Some Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs are dying unexpectedly, mostly on Asrock motherboards – is user error to blame?

Agreed, let's focus on Ngreedya, as every market they touch is turned into ashes.

So what you are saying is they are kinda like these 9800X3Ds

Tell me you don't like AMD, without telling me you don't like AMD.

Do you think? Lol

TLDR: their investigation found user error in cpu installation.

Recommendation: install on a flat surface. Take your time. After cpu is in the socket, apply a very gentle nudge to ensure it's correctly seated within the guides. Close the socket latch gently.

That could be a problem most people hang the motherboard on a wall put the CPU in the installation slingshot, fire the CPU and slam the latch shut as soon as it impacts.
