Originally Published 1 year ago — by OC3D
Two AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs have burned out while installed on MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK motherboards, with both incidents reported on the Quazarzone forums. MSI is investigating the issue, which they have so far only replicated with improperly installed CPUs. The problem may be due to deformed CPU sockets or incorrect installation, and it is unclear if this is a widespread issue or limited to a specific batch of motherboards.
