Reports of AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor failures are increasing, especially in combination with motherboards from the manufacturer ASRock. Users describe in various forums and on Reddit that their CPUs refuse to work either immediately after installation or after a few weeks. It is striking that many of these incidents occur with ASRock mainboards, which raises the question of whether there is a systematic connection here.
For example, a Reddit user reported that his Ryzen 7 9800X3D suddenly failed after about three weeks of use on an ASRock Nova x870E motherboard. When the CPU was removed, damaged pins and discoloration were found in the socket, indicating a possible short circuit. Interestingly, there were no indications of excessive heat development or other irregularities during operation.
Another case concerns a user who has already lost two Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors on an ASRock X870 Pro RS WiFi motherboard. Both CPUs initially worked perfectly before they stopped working for no apparent reason. The user suspects either a problem with quality assurance at AMD or incompatibility with the ASRock mainboards.
Some users speculate that outdated BIOS versions or incorrect BIOS settings could be causing the failures. Users report that no further problems occurred after a BIOS update to version 3.18. However, it remains unclear whether the BIOS update actually fixes the cause or whether other factors play a role.

It is important to emphasize that these reports are based on individual experiences and there are currently no official statements from AMD or ASRock confirming a general defect. Nevertheless, owners of a Ryzen 7 9800X3D in combination with an ASRock motherboard should exercise caution. It is recommended to update the BIOS to the latest version and check the system settings carefully to minimize potential risks.
Overall, the exact cause of the failures remains unclear. Whether it is a problem specific to ASRock mainboards or whether other factors play a role requires further investigation. Affected users should contact the respective customer support and share their experiences in order to identify possible patterns and find solutions.
It remains to be seen whether further cases will become known and whether official bodies will initiate appropriate investigations. Until then, caution is advised, especially when combining Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors with ASRock mainboards.
