AMD probes reports of deep fried Ryzen 7000 chips
elevated voltages when Expo profiles are enabled. After applying the patched BIOSes, others observed reduced SoC voltages.
Disabling EXPO/XMP might mean living with slower memory speeds and looser latencies than advertised, but given the prices AMD is charging for its chips and OEMs for AM5 motherboards, we suspect that's a small price to pay compared inadvertently frying your system. It remains to be seen how the BIOS tweaks will impact memory performance and stability. High-end memory kits often require higher voltages to maintain stability at faster transfer rates. As such, capping the maximum voltage or limiting boards to negative voltage off-sets may reduce the likelihood of damage but also introduce instability at advertised speeds.
