Once again pressed + and took over – PC off and on the debug LED of the motherboard appeared the evil double zero with the license to kill. Once clicked on Plus and taken over… Still went. Here there is neither a warning, nor a lock. The part that definitely shouldn’t be done (unless you want to bury the CPU as much as we do) is raising the core voltage.

Up to this point, everything was still quite nice and manageable… That the changes also had an effect could even be proven with benchmarks. Interestingly, the multiplier is not locked and the base clock can also be increased. We did not manage more than crashing or freezing the system here. The clock increase is still harmless for the time being. I ask that you do not then practice the next steps yourself on the living object when it comes to tension. Simply click on “Customize” under Setting and User Scenario to access these features.Īnd now one more click to “User” and Pandora’s box is already slightly open. In fact, the same features are readily available, as if it were a standard Ryzen 5xxx without the V-cache. However, the included MSI software with the board ignores the grayed-out areas of the UEFI GUI entirely.

This fact, on its own, is rather unremarkable. The BIOS of the MSI B550 Unify has blocked or not made available all voltage processes. The double zero does not stand for WC (Water Cooling) Rest in peace, and let this be a reminder that there is now one more keychain in this world. The evidence of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D’s short lifespan, even with a moderate voltage increase, is clear. Unfortunately, for those who are fully committed to experimenting here, we have sacrificed a CPU for the sake of science. The current version of the MSI Center allows for voltage and clock increases for the X3D CPU. You will inevitably cause irreparable damage to your valuable CPU. First and foremost, a warning to everyone not to replicate this.
