I don’t o/c my 7700x. I have no need to and I want longevity. I’d have even less of a need to o/c a thread ripper!
They only have that option if you run the cpu outside of design spec. Rambunctious o/c’ers no longer get a free replacement at AMD’s expense, and helps amd figure out if there’s a problem with cpus if they are failing and are not o/c’d.

The design spec if a CPU is the clock speed it runs at coming from the factory, overclocking by definition means going above it.

Yeah, I don’t really see much of an issue here. If you get a defective chip back, it’s probably a good data point to know whether it had been “abused” during normal operation. Even if it’s just so you can ask more questions, or prioritize problems that show up on non-OC’d chips rather than flat rejecting an RMA.
