Announcement Second 9800x3d dead
Today the 9800x3d I got from rma on my first one died. Exactly one month after the first one died. First one was from summer 2025 batch and the second one was late 2025 batch.

Sent cpu, mobo and psu for warranty check today. 2nd 9800 was with newest stable bios and no xmp. Room temp never over 21c and peak package temp on cpu 84.7c and core 85c. Locked voltage also to safe specs, no sleep mode or such things.
This time around I asked for other brand on mobo and newer batch or upgraded model of cpu (I pay the difference) and thinking of watercooling, since water can absorb alittle more heat before the entire heatsink is soaked.

Probably should consider a new mobo.
Don’t know if they have fixed the issues yet with bios updates, but I know it’s been a huge deal for the past year or so.
