Silent activation of PSB in the new BIOS version for R10 locks all installed CPUs!
After I updated the BIOS following instructions from official after-sales support, the silently enabled PSB lock on the new BIOS blew specific CPU fuses on multiple of my processors. Consequently, every CPU that was installed and powered on can no longer work on non-Dell motherboards!
Has anyone encountered the same issue? Official customer service refused to assist and claimed this is part of their "security technology".
Reach out to me if you own an R10 or R11 tower and have performed a BIOS update!

It is known that R10 Bios PSB locks AMD cpu to Dell motherboard. One R10 owner said he/she was lucky that the cpu did not get locked.

R11 cpu lock is not heard of.
