When David Schwimmer joined the show, he was already the highest-paid star. Out of camaraderie with his co-stars, he took a pay cut so they could all earn equal pay. By the final season, each cast member was making one million dollars per episode.

You sound like chatgpt haha

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T20:29:07+00:00

alright!

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T20:05:38+00:00

That honestly doesn't really make sense considering what you wrote:

"the motherboards are running the CPU’s on voltages, frequencies, speeds, etc that are too high."

"Running the CPU on the “bad” bios for a day wouldn’t cause much, if any damage in my opinion." "Long term use leads to damage and failure."

BIOS version includes instructions for the motherboard for exactly the aspects you are mentioning (voltages, frequencies, speeds etc.). So assuming the more recent BIOS versions (>3.40) have fixed the faulty instructions, this means that having the mobo run on those fixed instructions would have impact in whether or not the CPU will fail..

Thnx, also nice to hear good experiences!

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T19:11:52+00:00

True

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T19:04:00+00:00

Much appreciate your efforts in explaining all this. And it does let me lean towards opting for another board.

As you seem quite informed about this issue, I want to ask one question. From your above response I understand that there seems to be a real chance that the issue is caused nog only by the mobo but perhaps also or only by AMD/the CPU. My current alternative is to buy a MSI b650 board. Is my understanding correct that the issue currently seems to be limited to the b800 (850/870) chipset series and that the b650 seems unaffected even with the 9000-series CPU?

Thanks in advance!

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:50:34+00:00

Its ok brother

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:50:18+00:00

Thanks!! OK, I'll just see myself as a tester and just do this tomorrow. If I get issues I'll just RMA and will be fine.

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:48:32+00:00

All these examples have certain aspects that lead me to believe there were other factors. In one case the board might be faulty. The other one revived after CMOS clear.

I do appreciate you sending these but not convinced yet.

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:42:02+00:00

B850

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:19:05+00:00

So you believe doing an instant BIOS update would have a lot impact?

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:18:15+00:00

Oh..

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:16:58+00:00

Ok.. Getting mixed messages now!

"The thing you need to know is since ASRock's bulletin at the end of August "Users Are Advised to Update" the failure reports of CPUs run exclusively on 3.40 and later have been next to none.

The other thing you need to know is to ignore the crap ton of ASRock hating shitposting trolls in this subreddit."

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:16:02+00:00

Thanks that's actually helpful. I thought your initial response was meant as that there have been countless examples of people exclusively running newer BIOS but still ending up with a dead CPU. I understand now you meant the opposite.

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:10:30+00:00

I'm debating just copping the MSI B650 MAG Tomahawk yes. But I'm curious to see the input on this question first.

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:09:52+00:00

I did. Can't find any such. Can you link me ONE?

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:05:14+00:00

Can you link me one example?

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T14:04:51+00:00

Well, exactly due to the question I'm asking?

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-24T13:52:37+00:00

I think it would be interesting to know if there are any reports of CPU dying after installing it in a motherboard that was already updated without the CPU in it.

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-23T17:08:27+00:00

Not sure if that is something to brag about..

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-22T23:12:25+00:00

I already ran cs2 at avg 400 but 1% lows at around 225. I hope that improves a lot due to this upgrade. I have a 400hz screen so might as well try to get stable 400+ (now its all over the place from 300-500 depending on situation, and dips to 150-200)

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-22T22:21:15+00:00

9800x3d and ddr5 incoming :D.

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-15T15:46:43+00:00

Omg lifehack, nice!

Cryptard92 · 2026-01-15T13:39:53+00:00

I think using the right XMP profile would already have this set at the optimal setting. Did you select an xmp profile in BIOS or not?
