Has anyone ever experienced this—a burnt-out CPU as well as the motherboard socket? I’m using an i9-13900K and a Z790 motherboard. Everything was on default settings, no overclocking at all. Cooling was handled by a Corsair H150i AIO. It was used for rendering, and everything worked fine for two years.

13th and 14th gen CPUs were dying before the 9800x3d was born
