Raising the TDP by over 60% through a firmware update sounds dangerous, but AMD clarifies that the CPUs have been validated at 105W. What’s more, the 105-watt limit is warrantied — so you can safely unlock it without worrying about voiding the warranty. AMD does note, however, that you’ll need a better CPU cooler to keep all that extra heat at bay.

Though highly anticipated, AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series of desktop processors arrived with a bit of a thud earlier this year. Since then, the company has been in damage control, blaming the initial poor performance delta on some of its own faulty testing methodology while offering a series of fixes.
