For those on AM5, keep an eye out for BIOS updates in the coming days, and do them

[Illusion of Progress]

I don't often do disclaimer type stuff, but I felt this one might be worthwhile if it saves a CPU or spreads awareness. I haven't seen it mentioned by anyone here in the last few days, but I presume a few may be aware of it anyway. Some may not be.

There have been some reports on AM5 CPUs, at least the 7800X3D, developing problems with the bottom of the CPU visibly bulging and the motherboard also having damage (discoloration or burn marks).

While it's thus far been a small number of people, apparently the problem has been considered a risk for all Ryzen 7000 series CPUs, namely when using Expo (in short, memory overclocking, like DOCP/XMP). The SoC voltage is getting high and I guess that's part of what's causing the issues, so the fix is to limit this voltage, which the upcoming BIOS updates will do. So the good news is a fix is coming for a problem that has been identified.

If you're on AM5, I would heavily recommend keeping an eye on your board manufacturer's website for your particular motherboard, and wait for the BIOS update, and then apply it. I would do this whether you've been having issues or not.

And I, personally, would probably remove the CPU from the board and inspect both the CPU and motherboard socket for damage too, especially if you have a 7800X3D, 7900X3D, or 7950X3D, or if you've been using Expo (or otherwise overclocking the memory and thus SoC), or PBO or adjusting voltages from default. I'd probably even check it regardless if I wasn't doing any of those things and just had a regular Ryzen 7000 series CPU just to be sure.

In the meantime, you may also want to keep an eye on your SoC voltages, and if they go above ~1.3V is when problems can supposedly occur. I don't have a Ryzen 7000 series, but this is the voltage to keep an eye on. If you see it at or going above 1.3V commonly (mine mostly stays static but I'm not sure if it moves on Ryzen 7000), then it's probably not good and I'd double recommend physically inspecting for damage.

Use Libre Hardware Monitor, Ryzen Master, HwInfo64, or possibly others if you already have them on hand to check the SoC voltage.

You haven't seen it because enough time has not yet elapsed for it to occur. It does not occur on application startup. I've said this three times now...

I didn't imply I was expecting the cmd window to appear after the Ryzen Master re-launches. I implied that after the Ryzen Master re-launches, the task was not re-created in Task Scheduler.

"Even if you delete the scheduled task, Ryzen Master would just create it again every time it was run."

Forget about it though.

Oh, I read it wrong then. If you would have quoted that part before saying that I might have understood it better.

But yeah, Ryzen Master is fine, but also unnecessary for me, so I just found it easier to get rid of it rather than mess with it.

I would be watching for more than a bios update, actually. I'd be watching for smoke.

Havent seen much more on this subject. After updates and all.

Yeah, a lot of things blow over and are made to be bigger deals than they are in the modern video tech landscape. Not blaming tech video personas or something since it's understandable they want to cover as many subjects as they can, especially ones hot for the moment, but it can give the impression things are bigger than they are. Always slow down and try and understand a situation (which is what this thread tried to help do).

But it's good to know if things are going boringly normal now. I heard the initial fixes were hit or miss and haven't followed it (nor heard much) since then.

noticed aanother bios update through MSI figured id pass on no FIRE yet and great exp far as AM5

It's only really an issue for X3D CPU users

Im waiting i think i will buy the board in August and CPU in July at this rate i got everything else. They still demand top dollar as well for the boards.
