«While looking at a series today, my PC went out. It didn't take me for a long time to guilty. It is a 9800x3D and a Nova X870E. All bought and assembled in the last month. It has been working without problems, no high temperatures were recorded at any time. I keep Hwmonitor open usually and especially with new compilations. (…)
In case it serves something, it has been working without problems for 20 days! No, I would also be worried, but let's be realistic about it; There is likely to be a handful of people like me and a lot of people who do not publish their systems working perfectly stable. To put it in another way, I think I had bad luck. In fact, I hope it is because that means that I am not to blame and I hope to recover all this.

The motherboard had the BIOS 3.16which is not the newest published by Asrock, although this should not be the cause of the failure.
This is not the first time we see an Ryzen 7 9800x3D processor burning, although, fortunately, the cases are very few to really be a generalized concern.
What could have caused this failure? It is not clear, but perhaps he only had “bad luck” with a processor or a defective motherboard. We will keep you aware of all the news.
