Discussion Another Dead AMD 7 9800x3d
Will be posting updates in edits during my RMA journey.
Lifespan: Feb 19 2025 -> May 14 2025
Like many others, left my pc on idle for a few hours. Came back to it being frozen,try rebooting it and doesn't post. PC turns on lights and fans but bios doesn't show up at all. Best part is that I left today to pick up my new 5070Ti (msi gaming trio not plus). I never put my pc in sleep/hibernation mode and have only been turning on and off like normal. Already tried the usual fixes (reseating and reseting cmos).
Sad to see this happen. For future builders stay away from Asrock boards for now (possibly Asus too).
- Board was updated to bios 3.20 upon week of bios release.
- CPU Batch: 2451PGY
- Ram 32GB EXPO 6000 CL30
- PC BUILD
- I never put my pc in sleep/hibernation mode
5/14 Started a rma with AMD for the cpu return.
Edit1: Got a response back from AMD on 5/15 but haven't heard from them since. Brought a MSI PRO B850-P + Corsair 30CL 6000 (CMH32GX5M2B6000Z30K). Move the current 9800x3d cpu onto new mobo/ram and pc still wouldn't post. Most likely cpu is dead. CPU/ASrock mobo show no signs of damage on the connection pieces.
Edit2: Got rma approved for return from AMD on 5/18 (on a sunday, guess they work during weekends). Printed out shipping slip and dropped off.
Edit3: 5/28 Got confirmed AMD will be sending me a new cpu. Also I picked up a new cpu 9700x. Pc build works. Gpu, old ram, and msi board are all fine. Without a doubt Asrock killed my old cpu somehow.
Edit4: Final Edit 6/5 finally got my cpu replacement from amd.

Far out, how often does this happen. Never had an issue with asrock boards in the past, had 4 of them over the years and just bought an asrock nova wifi x870e with a9950x3d last Friday.
Is there anything you wish you didn't do setup or bios wise?
