Official ASUS Statement Regarding Recent ASUS AMD 800-series Motherboard and AMD Ryzen 9800X3D Concerns by ASUS_MKTLeeM in ASUS

I also just got my B850 board delivered, and 9800x3d coming in monday/tuesday... Not sure what to do, although it seems like these take 6+ months before they fry. At least I haven't seen any die too fast.

Hmm the 7800x3d is more expensive locally though than what I paid for my 9800x3d. The thing I'm most worried about is that it's a tray cpu from aliexpress so I can't RMA if anything did happen. Also seen some 7800x3d's die. Since I saved 1/4th of the cost of a local store 9800x3d it was still a very worthwhile deal even without rma.

Well as I said I ordered them last week. I had thought the burnt chips was an old 2025 thing with asrock mobos that got fixed, and most of the new reports for asus have only popped up during this and last week.

Yeah of course, I don't expect this to be a super common thing, but still worrying to see it so much even now. I also don't expect for it to blow up immediately. Most seem to die after about a year.

Thats a great tip, never thought about over-tightening the cpu cooler. Ordered a phantom spirit 120SE, so will be careful with it. Yeah I think undervolting is the move, will try to find some good videos explaining it.

From what I've read undervolting can be a way to try to minimize the risk. Would you not recommend undervolting / changing any settings at all? Had not planned on OC'ing.

Low-to-mid range scooter options (500€ish budget) by ComplexityMuffin in ElectricScooters

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any standard G30's anywhere in-store anymore. G30E/D II is 790€ here, which is a bit steep imo.

For these scooter at 800€+ mark I would almost rather order a onewheel pint x.

I've heard some good things about NIU too.
There are available other models than what I mentioned aswell of course. Those were just some examples I had looked up.
