New firmware locks voltages to calm CPU crematorium

ASRock has pushed a fresh BIOS update for its 800-series motherboards, claiming better CPU and memory stability after its boards developed a nasty habit of roasting AMD’s new Ryzen 9000 processors.

Motherboard makers told to clear shelves before October

AMD has officially pulled the plug on its B650 and B650E chipsets, ordering partners to shift production to the newer B850 line.

Both the X870 and X870E

While AMD and motherboard makers have yet to confirm the launch date of the new 800-series motherboards, Amazon has jumped the gun, showing that these motherboards will be released on September 30th. Earlier leak also puts the review embargo for the same date.

Reportedly at the CES 2025 show

It appears that AMD's mainstream B850 and B840 chipset motherboards might not launch together with the X870 and X870E chipset motherboards, but, according to the latest report, these should be coming early next year, around CES 2025 show.
