Are you just plucking acronyms out of the air as something to pin it on?

WTF does Throttle stop (PROCHOT) have to do with this? The CPU's cores are not overheating, they do not need throttling, its not what causes the SoC to short. You're just making #### up now.

In that case, perhaps take your CPU cooler off and let us know what happens lol

Oh I've been looking, but I don't want to pay Gigabyte prices, ASRock seem to have issues with m.2 speeds and MSI boards seem to have a thing with sharing PCIe lanes with m.2 drives, so with the B650 Carbon it seems 50% of the m.2 drives will reduce the 1st PCIe slot to 8x.
When I was looking at B650 motherboards Gigabyte seemed competitive on price, but they have a lot of reports of coil whine on the VRM which would put me off them.

The fact that Asus thought it was ok to slam the the SoC with 1.45v is quite scary, don't you think? They can't even get the basics right.

The default is 1.05v. With the 5800X from what i understood the maximum was 1.2v and preferably less than that. i have it at 1.17v with 3200MT/s XMP overclocked to 3800MT/s.

You ask any, at least; Ryzen 5000 owner who has spent some time researching overlcocking their RAM that ^^^^^ is what they will tell you.
Ryzen 5000's IO die was on a completely different process node which could tolerate less voltage so it's not a great comparison. 1.1v on a 5000 series is about equal to 1.3v on a 7000 series.

I wonder if amd even has access to the testing equipment that gamers nexus took it to? My guess is amd probably waiting for the gamers nexus analysis and now they got the info a proper fix can be done. Saves money in diagnosing i guess :D
Gonna have to be very careful on buying 2nd hand am5 parts.

I think you would find that the testing and inspection equipment at the manufacturer would be far superior! At least you would hope so.
