It has, at least for me I'm running pbo of - 30 and 1.18 on soc

Yeah, punched in these settings today, despite mine running fine for 4 months now, I figure lower settings can't be bad so will see how it goes.

Always update the BIOS. Always.
Ok maybe not always but Asrock have lied twice about fixing the issue so I’d suggest you update the BIOS and keep it updated.
Same
Afaik its now a thing of the past with the latest firmware, mine has been solid on 3.30 and a -30 pbo

Can you post information on blowing 9800x3D's since update 3.30 with owners using 3.30 and not attempting to overclocker or go mental in their Bios?

But aren't those all from around four months ago from people using 9800X3D's on old Bios.
This is likely due to there not being any issues since the updates. There were very few actual confirmed cases compared to the number that were running fine.

Well too late for some of us who bought the board.
Maybe we just need to avoid 9800X3D processors and 5080/5090 GPU's. Though it seems many with all models of Asrock are complaining with various processors.
But you can't blame many of us for wanting a motherboard that allowed us to use the features it had.
I mean honestly, I used Asus ROG for decades, but when I seen the absolute butchering of the PCI lanes I thought you got to be taking the **** charging full price for a motherboard developed by a monkey that gimps you so hard on what you can connect! When I looked at MSI, all I seen was people complaining about the PCI lane slowdowns. It seems no matter what motherboard you look at, gimped PCIe lanes, or faults, or repeated bios updates to resolve issues, and bad RMA experiences.
Now I have to live with a £400 motherboard and worry about future CPU upgrades, or buy a gimped board and slap £600 of NVMe on a shelf.
Hopefully it will last into next year and maybe next year some adults will take over the CPU/GPU/Motherboard production and engineering.

Its still an issue although it has been mitigated somewhat, if it was me buying again I would probably go MSI as they have reasonable lane sharing however I have had no issues with my Nova since I built it in Feb and have enabled expo, dropped VSOC manually to 1.18v and dropped another value by -50mv can't remember what its called but the video posted in this thread explains it.
Asrock are still investigating with AMD, I suspect both parties are somewhat at fault. By the way I don't think this is as isolated to Asrock as we are led to believe, just take a look at this one thread
many others in here in the comments with broken CPU's on ASUS boards
