Recently, cases of malfunctions of Ryzen 7000X3D processors that overheat and damage motherboards have been known. While writing the portal tomThe abnormal behavior of processors can be caused by power fluctuations.
It is noted that the problem affects Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 7800X3D processors with new 3D V-Cache technology designed for games. In this case, overheating occurs on any motherboard, regardless of the manufacturer. Therefore, excessively high voltage will damage the thermal sensors of the chip, turning off its thermal protection. As a result, when the processor overheats, it burns out before it has time to open the protective mechanism.
According to sources, AMD plans to release a firmware update that will limit or prohibit overvoltage on processors. This should prevent possible damage. At the same time, Asus and MSI independently released BIOS updates that should prevent temperature drops.
AMD has yet to comment on the situation with broken processors.
