AMD Addresses Voltage Issue with Ryzen Update, But Faces Bug Challenges.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Hot Hardware
AMD has released a new AGESA firmware to fix the voltage issue that caused certain AMD motherboards to destroy the Socket AM5 CPU. However, the new firmware limits the maximum SoC voltage value, resulting in worse memory compatibility than the previous version. Users with four memory modules are not likely to be able to overclock them as far, with sources unable to exceed 4400 MT/s with four DIMMs installed on the latest firmware. Nonetheless, the new firmware offers peace of mind to prevent the processor from dying due to overly-aggressive motherboard overclocking profiles.
