On April 25 I reported that some AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs were suddenly burning out, causing damage to the processors themselves, and in some cases to the connected motherboard.
Thankfully, AMD has quickly gotten to the root of the issue, and issued a timely AGESA firmware update for the 600-series AM5 motherboards that support the next-gen CPUs, which will limit the voltage to the chip to 1.3V. AMD said in a statement that it expects board partners to release BIOS updates containing the new firmware within the next few days.
