不管如何,趕快更新 BIOS 就對了。

對於近期 AMD Ryzen 7000X3D 系列處理器發生燒毀事件,在歐洲 ASUS 的聲明之後,美國 ASUS 與 AMD 都陸續對此事進行公告。

整個事件發生的主因是因為 SoC Voltage 超過 1.5V 所致,目前 AMD 已經通知所有合作夥伴將 SoC Voltage 限制在 1.35V 或以下,至於是否會對部分記憶體造成影響,這可能還要看後續使用者的回報才能知曉。

就目前的討論來看,GIGABYTE 似乎沒有發生任何燒毀案例。(文章曝光後,GIGABYTE B650M AORUS AX 發生一起案例)

AMD 對此的聲明相較於 ASUS 要簡單許多,不過聲明中提到「超頻」這就讓人有點難以接受,畢竟很多時候這不是使用者自己手動去調整所致。

“We are aware of a limited number of reports online claiming that excess voltage while overclocking may have damaged the motherboard socket and pin pads. We are actively investigating the situation and are working with our ODM partners to ensure voltages applied to Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs via motherboard BIOS settings are within product specifications. Anyone whose CPU may have been impacted by this issue should contact AMD customer support.”

ASUS 方面則是美國資深技術行銷經理 Juan Jose Guerrero 在 Twitter 以及美國 ROG Facebook 社團上做出說明。

Several AMD Ryzen 7000X3D owners have reported CPU and motherboard failures. We acknowledge the incidents/issues and have been communicating with AMD to analyze the possible causes. We have also contacted affected users to provide support and collect additional information.

Ryzen 7000X3D processors do not allow for CPU ratio or CPU core voltage tuning (CPU overclocking) but do allow for performance tuning and DRAM overclocking via PBO2 and EXPO memory. To support EXPO and/or memory overclocking at DDR5-6000 and beyond, SoC voltage has to be sufficiently increased to ensure compatibility and stability. The amount of voltage required varies between CPU samples. Some processors are more sensitive to overvoltage than others, and some are capable at running higher memory frequencies without needing as much voltage.

As confirmed with AMD, any intentional manipulation of these settings can damage the processor, socket, and motherboard. To mitigate this, we have been working with AMD to define new rules for EXPO memory and SoC voltage. To help protect the CPU and motherboard, we are issuing new EFI updates to limit the maximum available SoC voltage to 1.3V.

We recommend updating your motherboard UEFI BIOS to the latest release. Please also ensure the CPU is cooled adequately. Our recommendation is to use at least a 240mm AIO liquid cooler or high-performance air cooler. If you have been affected, please do not hesitate to contact ASUS support for your region.

我們的消息來源告知 AMD 原先規劃是 1.35V,但不確定何以 ASUS 的聲明中提到主機板的 SoC Voltage 將限制在 1.3V。如前面提到,SoC Voltage 限制在 1.35V 以下,可能會對 DDR5-6000 MT/s 以上的記憶體有一定層面的影響。

基本上,ASUS 已經在 4 月 21 日開始針對旗下 AM5 主機板釋出新版本 BIOS,用以解決 SoC Voltage 高於 1.35V 的問題,若你目前使用 Ryzen 7000X3D 系列處理器,請立即將 BIOS 更新至最新版本。

4 月 26 日 11:13 更新:與主機板業者確認,AMD 最後決定將 SoC Voltage 定調為 1.3V。
