105W mode for Ryzen 9000 is covered by warranty

105W mode for Ryzen 9000 is covered by warranty

Since the launch of the AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors, the company has sent out a series of updates and improvements in new BIOS versions. Now the company has officially confirmed that the new mode that increases the TDP value will not cause warranty issues for users.

AMD's launch of the Ryzen 9000 series was rather lackluster. Performance wasn't much different from the previous generation, leading to a lukewarm reception to say the least. Motherboard manufacturer MSI began offering some sort of turbo mode in its BIOS shortly after launch. This mode increased the processors' TDP values ​​to 105W, proving its ability to achieve approximately ten percent higher performance.

However, overclocking is always risky, and if something happens, it is not certain that you will be bailed out by the product warranty. However, it has been said for some time that this higher TDP mode will be included in AMD's product warranty with AGESA 1.2.0.2 which has now been confirmed to be true.

The other news in AGESA's latest update is that they have simply succeeded in reducing the latency in the processors themselves. Which is something that should lead to better performance in games like Metro Exodus and Borderlands 3. Overall, one wouldn't expect massive performance gains from this, but an improvement is always an improvement.
