AMD late Tuesday released its first media statement on the controversy surrounding Ryzen 7000X3D series processors burning-out as a result of voltage-assisted overclocking. We've covered this in detail, in our older article. The AMD statement reads that the company is aware of the issue, is investigating it, and in the meantime, is getting motherboard- and ODM vendors to ensure that their device firmware/BIOS operate Ryzen 7000X3D processors within the correct voltage tolerances. The statement also called for affected users to reach out to AMD Support.
The AMD statement follows several of its motherboard partners pushing out UEFI firmware (BIOS) updates, and some even removing older versions of BIOS from their Support websites. The new firmware enforces strict limits on CPU core voltages, and prevents voltage-assisted overclocking. Some companies, such as MSI, even introduced new automated overclocking modes that enhance PBO-based performance tuning (improved boost frequency residency), without crossing the voltage limits set by AMD.
Many Thanks to DeathtoGnomes for the tip.

AMD Statement said:"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."
