Is this some CPUs died out of millions sold or is it more than that? I bought a 9800X3D to kill on an Asrock board about 6 months ago now, still trying to kill it, I've tried 3 boards and every BIOS. I've recorded most of it so we might make a video at some point. I've also been speaking with retailers and distributors and none of them are reporting a high failure rate for these CPUs, basically they tell me everything looks normal, if anything fewer than expected are returned for warranty issues. Anyway I'll keep trying to kill my retail 9800X3D...

@HardwareUnboxed This person claims to have found the issue and an AGESA version that is safe youtu.be/UUzvLLoB6o0

@java_monkey I've done extensive testing on this and have failed to trigger the issue. Not saying he is wrong, just saying I can't replicate it.

@java_monkey @HardwareUnboxed That video doesn't make any sense, and lots of people have encountered failures on his "safe" AGESA version anyway.
