Ryzen 5 5900x

Is clock speed of roughly 4600mhz kind of high for this  cpu just out of the box ?

Nope. It'll boost up that high on its own assuming its being cooled sufficiently.

Yes it's being cooled with a custom water cool loop and thank you so much for answering my question I feel alittle better about it. I thought I was going to have to undervolt it

Sure, you can read more about it here.

It really depends on the type of load. Different loads bring different clocks. Usually the heavier the load the lower the clock.

Are you asking about the Ryzen 5 5600X or the Ryzen 9 5900X?

 

Both can reach an all-core boost of 4.6GHz in certain workloads. At stock, my 5900X could do 4.6GHz all-core when I ran a virus scan, for example, but only did 4.3GHz in Cinebench. In games, where only a few cores are loaded, it sat between 4.8-4.95GHz most of the time.
