The investigation in the video shows that on a number AM5 motherboards many of these protections don't work properly to the point of the motherboard creating a literal puddle of molten silicon inside the CPU. In addition the firmware of many AM5 boards is buggy and sets incorrect voltages for the system, for example certain ASUS boards set the SoC voltage way too high (1.4x V instead of 1.0 V). That seems to cause excessive power dissipation in some cases but can also end up triggering what seems to be a latchup (which would almost assuredly kill the CPU anyway, but is not supposed to start a fire).
