Does Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G's TDP Affect Overclocking?

I'm curious about overclocking the Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G. Does its TDP affect how much I can push it?

The TDP does play a role in overclocking, as it indicates the maximum power consumption at base frequency. When you overclock, the CPU operates hotter and uses more power.

That's an interesting point. I came across this TechReviewer article What Is the TDP of the Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G CPU? that talks about the Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G's TDP and how it relates to its PPT limit. It suggests choosing a proper cooler and power supply for safe overclocking.

Thanks, @EvolvingHippie. That's helpful information. I'll definitely be considering the TDP and PPT when building my system around this CPU.

Yeah, making sure you have a robust cooling solution is key to stable overclocks. Don't forget about airflow in your case too!

I'm not planning on overclocking mine, but I agree that knowing the TDP can be useful for selecting components like coolers and power supplies.

That's true, @LathanumFort. Even if you're not overclocking, it's good to have an idea of what kind of power your CPU will consume under heavy load.
