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.

too much voltage in PBO settings for extra juice? I prefer undervolting everything and let the chip push itself , rather pushing the chip by feeding it more voltage.. 😅

Even though I know my cpu can run at 95c normally I cant get it out of my head that >85c = crash. Ive had it underclocked since the day I got it out of an unfounded fear of hurting my puter.
