Yesterday, on the PCMR subreddit, u/t0pli posted a photograph of a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, one of the best CPUs, with visibly damaged pin contacts and a motherboard socket scuffed in the same place.
This is the third report of a Ryzen 7 9800X3D burnout, although the two previous cases were on MSI X870 motherboards. Redditor u/t0pli's Ryzen 7 9800X3D was reportedly paired with an ASRock Nova x870E motherboard and had worked perfectly fine for the past three weeks until suddenly and spontaneously failing one day. The failure prompted the user to share the photographs and subsequent Reddit posting.
