AMD’s next-generation Ryzen 7000 and Ryzen 7000X3D processors were undesirably on the agenda. Reports were published that a specific problem in the Ryzen 7000 series made both the processor and the motherboard unusable, and official statements came from the companies. Since the emergence of the problem, AMD and manufacturers have quickly taken a position and reported that they have solved the problem.

Problem solved

AMD has already made a statement on April 26 and stated that they are trying to fix the problem. In a statement, the company confirmed what exactly caused the problem. As we mentioned in our previous news, the problem is caused by voltage values. AMD states that they have completely fixed the problem and limited the SOC voltage to 1.3V at certain points (probably VDDIO/MC) on AM5 motherboards.

AMD emphasizes that none of these changes will affect the ability of the Ryzen 7000 series processors to overclock memory using EXPO or XMP kits or increase performance using PBO technology. AMD says motherboard manufacturers will release the latest BIOS for all AM5 motherboards in a few days. Most companies have already started making these updates.

BIOS update required

The resulting problem affected a very small portion of users. Affected users’ hardware was replaced, although it was essentially out of warranty. Although memory overclocking with EXPO is offered to the user as a “feature”, all modifications and overclocking operations are excluded from the warranty.

If you haven’t overclocked either the CPU or the memory, your Ryzen 7000 processor is safe. However, if you have overclocked, we strongly recommend that you undo this process and then update the BIOS. Of course, all Ryzen 7000 systems with overclocking do not have a burning problem, but high voltage will damage the overall life of the CPU. If you do not know how to update the BIOS, you can use our guide content above.
