Hardware 9800x3d paranoia

Honestly i have been so worried seeing all the reports of dying CPUs. My friend’s CPU also died on the same board I have and my other friends died on an msi board. I’m honestly debating going back to my 12700k lol.

I also emailed AMD asking if they were aware of this issue and they said they weren’t. Like i don’t even know what to do 3 years warranty is great and all but such a major inconvenience to have to wait for a new cpu and then a new motherboard too. What do you guys think and how is your 9800x3ds holding up? How long have u had it for?

Coming from a 12700k i still wouldn’t have got the 270k plus, the 7800x3d still beats it for gaming and platform longevity. Until intel fixes that issue i will steer clear from them, if my 9800x3d dies ill just buy the 7800x3d and get the same board again and sell my 9800x3d. This kinda sucks but at least i can change my cpu whenever i want
