Can the 7800x or 7820x run at 5 GHz?

[Deleted member 72990]

How common is it to get them up to 5 GHz? Also, are people delidding them?

You would have better luck with an 8700k and wouldn't need exotic cooling.

My 7820x is at 4.7ghz and I could likely get 4.8ghz however I'm happy with what I have. I'll take 8 cores at 4.7ghz vs 6 cores at 5.0ghz any day. Cores will be and are becoming the future.

5.0GHz 24/7 stable?...maybe with some luck. Mine is 24/7 stable at 4.8Ghz and 5.0GHz benchmark stable...
