览、视频会议、应用程序启动时间、生产力和数字内容创建。使用超频的AMD Ryzen 5 5600X，我们得到了 7529 分的成绩。这意味着比以库存频率运行的Ryzen 5(Ryzen 5) 5600X增加了 2.76% 。超频处理器现在几乎与高级AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 一样快，后者在常规计算活动中仅提供 1% 的性能提升！
PCMark 10：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
同样，我们在Google Chrome中运行了(Google Chrome)JetStream 2基准测试。它测量处理器渲染网页的速度，以告诉您CPU浏览互联网的能力。使用超频的AMD Ryzen 5 5600X，我们得到了 199 分，这与以库存时钟运行CPU时几乎相同（198 分，增加了 0.51%），与我们使用Ryzen 9 5900X得到的分数完全相同.
JetStream 2：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
在 7-Zip 的基准测试中，可以告诉您处理器压缩和解压缩文件的速度，我们在使用超频AMD Ryzen 5 5600X时测得的压缩速度为 57 MB/s这与CPU(CPU)的出厂版本相同。
7-Zip 压缩：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
7-Zip测得的解压速度更令人印象深刻：1000 MB/s。超频锐龙5(Ryzen 5) 5600X 让我们的性能提升了 0.81%。尽管如此，它仍然无法超越拥有更多内核的Ryzen 7 3700X。
7-Zip 解压：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
您可能想要超频处理器的主要原因之一是在游戏中获得更多的每秒帧数。因此，我们还运行了一些游戏来向您展示在AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 上进行全核超频所获得的收益。为避免我们的显卡 ( AMD Radeon RX 5700 ) 出现瓶颈，我们选择以 1080p 分辨率测试游戏，并为每个游戏使用可用的最低图形细节。
在《古墓丽影(Tomb Raider)》中，超频AMD Ryzen 5 5600X(Shadow)并没有影响游戏每秒渲染的帧数。Ryzen 5 5600X 超频并以库存时钟运行时，我们获得了相同的 191 fps 。
古墓丽影(Tomb Raider)之影：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
不幸的是，尽管我们使用了尽可能低的视觉细节，但在Metro Exodus中，我们的显卡成为AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 和我们测试的所有其他CPU的瓶颈。(CPUs)因此，我们无法告诉您为这款特定游戏超频该处理器是否值得。即使您不超频，如果您购买AMD Ryzen 5 5600X，您也应该考虑购买更高端的显卡，以充分利用它。
Metro Exodus：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
在World War Z中，超频AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 带来了性能的小幅提升。我们获得了 304 fps，与我们以库存时钟运行处理器时获得的结果相比，增加了 4.83%。它也比我们使用高端AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 得到的略多（3.05% fps 提升）。
第二次世界大战(World War Z)：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
在刺客信条英灵殿中(Creed Valhalla)，就像在Metro Exodus中一样，我们的Radeon RX 5700显卡不足以匹配Ryzen 5 5600X 或我们测试的任何其他处理器。我们是否超频CPU无关紧要。GPU的平均渲染速度不能超过 105 fps。它继续表明，您需要一张高端显卡才能从这些处理器的每一个功能中获得最大收益。
刺客(Assassin)信条英灵(Creed Valhalla)殿：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X超频至 4.8 GHz
为了冷却AMD Ryzen 5 5600X(All)处理器，我们使用了Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R RGB AIO（多合一(One)）冷却器。尽管处理器的超频频率很高，但这款散热器设法将其保持在系统崩溃的临界点之下。我们在AIDA64运行系统稳定性测试(System Stability Test)时记录的最高温度为 78摄氏度(Celsius)。这是一个相对较低的温度，因此处理器的预期寿命不应受到以我们所做的值增加处理器时钟的影响。
温度：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
在功耗方面，对锐龙5(Ryzen 5) 5600X 进行超频意味着大幅提升。但是，我们测得的最大值为 107瓦(Watts)，低于高端AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 的功耗，仍然低于英特尔最新的 6 核处理器（英特尔酷睿 i5-10600K(Intel Core i5-10600K)）。
功耗：AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 超频至 4.8 GHz
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X是否值得超频？
好吧，答案并不像您想要的那样明确：这取决于！
我们认为，如果出现以下情况，超频 AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 是值得的(it’s worth overclocking your AMD Ryzen 5 5600X )：
- 你想榨取每一盎司的性能(to squeeze every ounce of performance)。🙂 该处理器比之前的Zen 2(Zen 2)代CPU(CPUs)具有更高的超频空间。我们设法将处理器的时钟增加到 4.8 GHz，这超过了它的默认升压时钟，您可能也想利用这一点。
- 您是摄像师或其他类型数字内容的创建者，您可以从每一点额外的多线程计算能力中受益。在运行使用多个处理器内核和线程的软件（如渲染应用程序）时，超频的 AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 性能更好，完成工作的速度更快(an overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X performs better and finishes the jobs faster)。
另一方面，如果出现以下情况，我们认为不值得超频AMD Ryzen 5 5600X：
- 你所追求的是游戏中每秒更多的帧数。对 Ryzen 5 5600X 进行超频只会导致最低的 fps 增加。(Overclocking the Ryzen 5 5600X only leads to a minimal fps increase.)如果您购买更好的视频卡，或者您对视频卡进行超频，您将获得更有意义的改进。此外，游戏性能的提升很大程度上取决于您玩的游戏和您设置的图形质量。
最后，是否要超频AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 取决于您。所有处理器都不同，有些处理器比其他处理器允许更好的超频。

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz: Is it worth it? -
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X іs рrоbably the best mid-rаnge proceѕsor of the yеar. It has a fair price and comes with six cores and twelve execution threads, running at a base clock of 3.7 GHz, while its maximum boost cloсk reaches 4.6 GHz. It’s an excellent desktop CPU that offers top-notch performance both in gaming and productivity apps. Although it’s a great processor оn its own, we were wondering if it’s possible to make it perform еven bettеr by overclocking it. How much can you push its clocks before yоu reach itѕ limits? We ovеrclocked the AMD Rуzen 5 5600X as much as we cоuld, and thеn we compared its results in benchmarks with its stock version and other desktоp proсessors. Here’s what we found оut:
Overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X: How did we do it?
