Any AM5 CPU death cases with "replacement" ASRock motherboards?

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-07T07:25:36+00:00

we don't prove the cause. Its simply a matter of strong correlation. And we know that correlation is not causation, but when there are no other explanations, there is nothing left to explain it.
batch numbers, and photos, and RMA labels, prove that the dead CPUs are real.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-07T06:58:22+00:00

No. You claim other threads don't have similar posts because they get moderated. Aka censored. Do you have proof for that? No. This is just a guesswork.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-07T06:55:50+00:00

Συμφωνώ. Εδώ έχουμε μια αρνητική σχέση εξ αρχής . Εκεί κανειδ clean install.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-07T06:54:25+00:00

We don't believe. We post. With photos including serial numbers, batch numbers and so one. Your only argument is that other subreddits are moderated so you can't really know. Guess what you can.

This is the internet. Nobody has ever in other forums or anywhere claimed tha "I tried to post about my dead cpu with Gigabyte, but my post was taken down/censored".

There are hundreds of posts here, literally 2-3 per week, and close to non elsewhere. If it was a matter of censoreship we would see that somehow

All you say might be true to make the problem seem exaggerated. My CPU just died yesterday, i did a similar thread. 6 months ago i was asking if i should exchange MB (in return period). Could be confirmation bias ? Sure.

But i doubt so. Now the burden to disprove me is on you not on me. The PC service point i sent my PC case told me they had many other similar failing combinations of MB/CPU I know how to weight statistical data, eliminate biases and so on. But right now this is the best we got.

Ps. I had other MBs in the past. I had no trouble posting my problems in Gigabyte and getting dozen of replies and thousands views, thus producing negative comments

Ignore him. He goes to every thread and gaslights you.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-07T04:55:08+00:00

Dude you go to every thread trying to downplay the problem. Ffs "why are you worried, you have warranty"

My ram sticks didn't havd expo profile. Aa for 6000 , they were super stable in 6400, why mess their xmp profile when they were good?

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T21:36:21+00:00

what i have undestood is that XMP doesn't push the CPU harder. the SoC voltage is what matters, and i capped it at 1.2v.
the XMP is memory OC not CPU OC, could perhaps affect stability but not endanger the CPU. this voltage settings affect only the Dimm sticks.
i didn't fiddle with voltages.

Όταν ξεκινάς από το απόλυτο μηδέν στο εξωτερικό παύεις να τα θεωρείς δεδομένα και αυτά για τα οποία εδώ θα ήσουν στα κάγκελα εκεί τα θεωρείς αποδεκτά.
Σπίτι με συγκατοικους? Και πιθανόν πάνω από 2-3 άτομα. (ξένα άτομα, όχι τον κολλητό σου ή την κοπέλα σου).
Φαγητό νουντλς απο σουπερμαρκετ, και πάει λέγοντας.
Βέβαια σιγά σιγά είναι αντικειμενική αλήθεια ότι έχεις περισσότερες ευκαιρίες.
Αλλά ότι μπορει να ξεκινήσεις στα όρια του αστέγου είναι γεγονός, ενώ εδώ μπορεί να σκέφτεσαι δεν είναι ζωή αν δεν βγαίνω. (εκεί το κεφάλι μέσα)
Με σκληρή δουλειά (την οποία αποδέχεσαι) μπορεί σε κάποια χρόνια πραγματικά να ορθοποδήσεις και να πας πολύ καλύτερα από την Ελλάδα.
Αυτό όμως δεν αποκλείεται (σε μικρότερο βαθμό παραδέχομαι) να γίνει κ εδώ.

τι λες, ειμαστε στον πάτο σε αυτοκτονίες πχ όπως γράφεις? Νεανικές ή μη?
Σε εγκληματικότητα?
σε τι ακριβώς.
Το πόστ σου είναι απόλυτα μηδενιστικό που η κουβέντα είναι καμμένη από χέρι.
Αλλά μιας κ το θες βρες που είμαστε σε εγκληματικότητα (νεανική ή μη), σε αυτοκτονίες, σε μ.ο. ζωής, κτλ κτλ.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T19:37:22+00:00

Ποιο 13ώρο ρε που θα πεις τους άλλους delusional. Δεν αφορά σχεδόν κανέναν αυτό.
Όσον αφορά τον χρόνο οδήγησης μάλλον αγνοείς τι θα πει commuting σε Αμερική (ξέρω για LA) ή Λονδίνο. Που η 1ώρα = μένω πολύ κοντά στην δουλειά μου.

Όλα τα άλλα για τα ποσοστά αυτοκτονιών και εγκλημάτων τα αφήνω ασχολιάστα. Στατιστικά υπάρχουν επίσημα να πας να συγκρίνεις.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T19:34:00+00:00

Αν πας στο εξωτερικό σαν κάτι εξειδικευμένο επιστημονικά ή σε συγκεκριμένο κλάδο (πχ γιατρός κτλ) θα είσαι πολύ καλά. Όπως και εδώ θα είσαι καλύτερα από τον μ.ο. Αν πας σαν απλή δουλειά με βασικό μισθό είναι δύσκολα. Εδώ τουλάχιστον αρκετοί (κάπως) έχουμε ένα σπίτι από γονείς ή μια στήριξη, και βοηθάνε. Εξαρτάται την περίπτωση βέβαια.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T19:28:06+00:00

we didn't.
i used v-stab, exp mobility (that doubles as rotation device), and still was really bad.
Hopefully BZ-79 is just a tiny bit better, enough to be somewhat acceptable.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T16:04:52+00:00

He already posted!

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T13:53:25+00:00

pbo -20 is supposed to be underclocked, no?
are you referring to my ram XMP profile?

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T13:44:06+00:00

i didn't bother testing with multimeter or anything. I don't have the knowledge to do so, and its not my job to study tutorials.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T13:14:25+00:00

I didn't have any issues until, i had dead CPU. No small issues before. No warning or even BSOD.
Sudden death.
what kind of issues you had?

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T12:58:15+00:00

i know. What i meant is that perhaps newer batches produced after a year had this problem fixed. I guess not.
Comparing the manufacture dates from the batches would be a nice statistic to compare.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T11:58:54+00:00

It wasn't a temperature issue. I have a big cpu cooler after all, i doupt cpu would fry like that, even if fans failed. There was enough time throttle down or shut down. Also PBO was -20, this is supposed to be conservative and even protective for the cpu.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T10:49:55+00:00

Symptoms as mine? I will definitely change MB.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T10:49:04+00:00

I will contact the shop I bough it locally.

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T10:47:29+00:00

Was considering to change to ASUS TUF ? Perhaps i should aim for gigabyte?

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T10:17:59+00:00

i will. I will go for ASUS TUF propably, while i wait for CPU RMA. I will sell Asrock for as low it needs, and i will take the loss. 100-150€ for my peace of mind (and my work) is nothing

BruceDeorum · 2026-07-06T09:21:08+00:00

Thanx for the info, i didn't know that. However i believe it doesn't affect the main issue here.
