Asrock has launched a new BIOS for its base plates based on the AMD 800 chipset or platform to avoid the socket burns problems that have appeared in some systems with processors and socket plates AM5 with CPUS such as the AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3D.

The reason for these burns would be in incorrect adjustments by Asrock and other manufacturers, for applying certain values ​​that leave the range of the values ​​specified by AMD that can cause stability problems or even overheating and burns on the motherboard. The problem seems to be in the voltage that applies to the SOC the motherboard, and in certain forced configurations of the LLC (LOAD LINE CALIBRATION).

The new BIOS Asrock 3.40 is now available for AM5 plates with chipset 800

The new BIOS adjusts these values ​​to about 1.2 Vy the LLC at level 3, instead of applying higher values ​​and automatic LLC mode. In this way, the use of these plates with high performance processors such as the AMD Ryzen 9000 with X3D cache by avoiding specific overwrite that could occur in previous bios.

The new BIOS of Asrock is version 3.40 and is available on the company’s download website since yesterday, with specific versions for the different motherboard of the company.
