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.

AMD’s latest Ryzen update allegedly delivers even better performance and more options for desktop users.

With the launch of the new X870 motherboards, AMD is also releasing the new AGESA PI 1.2.0.2 BIOS to improve Ryzen 9000 Series performance.
