AMD has seemingly solved the problem of burning Ryzen 7000 CPUs. The just-released AGESA (firmware) for AMD 600 series motherboards will limit the SoC Voltage to 1.3V. This means AMD acknowledges that the root issue was the SoC Voltage going higher than AMD intended for their CPUs. Although AMD does not specifically mention the Ryzen 7000X3D CPU series with 3D V-Cache, those CPUs were among the most affected (or reported) cases. This is likely because X3D series are more sensitive to such voltages. AMD confirms that the new AGESA will not impact Ryzen 7000 memory overclocking capability, which in this case means using AMD EXPO or Intel XMP memory profiles. Furthermore, no changes to Precision Boost Technology will be applied.
