Perhaps some of you have noticed this: There have been recent reports of an incident involving a Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor. A Reddit user reported in the PC Master Race (PCMR) community that both his CPU and the AM5 socket on his MSI Tomahawk X870 motherboard were damaged and burned. This was the first known case of this kind with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with this motherboard and attracted a lot of attention and questions.

The findings so far strongly suggest that it could be a human error that led to these damaged parts. Apparently, the CPU was misaligned during installation. According to this, the user probably tried to insert the CPU vertically into the AM5 socket, simply ignoring the triangular marking. This is a clear indication of improper handling and the resulting human error that led to this problem.

Now the company MSI is also speaking out, as the case has probably also caught their attention. Accordingly, MSI has now announced in an official press release that it will clarify the incident together with GamerNexus and AMD through an independent investigation and provide more clarity on this issue.
Recently, we received a user report indicating damage to an AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D processor on an MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard. At MSI, we are fully committed to the quality of our products and have begun investigating this incident. Additionally, we are working closely with AMD and are in contact with GamersNexus, which is independently investigating this incident.
Even if it appears to be an installation error due to human error, it remains to be seen what the outcome of this investigation will be. The user concerned has also sent the damaged parts to GamerNexus so that a detailed investigation can be carried out. We are curious to see what the result of this investigation will be and whether there is more to it than many others suspect.
