Why shouldn’t they be over locked? The chip makers have made it easier by the year to the point where AMD releases multiple windows programs to their users that provide newbie friendly overclocking. Adrenalin and Ryzen Master. Not to mention that basically ALL 3rd party GPUs are factory overclocked

Context is 3D cache CPUs and they shouldn't be overlocked. 5800x3d cannot be clocked because options in BIOS/UEFI are disabled. Ought to be the same with AM5 but this guy found a way to do it. As expected, the CPU died which, as luck would have it is exactly what AMD said would happen
In this context the name "Adrenalin" seems to fit.
