Safe to enable EXPO now?

[ginjaninja]

I've recently upgraded to Asus x670e tuf, 2x32GB Corsair 6000 C30, 7800X3D, Noctua NH-D15.
I've seen some scare stories about 7000 CPUs breaking and warranties not being honoured.

Am i safe to enable expo? ive updated to latest non beta bios, TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS BIOS 1636
release notes say - Update AGESA version to Combo AM5 PI 1.0.0.7b

im not planning any tweaking beyond expo enabled = yes.

thanks

Yes it's safe.
Warranties are honoured after some companies realised they were in the wrong.

i never turned it off. your warranty for the first 12 months is in the UK(the shop) if you send a CPU back there is no way for them to know you have EXPO on

Same here, bought my 7900X the day it came out and was using EXPO. I thought I've had no problem for months and it's still under warranty.

I had my EXPO enabled from day 1 but I manually set my SOC voltage to 1.2v for peace of mind.

You should be good with that BIOS, these were the important ones:

Version 1409
2023/04/21
[...]
4. Implement thermal monitoring mechanisms to help protect the CPU and motherboard. Also, the older BIOSes with manual Vcore control were removed.

Version 1413
2023/04/27
SoC voltage for Ryzen 7000X3D series limited to a maximum of 1.30V to protect the CPU and motherboard.

TUF Gaming X670E-PLUS

i said i wouldnt tweak but ive dropped mine down as well...im stable (sofar) at 1.1v with prime 95 @

1. make sure unchecking " in-place" otherwise it will test cpu mostly
2. Set the range from 448K to 4096K
3. Allocate the ram at least 70 percent of your total memory Fot instance of you use 16gb then around 12000 to 13000mb is adequate
4. Run for good 2 hours

For piece of mind just set soc to 1.2 and double check it's set with a monitoring program like zen timings or hwinfo64

Was never an issue TBH. A tiny number of overclocked X3D chips failed.

Always been safe!
