concerns about overclocking cpu.

[Poru]

I recently managed to overclock my CPU (Ryzen 7 5700x) to 4800mhz with voltage of only 1.250v and it's been running temps around 55c up to 67c when gaming. Its surprisingly stable while playing games like valorant, pubg, and etc. (I went to bios and just changed the CPU Ratio and CoreVoltage)
I know that overclocking shortens the life span of the CPU but in my case having an average temps of 60c WILL IT SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTEN THE LIFESPAN OF MY CPU? I'm only using an air cooler GAMMAX400 EX by deepcool and planning to upgrade soon into an AIO also by deepcool which is the LS720S ZERO DARK.

As long as the CPU isn't thermally throttling, you'll be fine. Generally, you should keep the temps under 100 degrees Celsius, preferably 85 under maximum pressure.

You will most likely have changed the CPU / Upgraded before the degradation of your CPU overclock will have any effect at all.

Maybe in 6-7 years you might have to increase the voltage to 1.255-1.260 to keep it stable but thats about it.

CPU degradation / Lifespan is not a concern you need to have unless you plan on keeping the CPU for another 15 years.

 

There is no need to upgrade the cooler if the GAMMAX400 keeps the CPU witihn 55-67c during gaming, these are great temps and you still have easily 15c of headroom so you can overclock a bit further if you want

But if you want to get the AIO then by all means, but I'd spend the money on games instead.

Its not the voltage that hurts the chip, its the current. at 4800MHz I doubt it is all load stable. But if it working well for you now, it will let you know when enough is enough.
