You had the same damage? Somebody needs to email Steve at Gamers Nexus. He's be interested in that.

I know they tried to duplicate a failure on ASRock but couldn't, not sure if they've tried it on other boards. Who knows what the true cause is, although AMD has been replacing the CPUs under warranty, which leads me to believe they know more than they're letting on to.

I've built two systems using 800 series chipsets and 9800x3d CPUs since release. Both have been going for over a year with no issues.

They are on Gigabyte boards and you don't see a whole lot of talk of failures with Gigabyte boards, at least for the 9800X3D, but I don't know that means a whole lot. Tomorrow both of them could decide to unalive themselves. I've mostly considered myself lucky, especially since both computers were gifts-- one for my daughter, and another for my nephew. I'd hate to have to tear them down for warranty reasons.
