No, underclocking the 5800X reduces its clock speed for improved stability and longevity.

I believe you misinterpreted the situation. Essentially, slightly reducing the voltage on a CPU or GPU helps it operate cooler and consumes less power, which can lead to marginally higher clock speeds. Over-undervolting restricts power enough to slow performance below normal levels. The goal is to achieve the right balance.
He's reducing the voltage provided to the CPU, which decreases power usage and heat, enabling it to operate at faster speeds for extended periods.
