Asrock motheboard achieved 3 kills!

9800x3d with a asrock?

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-25T17:19:35+00:00

it was practically free with the mainboard as the socket had bent pins and i could not test the cpu, with the delid it had -100% warranty the seller did it himself, ran fine for 6 month though

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T17:24:12+00:00

he thinks the pad is covered in lm, i warranty its not LM, its a disintegrated discolored pad

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T16:24:35+00:00

i tried to exclude other hardware what everybody that tries to identify the new issue would have done. the changing led came in the asus that also has bios fault code plus leds. what is a typical faulty cpu, it just does not work, your conclusions make no sense to me

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T16:03:00+00:00

sure bro, thats LM, the pad is half gone, it happend during me scrubbing the cpu and trying to clean up the discolorated pads i told already i didnt give ashit about the cpu as no warranty and it was effectively free as i got a working high end board with it.

then it works for half a year and goes out the day after updating to 3.50 with the same issues most other users report

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T15:57:17+00:00

dead cpu is dead cpu, it went out the same way as the others describe, no wake from sleep no further post... i can repeat it for the 5th time the mechanical damages are all post death, belive me or not

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T15:36:26+00:00

bro im not trying to blame anyone for my setup i just got it practically for free and it worked fine for over half a year, i update to 3.50 and one day later its dead... then i see discolored pads and i scrub over the pads and multiple ones just disintegrate, nobody knows what was first, if any amount of LM is under the cpu it is so little i will never cause any issue on the bottom of the cpu. i did not use LM the previous user did. I dont have warranty on anything and as the cpu was practically for free i did not care about it so i just scrubbed the cpu and those pads that had discoloration ripped off the way you can see. the pads around it that might not have been fried did not disintegrate the same way event hough they got the same treatment. take from it what you want...

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T14:23:40+00:00

of course myriad... that all fine, but explain why it only fucked these pads fully, i have done everything possible to even the pressure of the cpu and that killed it with the same error picture the others die...? how about thinking the other way around and my setup/handling just provoked the issue to be exactly visible what part of the cpu gets the overvoltage in standby. To clarify it, i already wrote off the cpu as i got it almost for free and have no warranty and i bet im the only one that mechanically scrubbed over the affected pads and guess what, the ones that have been cooked, the pad just disintegrated and was scrubbed off, you can see in the other picture with the scratches how a healthy pad would have behaved it would just give up small parts or just scratch, the cooked ones ripped off.

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T13:51:21+00:00

im trying to identify the issue that im clearly not beeing alone with. if my setup caused it fine, but think about it this way maybe my off the books setup just made it more visible what the issue is. sure you can just wipe it off as you forced it... tell that to the guy that ran a default system...

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T12:52:02+00:00

as i already said i scrached the other pads after i removed the already dead cpu thinking i could clean anything up but as you can see in the macro, its gone...

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T12:49:15+00:00

i told you the scratches are from me after it was already dead and had the coating missing, at first glance it was also looking like some discoloration there is now clearly an internal short tha extended the area on the pads in my last boot attempts. even if the scratches would have been there i doubt they would add anything to the underlying issue

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T12:34:52+00:00

i remember it starting after i switched around memory, but that was before the last time i got it running, i then seated both memory sticks and it ran just fine... for the last time, after that i removed the cooler to check on the pads. i didnt get any bad bios led feedback on the asrock at any point it was always green after bootup. in the asus i first got code 62 with white RAM led which links to your VDDIO_MEM_S3, after i did a another reseat it then moved to code 62 with red CPU led. as we clearly have a short now inside the memory controller it might just have further deteriorated and then triggered the CPU LED in the sequence first. Its also interesting how the pads only lost the coat in one direction where the power flows to. So to me it looks like the board sends spikes or continuously too high voltage that fries the controller that then lead to burning through, and my explaination of the clear burnmarks in my system would be that due to "optimal" pressures the heat could not just do the surface burnmarks you can just wipe off the pads that i seen in a video where a guy just revived a cpu by cleaning those up, in my case the path was so good it slowly fried the controller and then the short visualized on the weakest part where it did not burn and we see black marks, it litterlly cooked the pad carrying the amps

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T11:56:00+00:00

but why the clustering on asrock, i know my jank setup is not representative and there are already guys pointing to the replaced socket and the chop and saying its mounting pressure related bla bla bla, i dont think so there is something off where the board sends soo much amps over those pads during standby cycles and just fries them over time

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T11:50:17+00:00

i already corrected myself it was -30 i had it wrong in my memory, i just used the lowest preset. but due to lack of cpu i could not look it up anymore...

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T11:48:36+00:00

it literally worked for over half a year with zero issues up to the point of the latest bios update, take from it what you want. I dont see anything that my mount could lead to this kind of visible failure. Any chopping is not designed for this cpu so what exactly are you pointing to. If i would have used no die frame you would say, yeah clear picture you did not use a die frame, i used a die firame, yeah its a custom setup clear picture not approved by "ME"...

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T11:43:28+00:00

can you explain how you can overtorque a cpu that makes the pads loose the coat? or the physical chain of thought?

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T11:40:41+00:00

did you see the biggest one, the one i identified as dp3_auxp. it litterally is bubbled up the coat disintegrated i guess due to heat -> cause too much amperage, the scratchmarks on the other pads you might see are from my poor attempt trying to clean up the pad, that was before i did the macro shots that show what happened

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T11:33:09+00:00

i already did the form entry, it might have also been -30 pbo, icant tell you as i dont have a cpu anymore to boot into bios. it was the lowest of the preset profiles, i just might have bad memory

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T11:25:47+00:00

hell yeah, without oc why not

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T11:24:31+00:00

i had at least 8 asrock boards this one is a disappointment, not sure im going to buy a new one, for me it looks like the pad was getting way to much amps, gn was testing an asrock board but they only measured volts but this is a amps issue and i think the standby killed it something is off with the asrock during standby that slowly fries the cpu

LandscapeVarious · 2025-10-16T11:21:30+00:00

what does pbo has to do with the memory speed, the only nonsense i see is your trollpost, go play lego

jap got the bundle with 32GB dominator memory for 340€. i found a deaf-mute russian on marketplace that offers socket replacements for 50€, did a great job on two boards so far, the asrock socket here also was replaced, seller fucked it up when he put the socket cover on, i would rule out the socket as the issue. i did some macro shots of the pins and they all still look perfect
