You can overclock your AMD CPU with a stock cooler, but it's not recommended.
Here's why:
- Stock coolers are designed for standard operating temperatures. They might not be able to handle the increased heat generated by overclocking, leading to thermal throttling and instability.
- Overclocking can cause your CPU to reach higher temperatures. This can shorten the lifespan of your CPU and potentially damage other components.
While it's possible to overclock with a stock cooler, it's generally better to use an aftermarket cooler specifically designed for overclocking. This will help ensure your CPU stays cool and stable, and you'll get the most out of your overclocking efforts.
