Most likely it's the motherboard. ASRock is getting nailed right now for unstable XMP and CPU voltages (it's recommended to undervolt a little just in case).
The Asus Prime B650M motherboards they are using aren't exactly high end.

- J_Shelby_J 1y agoMy friend just had an ASRock board cook his AMD CPU. Apparently a very common problem.
- wmf 1y agoYikes, this is the cheapest motherboard and failed Hardware Unboxed VRM tests. https://youtu.be/DTFUa60ozKY?t=744 https://youtu.be/DTFUa60ozKY?t=744
- caycep 1y agoconversely the asrocks actually did pretty good in that test...
- aidenn0 1y agoCan you link to a reputable source for what settings I should use on my asrock motherboard? I'd like to avoid this.
- FuriouslyAdrift 1y agoNo more than 1.2 volts on vsoc... but YMMV. "According to new details from Tech Yes City, the problem stems from the amperage (current) supplied to the processor under AMD's PBO technology. Precision Boost Overdrive employs an algorithm that dynamically adjusts clock speeds for peak performance, based on factors like temperature, power, current, and workload. The issue is reportedly confined to ASRock's high-end and mid-range boards, as they were tuned far too aggressively for Ryzen 9000 CPUs." https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/asrock-attributes-premature-ryzen-9000-cpu-failures-to-aggressive-pbo-settings-per-youtuber https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/asrock-attri...
