This is incorrect. Multiple instances (more than 6) have thus far been reported and pictured. All four major motherboard OEMs have now come forward with patches that are designed to limit the voltage. You can see their press releases in the link below. These companies aren't making public statements about changes to their firmware to prevent failures for no reason. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/preventing-ryzen-burnout-motherboard-makers-issue-new-firmware https://www.tomshardware.com/news/preventing-ryzen-burnout-m...

It would be so easy to link those 6 reports. One more report I can find is this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/12yq4yb/megathread_for_am5_ryzen_7000/jhpare3/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/12yq4yb/megathread_for... But they said they didn't enable EXPO, which is directly counter to the current theory being pushed by Toms https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/12yq4yb/megathread_for_am5_ryzen_7000/jhpf9xr/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/12yq4yb/megathread_for...

    > renders you unable to make logical statements. Please don't do these kind of personal attacks. There are plenty of people in this thread with roughly similar opinions that "AMD employee kimixa" is expressing. Unless you want to claim they're all AMD employees it's a perfectly normal view to hold – if you disagree then you can say that without attacking people.

it's certainly not for no reason, but it could be a PR move not actually backed up by good technical evidence. The public evidence certainly most strongly hints that higher core voltages could be part of the issue, but the motherboard companies responding to that by doing the obvious thing does not necessarily mean they have actually confirmed the issue exists, just that they either think it's worth doing it just in case or as a way to avoid being seen as not doing anything about it. This is a market segment which has had many a case of mass wild speculation and theories around a small case of reported failures, and most of the theories have turned out to be wrong.
