- 3 more Ryzen 9800X3D failures reported today, as the overall deaths of Ryzen 9000 CPUs keep on increasing.
- All of these cases were reported on ASUS motherboards.
- AMD has yet to address these issues as concerns among Ryzen 9800X3D users keep on increasing.
While CPU failures are rare, such cases aren’t uncommon for the Ryzen 9000 lineup. Previously, the unusually high number of deaths was attributed to faulty ASRock motherboards, but now it appears to be an AMD-side issue, as death cases are still being reported on motherboards from other manufacturers, mainly ASUS.
Just today, 3 cases of the Ryzen 9800X3D processors dying were reported, all on ASUS motherboards. The Ryzen 9800X3D especially has the highest death count among all Ryzen 9000 CPUs, mainly because it sells the most.
Why it matters: The number of Ryzen 9000 CPUs dying is increasing day by day, yet AMD has yet to address these concerns, leading users to wonder if they might be the next victims.
The first case reported by Redditor TransitionEffective9 used the Ryzen 9800X3D on a ROG Crosshair X870 Hero. While diagnosing his PC, which wasn’t turning on, he found burn marks on the CPU. Even after replacing it, the PC still didn’t boot, which means both his CPU and motherboard died.
Another Redditor who goes by LexiSQ killed his Ryzen 9800X3D just by rebooting his PC. It’s unknown what may have caused the CPU to die in this case, since the user reported his setup working just fine for the last 6 months.
The third case by JGDraco is also mysterious, since his Ryzen 9800X3D didn’t boot on an ASUS TUF B850M-Plus WiFi. Then again, it’s unknown what may have caused these issues.
