Days after its launch, one of the first users who had the opportunity to get this new processor before the initial stock was exhausted, said through Reddit that the Ryzen 7 9800x3D combination and the plate MSI Tomahawk X870 It was not good, since both the processor and the socket showed burned areas.
What could initially indicate a design problem or a failure of that processor or that concrete plate, it was quickly ruled out since certain parts of the socket were folded, which means that the CPU It had not been correctly put from the beginning.
More Ryzen 7 9800x3d burned
As we can see through Videcardz, in Reddit a new case of another user who has seen as both the processor and the motherboard have been burned.
In this case, it is not a MSI motherboard, but of Asus, specifically the model Asrock Nova X870E with the version of the BIOS that came from the factory. Although shortly after Asus launched a new version, this user continued to use it with which he bought it.
According to the user, the team stopped working after 20 days of use without any apparent problem. Since it set up the team, it has been monitoring its operation through the Hwmonitor application.
The team went out while the user saw a series, so he was not doing any demanding task for the processor that would have caused a considerable increase in the temperature that the dissipation system could not solve.
The only component with OC was the AMD Expo memory. He has not modified the configuration of the BIOS to modify the voltages or anything similar since, although he always sets his own teams, he does not like to do overclock precisely to avoid this type of problem.
This user does not offer additional information about which the refrigeration system Used, probably because, they claim, the processor temperature has not been the problem.
T0PLI, the protagonist of this thread affirms that he bought both the processor and the motherboard in different establishments. As they claim, the processor has already returned it to the local store to investigate which one could have been the origin of the problem, if it is its fault or if it is a defective unit in order to be able to process the guarantee.
In the publication comments, many users speculate that the origin of the problem could be in the X870 chip of the motherboards, something very unlikely since this type of burning problems can be counted on the fingers of one hand and still left over us fingers. In fact, the first case, as we have commented above, was due to a bad installation, not a problem related to the X870 MSI plate.