The Ryzen 5 5600X has six physical cores and 12 threads. By default, they run at a 3.7 GHz base clock and reach 4.6 GHz in boost mode. The processor comes with 32 MB of Level 3 cache memory and supports fast DDR4-RAM and PCI Express 4.0. It’s built on the latest AMD Zen 3 architecture, which uses the same 7 nm manufacturing process as for Zen 2 processors. However, Zen 3 CPUs have been redesigned and offer significantly more performance than their counterparts from the previous Zen 2 generation. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is fast and powerful and it has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of only 65 Watts.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X desktop processor
Overclocking processors is not a foolproof task, and the results you get can vary wildly depending on the other hardware components found in your computer. The most critical ones are the motherboard and the cooler. To overclock the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, we used a desktop PC with the following hardware and software:
Our ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) motherboard has an excellent UEFI BIOS that allows us to tweak every little aspect we want. Although we (and you) could use AMD’s Ryzen Master for Windows 10 to overclock the processor, we prefer to do it from the BIOS.
After some tinkering, we managed to overclock the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X on all cores at a clock speed of 4.80 GHz, on a voltage of 1.40. Although it seemed to be able to go up even higher, up to 4.90 GHz, its temperatures reached the critical point after a couple of minutes of stress testing, leading to crashes.
The 4.80 GHz speed that we reached on the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is 1.1 GHz higher than its stock 3.7 GHz base clock. It’s also 200 MHz more than its stock boost frequency, and that’s on all cores, not on just one of them.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
In order to check whether it’s worth overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, we benchmarked it at factory default frequencies first and then also with the custom frequencies we set. All the benchmarks from this article were run on Windows 10 Pro, version 20H2, build 19042.630, and the latest drivers available.
Windows 10 Pro, Version 20H2, OS build 19042.630
To get a picture of how much faster the Ryzen 5 5600X becomes when overclocked, we compared its results in benchmarks with its stock version, as well as with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (its higher-end brother) and the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (previous generation but with eight cores and 16 threads).
Do you get a performance boost from overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X?
We began by running CPU-Z’s Single Thread benchmark. It tests the processor’s performance on a single thread, which is especially important in games. The overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X got 662 points, representing a 2.48% increase compared to its stock version.
CPU-Z Single-Thread: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
In CPU-Z Multi-Thread, the overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X got a score of 5205 points. This test measures CPU performance when using all its cores and threads. As we did an all-cores overclock on the Ryzen 5 5600X, the improvements are more noticeable here than in the Single Thread benchmark. AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked delivered a 2.72% increase in performance than when using it at default clocks. However, it did not manage to surpass the older AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, and because of its much lower core count (6 cores, 12 threads), it is still far behind the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (12 cores, 24 threads)
CPU-Z Multi-Thread: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
In Cinebench R23, overclocking all the cores on the Ryzen 5 5600X delivered some impressive results in terms of performance increase. The overclocked CPU managed 12243 points, which is a rise of 5.19% from what we got when using the processor at stock clocks. The overclocked Ryzen 5 5600X is even faster than the Ryzen 7 3700X, although it has fewer cores than the latter (six cores and 12 threads vs. eight cores and 16 threads)!
Cinebench R23: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
In Blender, another benchmark designed to evaluate the processor performance in rendering jobs, we ran the classroom and bmw scenes. The overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X needed less time than its stock version to finish the task (12.10 minutes vs. 12.97 minutes). That translates into a performance increase of 6.71%. Still, it didn’t manage to be as fast as the older Ryzen 7 3700X, probably because of its lower number of cores/threads.

