The Ryzen 9800X3D failure reports appear to be giving a tough competition to Intel's 13th/14th-gen high-end CPUs, which witnessed widespread instability issues. We have already reported numerous Ryzen 9800X3D death reports, which mostly occur on ASRock motherboards, but it appears that the problem might not be just ASRock motherboards, since this time, every death occurred on ASUS motherboards.
The Redditor u/RealisticLoad3327 reports that he owns an internet cafe and purchased 150 Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs earlier this year. He used the ASUS B650M-AYW WiFi motherboard for the systems, which appears to be a decent budget motherboard. His systems reportedly use 850W 80+ Gold PSUs, which in this case are from Huntkey. The PSU is often considered to be pretty bad, so his PSU might be the actual culprit. But still, we have seen that in most cases, this isn't the case.
Out of 150 bought units, he already witnessed the death of the 15th Ryzen 9800X3D CPU. Considering he started deploying those in March, the failure rate is nearly 1.6 CPUs every month. According to the cafe owner, the CPU failed at random intervals, typically every one to two weeks. He says he never had such a "terrible" experience before, which is understandable. The number of death reports of the 9800X3D CPU is staggering and concerning.
