Yes, AMD will know if you've overclocked your Ryzen Threadripper 7000 CPU.

AMD says overclocking blows a hidden fuse on Ryzen Threadripper 7000 to show if you’ve overclocked the chip, but it doesn’t automatically void your CPU’s warranty::AMD explains the hidden fuses behind Ryzen Threadripper 7000 processors and how it will handle warranty claims.

Well what we’re talking about here is just memory speeds, not core overclocking. If you’re building a computer and you’re paying for RAM that is rated at a certain speed, you need to enable XMP to have it run at that speed. Since the memory controller is now integrated into CPUs, intel considers that overclocking so it voids your warranty. I think most people who are buying CPUs to build their own PCs know this and will not run at base JEDEC speeds.

That’s definitely not common knowledge for people who build their own PC.

Eh, yeah maybe you’re right but it’s such a tremendous amount of performance to lose out on for a couple keystrokes. Any halfway decent guide for beginners should be mentioning it but I don’t know how people outside my circles build computers. Do they read/watch guides? Do they just plug shit together and pray that it works? 🤷‍♀️

It’s very prominent in any build guide, on even casual PC youtuber videos, in motherboard manuals, on ram kits.

It’s absolutely common knowledge to enable XMP, I dunno what that guy is smoking.

It definitely is.

Every single review and YouTube video, even from channels with broad appeal like LTT and the like always talk about the need to enable XMP and talk about it having to be enabled to get the advertised performance.

It gets advertised on memory kits and motherboards and they provide easy instructions on how to do it.

It’s common knowledge to enable it.

There is literally nothing in the article about memory speeds

It’s entirely about overlocking the CPU .

The only thing about memory is your offhand comment about Intel and XMP which is entirely irrelevant to the article.
