Second 9800x3d died.
Maybe it was my fault, i had the chance to return the motherboard (x870 rs pro wifi) and buy from another brand. But after my 9800x3d died for the first time in June i was hoping that the new BIOS would fix everything and i shouldn't had to worry.
I sent both cpu and mobo to RMA in June, amd gave me a brand new processor while asrock guaranteed me that the mobo is fine and with the now up-to-date BIOS (3.25) it would work just fine, everything arrived at my house in less than 20 days.
Now, 2 and a half months later, my 9800x3d died again exactly how the first one died, it lasted exactly the same time the first one lasted, and now I'm living in another continent (just moved from Spain to Brazil) so RMA will not be easy.
I don't know if I will be able to send it at all, so worst case scenario i need to buy a brand new MOBO and CPU here. Welp, i'm just making this post to report the issue, I hope there's something I can do to not lose all the money I spent. It's my first time using Asrock in almost 20 years of building PCs, I will never touch it again and will always recommend people to NOT pick Asrock in the future. Never again.
