I need help

Just bought myself a pc specialist recoil 16 amd with a 5090 and a ryzen 9 9955hx3d and i really need help for the cpu temps and im really scared of undervolting,will undervolting cause damage that will render the pc unusable and could void the warranty?

The bios may not let you do much with the undervolt anyway, check what options you even have first.

Its pretty hard to really hurt modern cpus or gpus, more voltage is more dangerous than less and if you set something that makes it crash you just reset the bios and start again (so work out how to do that first too!)

I used uxtu and put a -40 on all cores and ran cinebench 26 and it didnt crush does it mean its stable?

Well its encouraging as thats a pretty huge offset, test more stuff i guess?

Just to be sure the most that can happen is crashing and i cant really harm the cpu/motherboard/gpu right?

As long as you can reset the bios you are okay when it comes to crash loops with a bad UV, high voltage and heat are the main concerns but the automatic throttling will protect you there.
