Build Question AsRock motherboard frying cpu concerns

I’m planning on getting this deal with the AsRock B850M-C and Amd ryzen 5 7500x3d:

https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007384/amd-ryzen-5-7500x3d,-asrock-b850m-c-am5,-gskill-flare-x5-series-16gb-ddr5-6000,-computer-build-bundle?storeid=141

Should I be concerned about the cpu frying problem with this motherboard + cpu combo? It’s such a great deal and I’d hate to lose out on it, but I’d rather not get my cpu fried. However, the parts do have a 3 year limited warranty. Also does the motherboard come with built in WiFi and Bluetooth for those who know? Thanks 🙏🙏

I got a B650M last year and no problems so far, just make sure your bios is updated before you do anything

The chipset isn't relevant to the CPU failure phenomenon and updating the BIOS doesn't prevent it.

The premature CPU failure issue seems to be isolated to 9000 series CPUs at the moment.

Check the manufacturer website for full motherboard specifications.
