As there is ongoing drama with Zen 5 and power issues, there are people with the instruments and the motivation to investigate this. You should consider contacting Gamers Nexus, and help them to get your test suite running. They can measure power draw and do a thermal analysis of this CPU, and they'd likely be eager to do it, given the possibility of making a bunch of dramatic YouTube content about design flaws in widely used hardware. That's pretty much their whole schtick in recent years.

Yes. It's rather complex now and it involves the motherboard vendor's firmware. When (not if) they get that wrong CPUs burn up. You're going to need some expertise to analyze this.
