DD5-6400 is starting to look possible without having to do a lot of voltage and settings tweaking. Over the course of the last few weeks from early access, to first retail release and now the newest BIOS, improvements are seen across the all previously tested motherboards. DDR5 support for the AM5 platform is somewhat sporadic. Without going to the extreme measures of sanding down the IHS or delidding a processor for direct die cooling, overclocking potential is going to be similar across the board for Ryzen 7000 CPUs, give or take 100-200 MHz.Īnother echo of previous B560E / X670E reviews here. The clarification comes here as the limitation is generally not the motherboard, instead it is the processor and the internal thermal limitations. If it seems like Déjà vu that all these motherboards have very similar overclocking potential, that's because they do in a way. Not very exciting overclocking using this method, but its possible none the less. A primitive overclocking session ended with a all-core overclock of 5.3 GHz at 1.25 V. The bad news is, as you may have guessed, is that the CPU temperatures can easily reach 95 ☌ with just 1.25 static Vcore, under load. The good news is that more than 1.3 Vcore will never be practical without first delidding the CPU, going with exotic sub-ambient cooling, or a direct-die cooling solution. Doing so will degrade the CPU over a shorter period of time, but 95 ☌ is perfectly acceptable, the CPU being designed to operate at that temperature. This temperature threshold is for the 'lifetime' of the CPU, where you can exceed this up to 115 ☌ (if allowed by BIOS) before the system shuts off. In any case, if you do plan on overclocking, a media-only overclocking guide suggested not to exceed 1.3 Vcore, and AMD says Tj.Max is 95 ☌ for the cores. Lots of warnings in software are given as well. AMD says any, and all overclocking (including memory) will void the warranty. The next step was a brute force overclock, after trying out PBO first.
