AMD Ryzen 7000X3D processors reportedly malfunctioning — BIOS updates could help

A small sample of Reddit and YouTube users have been complaining about malfunctions on AMD's latest generation of processors, the Ryzen 7000X3D series, Ars Technica reports.

In at least one instance, a Reddit user reported a malfunction on a Ryzen 7800X3D that resulted in the processor becoming physically deformed, bulging out underneath and bending the pins on the motherboard's processor socket.
 
I wonder how much of this is motherboard manufacturers not following spec :)
