Back in September, AMD added support for simple CPU overclocking to its graphics drivers. If you had a Ryzen 5000-series CPU and wanted to benefit from a bit of extra performance, this auto-overclocking function could save you from needing to download the more complex Ryzen Master utility, and the overclock would be conservative enough that it probably wouldn't cause system instability or other issues.

The problem for some users is that this auto-overclocking feature has become too automated—that is, it's changing systems' overclocking settings whether users want it to or not.
