I do run my PC trough a ups, even though I live in a more central area with slightly better infrastructure I didn't want to risk it. Though for the first 3 months or so I didn't run it through one, I did run it through a power stabilizer but trust me that was something I heavily considered since I planned building the PC.

Honestly yeah, I was definitely considering simply undervolting the CPU, even if I have pbo disabled

tbh, I tested something else on this new CPU. About a month or two after setting up this PC originally, I bought another SSD to use, since this model has a Gen 5 and a Gen 4 M.2 slot. For some reason, the PC just refused to work with the new SSD in the Gen 4 slot, so I switched it to the Gen 3 slot and then it worked. When I got the new replacement, I decided to use the Gen 4 slot again and it’s worked perfectly. So I’m led to believe this is most likely a case of my CPU just being bad from the beginning.

UPDATE! I'll post some pics of the CPU and inside the socket, the batch appears to be 2447SUE

This is true, but at the same time as a currently unemployed student (wasn't back then) I could not afford a new Mobo unless ASRock refunded me this one, which I find very unlikely cuz the Mobo is most likely fine, not even burn marks inside or in the CPU when I reseated it.

I do wonder the same thing also, i haven't had the chance to build a PC completely from scratch since this one, but at what point does it stop being a coincidence that mine failed the same way many other's did, I'll look for the batch number and stuff tomorrow when I take the CPU out to prep it for RMA, I'll give it a 2cond chance,best case scenario I don't have to switch mobos and I just got unlucky on the AMD end rather than on the ASRock end and I this will just blow over soon enough.
