It wasn't actually bad hardware.
Primarily the 13th and 14th generation CPU's using the Raptor Lake
platform, and the issues were software related not actual hardware
issues. The problem stemmed from a microcode algorithm that caused
elevated operating voltages leading to CPU degradation and crashes.
Once they patched the code the problems went away.
Older AMD CPU's actually did have hardware issues causing them to
operate so hot that they would catch on fire and also fry the mobo.
Note that I said 'older'.
