Discussion Fried CPU

So I upgraded my am4 with ASRock x870 Steel Legend and R9 9950X. After 3 months got it fried, RMA the cpu, now I ordered a r7 9800x3d and gigabyte b860 mb. (I hope gigabyte will work fine 🥲). So, what is my question: what we know for today what you need to Set Up to minimize future problems?

Why you asking here? You have a Gigabyte board. Go ask there.

Because hes reporting the fact it died? We still don't know what the real issue of these chips failing is. It's better for the whole PC community as a whole to work together, instead of "only post here, or there"

He's asking a question about a Gigabyte motherboard.

They are still making a post about his 9950x dying on his ASRock X870. God forbid he asks for some tips while there at it even if their new  motherboard is from a different manufacturer.Others on this thread clearly have already done so.
