Overvoltage 3D V-Cache is still a bad idea
Many users reported having a terrible weekend as their new AMD system started failing to boot. Numerous reports on Reddit and YouTube describe his system running his Ryzen 7 7000X3D on X670 suddenly failing to boot. At least he posted a picture of the bottom of his 7000X3D chip where one user had a pretty nasty bulge that both bent the pins in his ZIFF socket and made them both unusable . Sources suggest that we should swallow the whole salareem while looking at the post, but the new his BIOS released by MSI suggests there is some truth to the post.
The new BIOS removes the ability to overvoltage the CPU either by the user or by software. This will prevent the damage people are reporting. Chips with 3D V-Cache run at lower voltages than regular Ryzen processors, so the board itself may provide some deadly extra juice, so it’s possible the board itself has some fault as well. there is.
Very few reports from users of MSI and ASUS boards. We look forward to hearing more as these companies investigate the outbreak. In the meantime, be sure to update to the new MSI BIOS and keep an eye out for releases from ASUS.
