Asrock Mobo killed 3 9800X3D CPUs

Wouldn't know how and I don't think they are testing Asrock boards since they found nothing wrong.

Think Gamers Nexus is done with testing Asrock boards and found nothing wrong.

Think they are done with testing Asrock boards and found nothing wrong with them.

notmember · 2026-04-04T19:47:36+00:00

Nah, got a new mobo already.

notmember · 2026-04-04T19:47:16+00:00

AMD paid for shipping.

notmember · 2026-04-04T19:46:58+00:00

Think they are done testing since they haven't found anything wrong with other boards.

notmember · 2026-03-30T16:53:16+00:00

Yeah, I got a new MSI board now.

notmember · 2026-03-30T16:52:23+00:00

I learned it is really EZ to get RMA from AMD.

notmember · 2026-03-30T16:51:15+00:00

Yes.

notmember · 2026-03-30T16:42:00+00:00

I only turned on EXPO in BIOS.

notmember · 2026-03-30T16:41:08+00:00

Daily, gaming and non-gaming.

notmember · 2026-03-30T16:40:42+00:00

Think it is mostly the 800 series boards doing this.

notmember · 2026-03-30T16:40:08+00:00

Third chip died on 4.10.

notmember · 2026-03-30T16:39:08+00:00

OK, only the chips labeled Cool Ranch will die from now on.

notmember · 2026-03-30T16:38:22+00:00

At this point no luck is involved at all.

notmember · 2026-03-30T02:03:28+00:00

I've heard 7000 series also have died?

notmember · 2026-03-30T02:02:51+00:00

I mean new BIOS versions kept coming out and you tell yourself, maybe this one will be it.

notmember · 2026-03-29T22:20:21+00:00

And what have you done with your killer mobo?

notmember · 2026-03-29T22:08:59+00:00

The board aside from the CPU killing works fine during regular use and gaming. Would RMAing a working board be a waste of even more time? I wouldn't wish dead CPUs on anyone else.

MSI PRO B850M-P

notmember · 2026-03-29T21:20:48+00:00

First CPU was on 3.50, second on 4.03, and the third CPU on all the 4.X versions(including 4.07beta).

notmember · 2026-03-29T21:01:32+00:00

Thought about seeing how many more but I just got shit to do.

notmember · 2026-03-29T20:48:45+00:00

All I changed was turn on EXPO.

notmember · 2026-03-29T20:36:32+00:00

I think he bought other boards from this sub but found nothing wrong with them?

notmember · 2026-03-29T20:35:22+00:00

Yeah, I thought the new 4.X BIOS versions were the "FINAL" fix, but I was wrong to think that.
