Turns out the marketing material and the docs for the AMD Gen 8's were not properly written when they released. The Ram is Samsung DDR5-5600 running at 5200mhz and if they had just allowed manual ram configuration in the BIOS then this would of never been an issue. Also the 4 pipe cooler they use is barely capable of cooling the 7700x, so I'd not expect the 7700 to get too high of a boost clock.
This is important to note for everyone from the comments on Lenovo's website:
"Lenovo has disabled XMP on this machine which means you will NOT be able to add any additional memory and set the speed more than the default 4800MHz."
"Disingenuous about their ram speed and upgradability. Ram doesn't run at full speed. Bios is super limiting. Can't upgrade ram while remaining in warranty. And no ram is available that is within warranty, meaning there is no upgrade path to 32 GB while remaining in warranty. It's deliberate misrepresentation. It's false advertising. The product page even says you can upgrade."

Years ago, SD was a place to find deals posted that you wouldn't see anywhere else, along with tips or tricks to sweeten it. A lot of front page now is like "save $3 when you buy multiple family size package of a thing"...things which are really only great buys if it's something you already want or need.
Likewise, this deal is only good if you were looking for this cpu/gpu combo, don't want to or cant build, or wait for a better deal, and don't care about half the system specs.
You like it, buy it, I'm just saying what it is.

I have a completey different T5, not the same one listed in this Reddit link and mine still did this. Just a warning, be careful guys. I've already sent it to Lenovo twice.