PCMark 10 is a benchmark that tests how fast computers are in daily activities such as web browsing, video conferencing, apps start-up times, productivity, and digital content creation. With the overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, we got a score of 7529 points. That translates into a 2.76% increase from a Ryzen 5 5600X running at stock frequencies. The overclocked processor is now almost as fast as the premium AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, which offers just 1% more performance in regular computing activities!
PCMark 10: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
On the same note, we ran the JetStream 2 benchmark in Google Chrome. It measures how fast the processor is at rendering web pages to tell you how good a CPU is for browsing the internet. With the overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, we got a score of 199 points, which is almost the same as when running the CPU at stock clocks (198 points, 0.51% increase) and precisely the same as what we got with the Ryzen 9 5900X.
JetStream 2: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
In 7-Zip’s benchmark, which tells you how fast your processor is at compressing and decompressing files, we measured a compression speed of 57 MB/s when using the overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. That’s the same as the factory version of the CPU.
7-Zip Compression: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
The decompression speed measured by 7-Zip was a bit more impressive: 1000 MB/s. Overclocking the Ryzen 5 5600X gave us a performance increase of 0.81%. Still, it can’t surpass the Ryzen 7 3700X, which has more cores to work with.
7-Zip Decompression: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
One of the main reasons why you might want to overclock your processor is to get more frames per second in games. Because of that, we also ran a few games to show you what you gain from doing an all-core overclock on the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. To avoid bottlenecks from our graphics card (AMD Radeon RX 5700), we chose to test the games in 1080p resolution and use the lowest graphic details available for each of them.
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X did not affect the number of frames per second rendered by the game. We got the same 191 fps both with the Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked and running at stock clocks.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
Unfortunately, although we used the lowest visual details possible, in Metro Exodus, our graphics card bottlenecked the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and all the other CPUs we tested. Thus, we can’t tell you whether overclocking this processor is worth your while for this specific game. Even if you don’t overclock it, if you buy an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, you should consider purchasing a higher-end video card also, to get the most out of it.
Metro Exodus: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
In World War Z, overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X brought a small increase in performance. We got 304 fps, which is a 4.83% increase compared to the results we got when running the processor at stock clocks. It’s also slightly more than what we got with the high-end AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (3.05% fps increase).
World War Z: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, just like in Metro Exodus, our Radeon RX 5700 graphics card was not good enough to match the Ryzen 5 5600X or any of the other processors we tested. It didn’t matter whether we overclocked the CPU or not; the GPU couldn’t render more than 105 fps on average. It goes on to show that, once more, you need a high-end graphics card to benefit the most from what each of these processors can do.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
To cool the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor, we used a Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R RGB AIO (All In One) cooler. Although the overclocked frequencies of the processor were high, this cooler managed to keep it under the critical point where the system would crash. The maximum temperature we recorded while running the System Stability Test from AIDA64 was 78 degrees Celsius. That’s a relatively low temperature, so the life expectancy of the processor shouldn’t be affected by increasing the processor’s clocks at the values we did.
Temperatures: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
On the power consumption side, overclocking the Ryzen 5 5600X meant a significant increase. However, the maximum we measured was 107 Watts, which is less than the power consumption of a high-end AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and still lower than Intel’s latest 6-core processors (Intel Core i5-10600K).
Power consumption: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X overclocked at 4.8 GHz
Is it worth overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X?
Well, the answer is not as clear-cut as you might want: It depends!
We believe it’s worth overclocking your AMD Ryzen 5 5600X if:
- You want to squeeze every ounce of performance. 🙂 This processor has a higher overclocking headroom than what previous Zen 2 generation CPUs offered. We managed to increase the processor’s clocks to 4.8 GHz, which is more than its default boost clock, and you may want to take advantage of this too.
- You’re a videographer or a creator of other types of digital content where you benefit from every bit of additional multi-threading computing power. When running software that uses multiple processor cores and threads, like rendering apps, an overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 5600X performs better and finishes the jobs faster.
On the other hand, we don’t believe it’s worth overclocking the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X if:
- What you’re after is more frames per second in games. Overclocking the Ryzen 5 5600X only leads to a minimal fps increase. You get more meaningful improvements if you invest in a better video card, or you overclock the video card. Furthermore, the improvement in gaming performance depends a lot on the games you play and the graphics quality you set.
In the end, it’s up to you if you want to overclock your AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. All processors are different, and some allow for better overclocking than others.
Did you overclock your AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor?
We’re curious to hear from you. Did you overclock your AMD Ryzen 5 5600X? If you did, what were your reasons to do it? How much did you manage to push this processor’s clocks, what voltage did you apply, and what cooler did you use? Let us know in the comments section below.
