PC Building

Just built a 9800X3D PC – Is it safe to to undervolt/OC with recent issues?

Hey guys, just finished my first PC build with a 9800X3D and was thinking about trying a bit of undervolting or light OC

But with all the stuff going around about these chips burning out, I’m kinda nervous. Do we know if undervolting or overclocking might be related? If something happens, would warranty still cover it? Or should I just leave it all stock for now?

Here’s the main stuff in my build:

  • Ryzen 7 9800X3D

  • MSI X670E Gaming Plus WiFi

  • 32GB DDR5 6400MHz CL32

  • RX 9070 XT

  • Be Quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W Gold

  • Corsair Nautilus 360 AIO

Would really appreciate any advice. still new to all this and I don’t wanna mess things up.

Recent issues?

 

Make sure you have latest non-beta bios and you should be good.

 

Warranty void: read the terms, I don't remember but if you have any trouble on problems before you send it to repair, remove motherboard battery to remove any data from the motherboard.

 

But I guess you shouldn't face any issues.

 

Easiest way to undervolt is to use the BIOS setting Curve Optimizer. Per Core setting, set around -20 and -30. Your system will be unstable if you make it too low. CS2 for example instantly gives WHEA error reports about stability, but you should use Prime95 to see L3 cache errors popping up.
