AMD issues a new statement on Ryzen 7000 burnout issues - "We have the root cause"

Expect UEFI/BIOS updates to arrive from manufacturers soon.

So in other words once again the board manus over juiced it for review day and now they have realised they could have burned someone's CPU out.

Great this isn't it? tossers.

Last Sunday went to update my Gigabyte Bios. Bricked the board after a "update success" message. Wonder if this was the problem.

Could well have been. This shady crap needs to stop tbh.

BTW Mark, could you please do before and after on this one? that would be excellent, especially if it points to any performance loss *COUGH WEEK ONE 30 SERIES COUGH*.

GN found an issue where the Gigabyte will die stone dead just on turning it on.

Thank you. I managed to get lucky it seems, long story short I was able to get it running again. I have always had the PBO set to negative offset, -8, to reduce total voltage and current, mainly to reduce temps and noise since not really seeing the point in an extra 200 mhz. This may have helped me potentially avoid this new 7000 issue. I'll need to look into it more however.

I appreciate the heads up

Oh well that's great.

Man I hate stuff like this. It's bad enough with new tech being buggy, but man it could basically blow up and then the manus could say "Well you were overclocking" and void your warranty. As time passes AMD and pals just manage to keep the shade count up.

After watching the very same GN YouTube vid I've put the brakes on my lust for a 7800X3D build, if/when it's resolved I'll look back into it but GN flagged up multiple issues so it looks like it's going to be a while yet to resolve them irrespective of board manufacturer.

I was put off on day one when I saw the temps. I knew then that the 7000 series were disappointing and were being shoved full of volts. This was compounded when a few channels I watch reduced the voltage and clocks and they were so much better BUT slower. It literally showed me what the 7000 series should have been but AMD were determined to gain back the lead and keep their prices insanely high no matter what the cost.

I’ve always said it and have since day one of joining this forum but no IC should ever run at over 80c long term. I don’t care what the manufacturers say it’s just not good and never was. So a CPU that targets 90c or more and will literally boost itself to death is just a complete hard no to me. I don’t care how fast it is.

It wouldn’t even matter if this stuff wasn’t so amazingly expensive. But when paying £750 for a CPU or £1700 for a GPU you’d expect it to last. Not be literally killing itself every time you turn it on. It’s all just a quest to win benchmarks and charge dumb prices and it needs to stop. Even more so from board makers trying to get an edge in said benchmarks over other board makers so they can charge £800 for a sodding motherboard. Once again? It’s the expensive stuff that is by far the worst.

I’m very glad that the VRAM issue has now become the real issue it is, was, and should have always been. And things like this.
