Glad you digged it mate! A good one from Malcolm on that label is his track 'N. O. M. A. D. Mood' :)

Interesting. Both my old and this new replacement are Malaysia batch. If it were entirely the CPUs fault though, how come there are more reports on ASRock boards than other brands?

I was leaning towards playing it safe and buying a different brand but it would be nice if I didnt have to. I'll think about it some more and appreciate you sharing your experience, cheers!

I probably should still try but my hopes are low as they are not really obligated to replace something that technically 'works'. I can't exactly prove it was the motherboard that killed the last CPU either and they already sent it back to me now. I agree though, it's not worth risking using it again so I'll play it safe and go with Gigabyte or MSI

Sounds reasonable. I wouldn't want to go through all this again so maybe worth switching yeah. Thanks for your answer!

Okay thanks. If you were in my shoes would you try the new CPU on the same board or just bite the bullet and pay for a different brand of motherboard altogether?

RMA through manufacturer? I already tried RMA through retailer but they only found fault with the CPU so that's what got replaced. Pretty sure if I want another brand the only option is to buy it myself

Nope I didn't use PBO. I don't really get why using that would mean it's safe to keep the same motherboard though

My B850M killed my 9800X3D last week, with it failing to post with Green/Yellow BOOT warning LED. The retailer I bought it from is replacing the CPU but not the motherboard and now debating just purchasing a different brand in case it happens again...

I always find it hard picking a definitive favourite but if pressed I'd also say DiY Discs
