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.

    I myself like to put a little bit of pocket lint into the CPU socket for good luck. Maybe offer it a few crumbs of what I’ve been eating in case it was hungry. That’s totally normal right?
