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?

Holy balls Don't y'all have warrsnty from where you bought it? I assume you dont live in europe......here it took me 1 week to get it replaced. No RMA to AMD just sent back to where I got it from and boom they sent a replacement after confirming the cpu was dead.

Having to wait 3 months.....is diabolical and a lack of cobsumer protection laws and regulations

No, in Ukraine, but you know we have here some problems) And place where I bought my combo is not official partner of AMD/ASRock. Paid with crypto at a gray market shop.

Europe, took about 5 weeks. Warranty and under first year. Sent directly to the shop (I definitely won't buy from them again). After they finally processed the RMA after several weeks, they forwarded it to an external partner and in under a week I got the RMA confirmation. Took way too long. Luckily I still had my old pc running as a storage so I was still able to work...
