ASUS immediately launches investigation into the "death" of a pair of Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs in its new motherboards

ASUS has officially announced the start of an "immediate internal review" of its 800-series motherboards (X870, X870E, B850) following a series of reports about failures of AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors. The situation resembles last year's problems with ASRock, but now even premium ASUS models like the ROG Strix X870E-E and ROG Crosshair have found themselves at the center of the scandal.

At the moment, we have no information about the causes of the processor failures, but there is a high probability that we are seeing a repeat of the story with excessively high voltages.
