level1tech watching three ASROCK AM5 mobos like a hawk!

That's not something I want to deal with. I'm not someone who can shrug off the death of someone or something (animate or inanimate). I would already be using it if that were not an issue for me.

But it's still extremely troubling to me that AMD won't do anything about this mess of a situation. It's like ASROCK tried to be smart and succeeded in making a long term deal with AMD, much to their chagrin and in retaliation, AMD held off some important bits of information and now telling them, RTFM!

Its already dead to you. Owning it and not using it is doing you zero good. So I say flip it or rip it. IE sell it or use it. Otherwise it just represents something you're not using or something you're afraid to use either way your owning it but getting nothing out of it.

Your melodrama is funny. Sell the AM5 combo, buy a 270k+ and stop the pearl clutching already.

Yeah, if your priority isn't gaming... hell, the raw performance on tap is enough for me to consider it as a lightweight workstation/server... I wonder if LGA1700 waterblocks work on LGA1851?
 
Go home ASRock, you're drunk.

I would test the 285K in another board, or send it to a friend who could. It may be fine, and the board's firmware is the issue.
 
I don't find it that infeasible that Intel's tile architecture couldn't be more vulnerable than monolithic designs to excesses in voltage, heat, current etc., the same way AMDs X3D SKUs have proven to be.

First desktop iteration and all that, Intel might have to design in a little more margin for error.

logic is flawed. Raptor Lake is monolithic, and there has never been a more vulnerable CPU generation to "excesses in voltage, heat, current etc."

But it was basically Alder Lake with a little more cache and... Alder Lake didn't have that problem.

I mean we could also just say that it's a new Intel 'trend' too, right?

12th gen didn't go as bananas with voltage scaling and clocks.

Why would you say that LOL? This could be a case of the board being the issue. We don't even know if the 285K is dead for certain. And we should always start with PICNIC. A dude on a forum called Overclock may have a dead CPU. He is the prime suspect ala Occam's razor. It requires only elementary my dear Watson levels of deductive reasoning. ASRock is the next suspect as they have admitted to the trouble with AM5 being in house.
