Amd 7 7800x3d

Hey guys, just wanted some information and advise on the recent news about asus motherboards and the 7 7800x3d chip getting destroyed.

I don't know if this is only affecting asus x670 boards and other manufacturer boards and chipsets.

I've got my 7 7800x3d delivered last week im pairing it up with the Asus strix b650e-i itx just waiting for the ram from Taiwan. What i wanted to know is as any one gave any problem's like think rhe b650 boards, should I be safe and too concerned? Should hold out building the system till we have more information?

I wonder if its ppl trying to oc it somehow cos ppl say where it went bad is where the new 3d cache is.

Unfortunately I don't think we have enough information yet. Asus haven't put out any statement. Gamers Nexus have apparently bought one of the dead chips but haven't released anything yet.

It's very likely neither company has had a chance.to examine the damaged boards and CPU yet.

To my knowledge there are 2 genuine incidents. One on a 7950 x3d and one on a 7850 x3d

If your warranty is solid (i.e. no time limit to make a claim), I would hold on for a bit, yes, but no harm in emailing Asus as SkeeterUK suggested.

There is a very long thread about this in the CPU section, make sure you flash the latest bios, as ASUS have already started to fix the issue, also its advised to manually set your SOC voltage, Ram voltage and MC voltage, its not just ASUS boards, its all of them, ASRock, Gigabyte and MSI too.

Yeah somit to do with memory oc of expo etc setting the soc volts past 1.25 or somit. Cos mb makers probs let them values a bit lax to promote their ocing potential sales pitches.

A\s a lot of others are doing, you can still use expo, just manually set your SOC voltage to 1.15v and memory controller voltage to 1.25v.

The word is SoC overvoltage kills internal CPU monitoring / protections, the motherboard then overvolts CPU core on request of the CPU, the CPU dies and cooks the socket at the same time
