As usual the media just runs with it without looking at the images from that reddit user.
It shows that not even GN bothered to click the link and look at the other 2 images, Steve just just saw burnt CPU and went "mine mine mine".

GN has done some good in this space. Youtube has replaced magazines for influence but for me are exactly what you said has become true. I remember when GN would bash Bulldozer and then he would tell you that he is running a 8320 at home. As the years went on we saw all of the big Youtubers in the tech space pickup a word from literature, hubris. Remember the Dual 3090 Live Streams to see who could get the highest 3D Mark score? In the back drop was the worst time to buy GPUs when Nvidia were selling directly to customers with deep pockets and brick and mortar had no GPUs in sight.What is he then, a scientist? A computer or an electronic engineer, a nobel prize? Some kind of a genius kissed by God, who happens to know everything about pc hardware? You can't become an engineer simply visiting an Intel factory. So, don't treat him like one.
Hardware companies treat youtubers well, because they are influencers, they help selling the products. That's why they give them the hardware for free. And with the products come also press data, manuals, spreadsheets and notes. It's the stuff that all the "experts" repeat like parrots in their videos. How come they all do the same battery of tests when it comes to review cpus and gpus? It's just synthetic benchmarks and games. It's because they can't do shit. In the best scenario they know how to edit videos.
Take the 3D industry, they don't know how to test and compare the cpu and the gpus with this kind of softwares. They can only do the PugetBench and the Blender OpenData benchmark.
In this case a complete idiot mounted the cpu in the wrong way, ruining both cpu and mobo, but for the youtubers this is gold: it's an argument for one or more videos, something to talk about, something that deserves a post on their socials too. It's clicks.
The marketing guys at MSI should have closed this already saying: "we'll check the motherboard when it will be sent to us, but from what can be seen in the pictures, it looks like the user made a mistake mounting the cpu". Instead they mention GN, because the computer genius is going to make a video about this. Again, influencers.
He did it, he became the influencer with over 2.3 million subs on yt; You don't, you could have done it with less informative content, but guess what, you haven't done anything.What is he then, a scientist?

Indeed. The CPU, must have been not fully inserted/misaligned. Thus, even people, wchich are technically non-savvy, know, that if there's a bad contact, and even if there's a tiny distance, it will result in an electric arc, which is basicaly an electric welding. Giving the amount of current, these modern motherboards provide, I also wonder, how the socket didn't drip.Why is this news? This should be a rejected RMA for physical damage caused by the idiot customer.
It's blindingly obvious that the edge of the socket was sheared off by the CPU that wasn't in the socket as they mashed the lever down, most likely with an excessive amount of force, and likely with some unmissable cracking/splitting noises. Why would you even power up a system after feeling/hearing that?!
The 9800X3D will draw 140A by default. I can stick weld with just 50A so it's hardly surprising stuff melted and burned...
Exactly. It's a mystery, why the numerous protections didn't work immediately, preventing this from happening, in the first place. Something is wrong here.You can crank everything up to 11 and it still shouldn't cause that kind of damage. The cpu will thermal throttle way before the socket gets anywhere near the amount of power that would damage it or the pins

He is a well informed nerd and reviewer of hardware that saw the journalism part of this industry go to absolute shit. He and his team decided that the journalism part is actually important (surprise!) and deliberately missed a few big paychecks from companies, just so the right message could be sent. They have purchased industry standard testing equipment, asked experts for training on that and published numbers with it. Doesn't mean they are perfect but they are doing more than most are, commendable at the very minimum. What more can you expect from a small team? That they hire a fully certified team for every aspect? Come on...What is he then, a scientist? A computer or an electronic engineer, a nobel prize?

Not really convinced of that myself, though it is certainly possible.That's not burned plastic, that's chewed in plastic from bad alignment and forcing the socket closed.
Sad but true. Written journalism appreciation is dead.Youtubers are much more important to people than writers.
Good journalisn ceased to really pay the bills long ago. I would know having worked this sector. This left many outlets with a choice: sacrifice integrity or starve. No one cares that much about integrity, but clickbait always sells.

Buildzoid might have the right theory - that this guy tried to install the CPU with the motherboard already in the case, and the case upright. Not only were they too lazy to tip the case onto it's side, they were too incompetent to hold the CPU in the socket as they closed the lever.How is that even possible to install like that? There's a fool-proof design, although not idiot-proof one as well.
Hm ...
I take it this "user" who burnt 9800X3D probably did it on the first turn on of his PC.
