AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs at Risk: EXPO and SoC Voltages Identified as Root Cause
ASUS has released a statement regarding the damaged Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs, which mentions AMD EXPO and SoC voltages. The root of the issue is believed to be the implementation of EXPO parameters without paying attention to the new X3D CCD. Motherboard makers have released new firmware that restricts voltage manipulation for Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs. Users are advised to use the latest available BIOSes and observe their CPU voltages closely or manually force the SoC voltage to a lower level or stop using EXPO at this time. AMD is yet to release a statement.
