A user reports that an ASRock X870 RS Pro WiFi motherboard repeatedly damaged his Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, even with recent BIOS updates, highlighting ongoing issues with ASRock motherboards killing Ryzen 9800X3D processors and questioning the manufacturer's claims of fixes.
MSI has apologized for the poor performance of its RTX 4070 Ti SUPER series due to BIOS issues, acknowledging that the cards showed virtually no performance gains over the 4070 Ti. Reviewers faced a dilemma when testing the cards, as they underperformed and required multiple BIOS updates just before the review embargo. NVIDIA was involved in the sampling process and confirmed the performance issues, with MSI distributing new BIOS updates for the affected models. Gamers who purchased these cards will need to perform a BIOS update to experience the intended performance upgrade, while other brands remain unaffected by these issues.
