AMD announces that all AMD Ryzen processors will have the ability to be overclocked, but the overclocking feature will be limited to three chipsets.

A few days ago we saw a slide series that provided us with new information about AMD Ryzen processors. One of these images specified that the X370, B350, and X300 chipsets would support overclocking, so any motherboard with one of these chipsets could be used to improve processor performance. AMD announced at CES that all AMD Ryzen processors will be unlocked as standard and ready for us to overclock right out of the box and mount them on an OC-compatible AMD AM4 motherboard.

What AMD does with this step is to make it clear that one of its priorities is the overclockers community, among others. The company has specified that all Ryzen will have the overclocking function through a modification of the multiplier, which will be what is unlocked in all. Of course, this function can be used on motherboards that really have chipsets compatible with overclocking.

The X370 chipset will be the one destined for the highest range, so they will possibly be the ones that offer the most facilities for overclocking. Followed closely by the X300, which although being below, theoretically will also offer high performance and allow overclocking very easily. Finally, the B350 chipsets will be for the mid-range and will offer overclocking, logically, although it is possible that in a more limited way.

AMD's strategy of giving data in a dropper is quite curious, as well as the fact of having held an event and announcing another supposed event that remained in four videos on YouTube and a fallen website for an hour, which later served more very little. At first the Ryzen were expected for CES, what's more, we have seen many motherboards for these processors, but no trace of the processors and until February, at least, we will not see them.
