Two Dead 9800X3Ds, what on earth is happening?
I received one of the first batch of 9800X3Ds back on release day and after a week of usage it died. Refused to post. I tried a different board, RAM, and even PSU.
Used a replacement 7600X while AMD processed my RMA which took 7 weeks (shocking in itself). System worked without a single issue.
Received my replacement 9800X3D approximately one week ago. It's dead again today, system refuses to post.
Using an ASRock X870 Pro RS WiFi. Awaiting a replacement 7800X3D to arrive tomorrow so I can RMA again. No manual overclocking or modifications took place.
Either it's some seriously bad luck and terrible quality control at AMD or ASRock boards are killing 9800X3Ds specifically.
Not looking forward to another couple of months waiting and the possibility for this to happen for a third time.
