Every time a new processor is launched, it is normal that we find a large number of users who comment positive things about it, just as there are some who indicate certain problems that their new configurations have, although surely the one that this Reddit user has had It is the worst we can imagine. In this case, we have been able to see how this person has uploaded a series of photos of his new combination of the new processor 9800X3D along with one of the latest motherboards from MSIboth completely destroyed by what appears to be, a problem with its socket.
One of the biggest fears we can have when building a computer is the fact that it will not work, and obviously investing a large amount of money so that we cannot use it later is something that no one wants to go through. There are many failures that can lead to a computer not turning on, but surely the worst that we can find is that a component burns out, since it not only affects the piece of hardware itself, but can also end up breaking other pieces, and In this case, both the processor and the motherboard of this user have not had much luck.
A user detects problems with his processor and finds that the socket is burned
It’s been almost a week since the processors Ryzen 7 9800X3D were launched on the market, in such a short period of time we may think that there should not be any problem, but far from being the case, there are already users who have reported cases in which the processor has burned out. In this case, the Reddit user TrumpPooPoosPants has shown images of how the combination of his new processor 9800X3D together with the motherboard MSI Tomahawk X870 has had a fateful result, since both have been rendered useless by having burned full.
To find out what the failure could have been, the user who had this problem consulted this social network to find out what happened, to which several users responded that the problem may be related to a defect in the socket. of the motherboard, since in the images you can distinguish that there is one of the parts that cover the socket that is bent, which would cause the CPU to not be positioned correctly.
In this case, it is indicated that this is not a single isolated incident, since apparently another user has reported a similar error in the MSI forums in which the code “00” appears, although it does not specify that he has reviewed the hardware to check if both the socket and the CPU are burned. On the other hand, it is not ruled out that the problem could be in the processor configuration itself, it would not be the first time that we see a failure that allows said component to request more energy than it should, something that happened in 2023 with the Ryzen 7000 and that also happened with the 13th and 14th generation Intel processors.
