i've been undevolting my ryzen 7 5800x3d recently and it works super. i was wondering iff there is a way to also overclock it at the same time.
 
Short answer, yes, just try changing the settings to increase performance. If the system becomes unstable, you need to back off or add the voltage back.

Pretty much what every long duration overclocker does. Maximize performance while keeping heat/power to a minimum through voltage tweaking.
 
Overclocking by default of the 5800X3D was disabled to avoid damage to the 3D V-cache. However:

All of this is at your own risk.
 
This is what can happen if you apply PBO to an X3D CPU with an old BIOS, before the 1.30V limit was invoked.
