AMD has responded to reports of 108 Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs unexpectedly dying in users’ machines, with most of the incidents happening on Asrock motherboards. Team Red blames memory compatibility issues for the processors “failing to complete POST,” even though the affected chips reportedly did pass POST and worked for anything from half an hour to several months before dying, with many cases showing physical damage.
Great, so now we’ve got both Intel and AMD with high-end CPUs that are physically destroying themselves.
I thought this issue was fixed by updating your bios and that none of the investigated systems were damaged as a result of the issue.
Is the generation before cheaper?
Yes, by a lot
Good to know.
