A new AMD microcode update is now out that was expected to fix all the issues surrounding recent Ryzen 7000 CPU deaths. But sadly, the microcode update appears to be riddled with bugs.

AMD's RX 5600 XT was recently modified with 12GB of speedy GDDR6 memory, significantly improving performance in memory-bound benchmarks.

Asus is one of the first motherboard vendors to add a notice stating that memory technologies like XMP / EXPO are considered overclocking, with clear warranty implications/

A GPU modder has modded an RTX 3060 8GB into an RTX 3060 12GB model, by adding two extra memory ICs to the 3060's PCB. Increasing both memory capacity and memory bandwidth.

Patch notes for AMD's new AGESA 1.0.7.0 firmware update, suggest the Ryzen 7000 burnout was not only affected by unsafe SoC voltages but bugs in the chip's temperature control mechanism.

AMD has issued a second statement on the Ryzen 7000 burnout issues, citing that it will cap certain voltages to prevent the issue.

AMD motherboard partners have quickly implemented SoC voltage-limiting updates to keep your processor safe. Most vendors have new BIOS downloads available today.

We reached out to industry contacts to find out why AMD's Ryzen 7000 processors are burning out.
