A Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU exploded on a Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER motherboard when the computer suddenly shut down during use and failing to boot afterward.
The user did not overclock the CPU and only ran DDR5 RAM at 6000 MHz on a very old BIOS from May 2023, before Gigabyte released firmware updates for Ryzen X3D processors.
AMD denied the warranty claim and said the damage was due to human error, which adds to the growing number of similar AM5 CPU failures reported on different motherboard brands.
