AMD Ryzen 7000X3D series processors have recently been exposed to the risk of being burned due to voltage problems. Many motherboard manufacturers have launched BIOS updates to solve this problem.
In this regard, AMD officials issued a statement to foreign media Anandtech yesterday. The company is aware of the problem and is investigating. At the same time, AMD is asking motherboard and ODM suppliers to ensure that the device firmware/BIOS is within the correct voltage tolerance range. It runs the Ryzen 7000X3D processor inside. The statement also calls on affected users to contact AMD after-sales support.
We have noticed a few reports online that excessive voltage during overclocking can damage motherboard sockets and pins. We are actively investigating the situation and working with our ODM partners to ensure that voltage applied to the Ryzen 7000X3D CPU via the motherboard BIOS settings are within product specifications. Users of any CPUs that may be affected by this issue should contact AMD Customer Support.Several motherboard partners had rolled out BIOS updates before AMD’s announcement, and some even removed older versions of the BIOS from their websites. The new firmware enforces strict limits on CPU core voltage and prevents voltage-assisted overclocking. Some companies, such as MSI, have even introduced new auto-overclocking modes that enhance PBO-based performance tuning without exceeding the voltage limit set by AMD.
