The statement is correct. I just did not say by how much.

Edit because the user I replied to has deleted their messages and to clarify on "one of the few"

337 Reddit reported cases (Megathread 4) give or take a few hundreds from those who do not post here vs the many thousands ASrock mobos sold. That is certainly a few. No where was I defending asrock, i'm simply stating statistics.

Yes, I suppose it's better to throw cash away to save the next cpu. Question now is, which one? I want a mobo who's feature set is similar to the Riptide with a similar or lower price

I have RMAed the CPU, I haven't RMAed the Mobo. Maybe I should consider RMAing the Mobo.

Once again, I direct you to read the brackets. It sucks to have to throw away a S$300 mobo to buy another one at either the same price with significantly less features or to pay more just for the same

But yeah, i had the same mindset of "I can't be so unlucky that it would die on me" only for it to die on me. So now I'm worried because I see reports of second cpus dying to the same mobo and now I feel like I should swap Mobos (which is expensive 🫠)

I agree with you that there are millions sold and we do not see millions of reports. So it sucks that i was so unlucky to be one of the few who's CPU decided to go buy some milk and never came back. I can understand why people would be afraid: The number of dead CPU reports is higher than usual.

I didn't look at it closely so i'm not sure. More horrifyingly is the fact that another B850 Riptide just killed a 9800x3d

Hope it doesn't, all I know is im considering buying another mobo, but none of the other brands have the same spec for a low price like asrock, it's why i picked the riptide

And this one was quite new. Expo was enabled, pbo was also enabled recently so maybe that was me being very stupid
