AMD is allegedly working to add official overclocking support to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. The new AMD SKU is an excellent gaming part but is locked despite being an enthusiast-class product.
While AMD’s new Ryzen 7 5800X3D has made an excellent impression in terms of what it can do, barring a few exceptions like UserBenchmark, one major drawback for the new AMD CPU is the fact that it is not an unlocked chip, which means overclocking it is a more difficult task with its locked multiplier. While casual users will probably be satisfied with the out of the box gaming experience the processor offers, enthusiasts who like tinkering around are likely to be disappointed by this.
