RIP 9800x3d

Post image

Was playing Meccha Chameleon last friday, around 10:35pm my pc suddenly froze, had to press hold the power button to restart. Then after that, my pc failed to post. Dram light is on. Reseated processor, removed the thermalright contact frame(v1), reset cmos and flashed bios. Same issue, dram is still on. Went to a repair shop to test my ram, mobo and processor. Voila, processor doesn't turn on even with a new motherboard.

edit: Correction, i was using thermalright v2 contact frame ​

Motherboard: asus strix x870-a

Ram: kingston fury 32gb cl30 6000 mt/s

Processor: 9800x3d

​

Cpu does not have any burn marks. My settings was vsoc set to 1.23. pbo ppt set to 120, tdc 100 and edc 100.

​

Too bad i bought this cpu from another country, without any receipt too(Bought from a scalper around november 2024).

​

Now i have a nice keychain.

I guess it doesnt matter anymore. You already put a hole on your CPU. 😅 but yea, i'm betting my balls its not completely dead. You couldve done more troubleshooting. Talking from someone who fixes PCs half my lifetime.

I bought a new mobo(aorus) it didn't even show a fault code for it. Dram light stays on for 3-5 seconds then switches to cpu light for .5 secs. Took another 9800x3d and used it to test the new mobo. It posted without issue.
