Utilities, even when well written, are not 100% perfect.
No, it's probably more of a case of:
Overclocking isn't for everyone.
What is more concerning however is that someone registers on a forum and
first thing they post is throw blame of something or someone else,
without providing any kind of evidence of their claim, or explaining anything about what they tried to do.

Adoredtv pointed out some interesting thoughts on why AMD consumer CPUs are so "bad":
---video-was-removed---
To make it short, AMD saves the best chiplets for the Epic server cpus. So we just get the chiplets with the poorer quality. With the 4000 series we might get the higher quality chiplets which have higher clocks.
Oh wow, wth happened to that video ?
It was named "
AMDone", and he ended by "
I'll stop believing anything that AMD marketing says, they lie through their teeth"
He was quite harsh on the launch of this generation, on how AMD "adjusted" their slides and presentations to mean something else than initially...
My understanding is that he tried to explain why his previous "predictions" fell short by A LOT, and the fact that it's very difficult to explain why 3000 series aren't clocking as high as they -should- on 7nm, and the conclusion is:
The entire Ryzen 3000 series is "garbage chips" with high leakage that are rejected for EPYC use, which they sell to consumers because even as bad as they are, they are still better than what Intel offers in most metrics.
Such claim might also explain why these "garbage chips" run so hot out of the box, and why they need massive voltage spikes in PB ( up to 1.5 ) to clock to their specs, 4400-4600 mhz, which not only is not much higher than previous gen, but also much lower than what should be possible on 7nm.
Selling "trash" as the latest and greatest....
Hmm... I wonder why the video was removed?
(Well I bought one of these trash chips, because it's less trash than the Intel trash I had before)
