Official AMD AGESA 1.0.0.7 BIOS Firmware With Ryzen 7000 Burnout Fix To Release In Early May

wccftech.com:

AMD has made it mandatory for all Ryzen 7000 CPU owners to update to the new AGESA 1.0.0.7 BIOS once it's available next month to avoid burnout issues.

While updating its board partners, AMD revealed that the AGESA 1.0.0.7 BIOS firmware will feature more than just voltage limitations and is mandatory for users to update their motherboards so that they can avoid any burnout issues that are being reported online. Following is the HKEPC's update on the matter:

In response to the Ryzen 7000X3D CPU burnout incident, AMD released the AGESA 1.0.0.7 firmware to save lives. According to the motherboard manufacturer, it does not simply limit the SOC voltage to 1.3V, but also modifies the PROCHOT Control and 'PROCHOT Deassertion Ramp Time is two mechanisms related to thermal safety, .7000X3D users must update to AGESA 1.0.0.7 BIOS as soon as possible

It is understood that PROCHOT Control is a function related to CBS and SMU COMMON. It is a thermal safety function used to prevent the processor from overheating. When the temperature of the processor reaches a critical value, the CPU or other system components will send a PROCHOT signal. The processor The power is then reduced to lower the temperature and prevent possible damage. PROCHOT Deassertion Ramp Time is the time definition for the processor to return to normal power again after the PROCHOT overheating signal occurs. The time interval required for the processor to gradually increase its power and return to normal operating conditions when the temperature drops back below the critical value.

AGESA 1.0.0.7 obviously becomes conservative in the definition of PROCHOT, the voltage and temperature thresholds related to PROCHOT and SOC / IMC will be greatly reduced, and the interval time
