According to a report by HardwareLuxx, AMD's latest AM5 AGESA microcode update 1.0.0.7 — intended to fix Ryzen 7000's burnout issues — is plagued with bugs. Even worse, 1.0.0.7 doesn't appear to have all the latest fixes and only features safer SoC voltage limitations. On the bright side, AMD is reportedly testing a new 1.0.9.0 update internally that is rumored to have all of these fixes intact, but this still means Ryzen 7000 users could be left waiting months for a complete fix.
If you're unfamiliar with the recent Ryzen burnout catastrophe, check out our previous coverage here. In short, user reports have cropped up revealing dead Ryzen 7000 CPUs that melted in their sockets due to SoC voltages operating at unsafe voltages (which is specified as anything over 1.3v right now), and bugs surrounding AMD's CPU temperature control system, which can cause Ryzen 7000 CPUs to go a beyond its safe thermal specifications.
