AMD’s Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs seem to have launched with a slight vulnerability to damage from enthusiast tinkerers. Now that we know that this kind of serious damage is not a fluke but a fact, we want to know what exactly is going on. Courtesy of Lab. Reports and Findings Based on fatally damaged CPU pins.
A recent story about a burnt-out Ryzen 7000X3D has captivated us lately.When a PC has a serious problem, it’s often not the CPU that’s the culprit. It is also virtually free from consumer damage after installation. In this case, as highlighted in Friday’s report with information and photos from Redditor Speedrookie, the CPU is definitely severely damaged, but the motherboard seems to be at fault.
When the story broke, there wasn’t enough evidence to draw a conclusion. It was said that there was Last month, overclocking expert der8auer shared a video of him accidentally flying his Ryzen 7000X3D with reckless voltage.
However, the tweaks applied would have been nice for a Ryzen chip without a 3D V-Cache. Igor Wallossek, editor at Igor’s Lab, spent about 30 minutes discussing pin analysis theory with his der8auer overclocker and confirmed that he has a plausible theory to share regarding his CPU at Speedrookie.

Igor’s lab worked side-by-side with AMD’s pinout diagrams and a superimposed image of Speedrookie’s damaged CPU. Despite many complaints about AMD’s source documentation, Igor believes that accurate overlays have been achieved to better understand the damage.
According to research overlay work, the catastrophic physical damage zone corresponds to the CPU pin that powers the core. “All affected contacts supply the CPU with his VDDCR (CPU core power supply),” writes Igor’s lab.
While the above observations answer the question regarding the most severely visible damaged areas of the chip, they raise further questions. For example, the investigator asks if some pins were physically damaged prior to this failure, or if there was a short to her CPU in the first place. Additionally, Igor’s lab rules out faulty spring contacts, faulty assemblies, or faulty socket batches.
The source’s publication admits that the investigation cannot proceed further unless the damaged goods are in hand. A Reddit post shows that Gamers his Nexus Steve Burke beat them, even though AMD and Asus were seeking returns for damaged products. purchase Destroyed hi-tech wreckage. Expect to see some GN branded investigative videos in the not too distant future.
Today we reported about MSI limiting the voltages of the Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs with a new motherboard BIOS update. The only voltage adjustment allowed going forward is negative offset.
