Are Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 7 5800X3D vulnerable to OC?It seems that it is easy to damage when voltage is applied

CPU

Such as Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 7 5800X3D,Models with 3D V-Cache are vulnerable to overclocking (OC), and the CPU seems to be easily damaged.

Models with 3D V-Cache are basically locked so that overclocking is not possible, but it seems that there are cases where you can use the application provided by the motherboard manufacturer. German media igor’sLAB reports as follows.

It is not possible to overclock the Ryzen 7 5800X3D on the motherboard’s BIOS/UEFI screen, but it is possible to overclock using tuning apps provided by ASUS, ASRock, Gigabyte, MSI, etc.

MSI Center - You can change the clock and voltage of Ryzen 7 5800X3D from the app

However, I do not recommend this.When I used MSI Center to push the voltage above 1.3V, the PC shut down and completely destroyed the CPU.

There was relatively no problem if it was just to raise the clock. At most, the system crashes or freezes. However, I warn you not to raise the voltage.

Above, plus German overclockersder8auerHe also reported that the CPU broke when the liquid nitrogen cooled Ryzen 9 7950X3D was pushed up to 1.55V.

No matter how well it cools down, models with 3D V-Cache tend to break if the voltage is raised too high. This may also be why AMD has made overclocking impossible.
