Is overclocking safe?
Great video provided. It assisted in raising my 7700x to 5.5 across all cores. Achieved better performance with reduced temperatures and lower power consumption. Overclocking isn't necessary since the chips naturally increase output within limits of heat and power.
These x CPUs seem poorly optimized right out of the box. I still recall videos showing Ryzen 7000X getting extremely hot and consuming a lot of power before people started applying undervolting or power limiting, which reduced power usage almost without affecting performance. Undervolting really seems to be the better approach. On non-X chips, you might notice some advantages since they’re designed for efficiency from the start with the stock 88W TDP.
