AMD confirmed that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D does not support overclocking
AMD officially launched the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Ryzen 7 5700X, Ryzen 5 5600, Ryzen 5 5500, Ryzen 5 4600G, Ryzen 5 4500, and Ryzen 3 4100, a total of seven new AM4 platform products. Among them, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has attracted much attention because it is the first consumer-grade processor to use 3D Vertical Cache technology.
Before AMD’s launch, someone reported on the Internet that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D does not support overclocking. It is said that this is AMD’s request for motherboard manufacturers, and related products will cancel overclocking support for Ryzen 7 5800X3D in UEFI/BIOS. In an interview with HotHardware, AMD technical marketing director Robert Hallock said that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D does not support overclocking in the traditional sense.
Robert Hallock said that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a lock that limits overclocking, and users cannot adjust the clock or voltage but can improve performance by adjusting the Infinity Fabric and memory frequency. To be precise, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D does not support overclocking as defined by the standard. As the first product on the consumer platform to use 3D V-Cache technology, the voltage of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D will not exceed 1.35V, and it is not ready for overclocking.
Although the Ryzen 7 5800X3D currently does not support overclocking, AMD’s statement means that processors with 3D V-Cache technology will not necessarily abandon the overclocking function. Once AMD resolves the related issues, subsequent processors with 3D V-Cache technology will enable overclocking.
