5.2K boost on cinebench and CPU speeds to 4.7ghz without overheating to under 72°C on GTA5 Online is possible. There seems to be a straightforward method using tools like "UnusualDevices" to upgrade the BIOS.
Playing with BIOS is intimidating and I lack the funds to replace faulty components.
the chances of damaging hardware are minimal because most motherboards operate with voltage levels significantly lower than the thresholds needed for failure. instdeath voltages are around 2.1v or higher, while safe imc voltages typically stay near 1.7v for the cpu. assuming a safe imc voltage, the risk of harm is low. hardware is generally protected by design and won’t last long under such conditions. the only real danger comes from extreme overvoltage, which is rare and usually temporary. overall, sticking to recommended voltage ranges keeps your components safe and functional.
if you mess up a bios flash, which today is nearly impossible, the manufacturer will usually fix it for free. You need to make sure you are using the correct bios. The 5700x is much newer than b550 motherboards, there's a good chance you aren't using a fully supported bios. Yes there is usually an easy tool you can use. edit:
