Asrock responded to the reports last week. The company said that it had inspected a motherboard from a system where the CPU showed burn damage. It claimed there was no burn damage around the mobo or VRM area. After "cleaning and removing debris" from the CPU socket, the motherboard booted up successfully with the original BIOS and passed long-term stress tests.
Removing debris?
I myself like to put a little bit of pocket lint into the CPU socket for good luck. Maybe offer it a few crumbs of what I've been eating in case it was hungry. That's totally normal right?
I just cut up a paper clip. I heard that it speeds up office programs.
I can't believe you sacrificed clippy!?
Great, so now we've got both Intel and AMD with high-end CPUs that are physically destroying themselves.
I thought this issue was fixed by updating your bios and that none of the investigated systems were damaged as a result of the issue.
Is the generation before cheaper?
Yes, by a lot
Good to know.
