9800X3D Failures - Tom's Hardware

Well hardware for the Q1 of 2025 is just sort of meh...... I am glad I got all my upgrades done this past summer and my brother's before Christmas.

I mean it was only a matter of time with AMD leaving tunability up to the end user and people probably pushing them harder than they should on top of certain bios likely not accurately reporting voltages.

X3D has always been janky imo. While it is nice they provide an uplift in games, and certain tasks, I do not agree with how they market it. Either make them all with the cache, or none..

Its been a cool experiment though, but erryone wants to be hardcore, and copy settings they know nothing about.

The crazy thing is they are all crazy fast out of the box needing a negative CO at most but my guess is a lot of intel only users who love to see all the cores fixed at 5.4-5.5 switched teams and killed their shit.... I have no evidence of this ofc but anyone buying an 500 usd 8 core is likely an enthusiast who thinks they know better.

I fully expected you to buy one and kill it I am sorta disappointed lmao.

Nope, these things command respect, and current limiting lol

This CPU is great for MSFS 2020.. it totally reams my 58X3D, and curb stomps my 5900X.

This is garbage bait sites

Problems with AsRock bottom end boards with top end AMD-X3D that needs a good power grid isn't news. (IMO)

Please fix your title.

#1 check your sources first - both are massive clickbaits.

100% clickbait new user to computers
https://www.reddit.com/r/ASRock/comments/1iu4d4m/_/mdwlc2r from tomsgarbageclickbaitnewssite https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-com...ority-may-be-happening-on-asrock-motherboards

Brand new build - mobo is an ASRock x870 Pro RS. Picked up the 9800x3d from BestBuy. Using TeamGroup CL30 - 6000 RAM. Got everything to boot up fine at first, got Windows 11 installed successfully. Proceeded to reboot the machine because I wanted to get into the BIOS to check some stuff, and since then I can't get the system to POST.

This is an user error. Only an user error. I doubt the 9800X3d has a much better memmory controller as my ryzen 7600X. Cheap mainboards vs my cheap mainboard.

Stopped reading. checked last part of that reddit post

UPDATE: Well, I wanted to say thanks to everyone here who threw suggestions out there. What a bizarre issue! I took the advice of flashing the bios back, and it looks like that did that trick. The 9800 is not dead "yet". I am currently staring at the BIOS screen as I am typing this update. I also did quite a bit more though (unsure if this helped at all). I completely took apart my system: removed everything including the CPU. I flashed the board back to 3.11, and then put everything back together. Installed new thermal paste and all. Just not sure where to go from here if I'm being honest?

edit: It is unclear if the user flashed the mainboard with a faulty version with unstable settings. Or if the board came with an unstable version.
An user error which was easily fixed by an uefi update for the mainboard. With overclocking DRAM which are not officially supported on that platform afaik.

I dunno mate, I've had a 7800X3D for over 7 months now. Absolutely 0 issues. Not even a single BSOD.

Same thing happened 2 years ago with the 7800X3D, and afaik it was fixed with a BIOS update.

DirtyDingusMcgee · 2025-02-25T02:01:56+0000

Improper tuning or (even worse) using the motherboard auto-tuning......either way, giving the cpu way too much juice, and the x3d chips are very sensitive (and always have been).

To me Redditor = Someone that doesn't know what they are doing.

I think its dumb having a CPU marketed just for gaming.

Well first off it's not "just for gaming", and you do realize that gaming and watching pr0n is all that many people do on their computers

Average Joe type guys I suppose.

I do have an X3D chip, but really all its good for is like 1080p games.

Edit:

Before I get ripped a new one, its first gen X3D.. pretty boring.

That's me, static OC

. But I know better not to push the voltage though.

freeagent · 2025-02-25T02:57:07+0000

I just use tuned PBO. I slammed my 5900X with 300w a few times with static clocks and voltage.. that was an oops..

Best to wait like 6 months after bios updates resolve certain issues...

Must be the same people that don’t know how to plug in a GPU ;^)

Dorek · 2025-02-25T03:20:13+0000

To be fair its not user error for me since the mobo hates my qvl rams and only booted after quite a few tries, but has become more reliable after bios updates.
