We Exploded the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D & Melted the Motherboard

This video benchmarks and tests various points of failure for the AMD X3D CPUs in particular, but also just generally AM5 / Ryzen 7000 (Zen 4) CPU failures. The most eye-catching failure mode is catastrophic: Users have posted photos of exploded CPUs with blown-out motherboard sockets and melted plastic. We bought those parts from the users to perform a failure analysis, then set forth testing our own AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPUs to see if we could make them explode. Spoiler alert: It worked. We were able to melt new AMD X3D CPUs in the socket of an ASUS X670E Crosshair Hero motherboard, but we also found severe BIOS bugs in Gigabyte's BIOS. SOC voltage isn't the only concern, here. It's also poor OCP implementation on at least the ASUS board we used, plus a combination of the erosion of thermal and over-current protections. As stated in the video, no test of this type is fully conclusive: These are complex issues with functionally infinite variables between users (and possible error), manufacturers, BIOS versions, and AMD itself. As such, we can only speak to our findings in some instances -- but we have some that do point to specific issues.
We killed 2x 7800X3Ds and 1x ASUS motherboard, but we also had 2 failed CPUs and 1 failed board from viewers.

That’s why AMD is cheaper than intel in a lot of ways.
I remember buying an Athlon 64 FX and it not having thermal protection. Long before motherboards offered it and Intel had it onboard. Shit myself that this thing would catch fire. It used to seriously cook in gaming….could smell it!
Nothing has changed even 20 years down the road AMD is still the poor man’s gaming platform, nothing but issues with games on all forums are AMD CPU (underperforming) and GPUs crashing related.
If you want rock solid stability across your thousands of games…
