First, the only "overclocking" happening is the enabling of EXPO, which is similar to an XMP profile from Intel. It's not really overclocking. Also, it is not supposed to modify the voltage values seen. Also, one of the failed systems did not have EXPO on at all.
Second, this is a failure on multiple levels:
* Failure of over-temperature protections
* Failure of over-current protections
* A motherboard shoving current into a CPU which clearly is dead (or at the least not booted) because it has not sent a "power good" signal.
* The motherboard setting voltages for vSOC that are way beyond AMD's recommended specs
* The motherboard setting the voltage for vSOC well beyond what it shows in the BIOS (ie, you think you're getting 1.3V, actually getting 1.4V+)
The video explains that this is a serious failure of several motherboard manufacturers, though primarily ASUS. It's also a failure of AMD to have more stringent requirements on its partners.
