    AMD X3D chips failing

    Some may have heard, but there have been some problems with 7000X3D chips basically burning themselves up. GN just posted a video with their findings.



    (tldw: Partly AMD, partly motherboard mfg. Update your bios especially if on an ASUS motherboard)

    External lab results for one of the failed CPUs.



    (tldw - Most likely was, too high of a SOC voltage caused degradation of dielectric layer which eventually became a short circuit)

    Again, update your BIOS to resolve any VSOC issues.
