ASRock is a well-known manufacturer of motherboards and other PC components, for both consumers and industry. But right now it’s also well-known for high-end AMD 9000 CPUs, especially in some custom builds. That’s not ideal if you want to keep manufacturing motherboards. After a recent exposé video, the company is trying to make some PR headway.

Through the spring and summer of this year, a small buy notable number of recent AMD Ryzen Zen5 processors have been failing, and an inordinate number of them have been in ASRock’s motherboards. Various explanations and solutions have been put forward, and there’s been the usual finger-pointing among different companies, but the preponderance of evidence seems to indicate that this is a specific problem with ASRock boards.
