Since a lot of people are still posting here about their ASRock motherboards killing their ryzens, can everyone who "survived" post their configuration(s) here and tell us how long they have been running? Also I'm quite interested about the bios versions you are using.

My current pc is about 3 months old:

- Motherboard: ASRock B850 PRO RS (shipped with bios version 3.40, only booted once in the bios to check everything was being recognized and then updated directly to 4.43, so my pc never booted with an operating system with bios 3.40, only with 4.43 for now)

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X

- RAM: Patriot Viper Venom ddr5 6000mhz cl30 32GB (2x16GB) with EXPO enabled (config 1)

- OS: Void Linux with kernel 7.2.9 (linux-mainline)

Only EXPO is enabled, everything else in the bios is set to their default values, I never touched them. It is working fine, never had issues during boot or stuff like that

I usually run the latest kernel version, I was on linux 7.2.4 and nvidia drivers 595.91.07 and niri (wayland), everything was completely fine (except for the gpu getting blank screen after suspending the pc but I don't care much about it). Today I updated both the kernel to 7.2.6 and nvidia drivers to 595.99.02, using the pc as always like browsing on firefox and coding in Zed I noticed that the everything was stuttering/lagging when I scrolled the pages in firefox and zed and the pointer of the mouse even moved with stutters/lags, I thought the batteries of my mouse were dying so I changed them since they were pretty old but nothing changed so I rebooted, nothing changed, so I decided to boot into linux 7.2.4 and everything is completely fine, so I think we can rule out the nvidia driver, though my question is what did they do in linux 7.2.6 that makes it stutter?

I have a ryzen 9 9900x and a rtx5060ti 16gb in case you know about some updates in linux 7.2.6 about amd, zen 5, nvidia, blackwell, etc.

Edit: today I booted in linux 7.2.6 again to try and check the stuttering/lags situation but it works normally now, no stutters. I don't know what the problem was 🫠
