Which motherboard was your 9800X3D used on?
I haven't RMA'd with OcUK so can't help on that front, sorry.

I RMA'd and gpu with OCUK had the replacement in 3 days.
Are you sending the board back ? If not I really would try some of the settings from the vid I posted here
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
what happens if you use AMD auto overclock? https://ibb.co/FqBdGyr5 To be honest, I've never really trusted those things so never tried. Happy to try in the name of science...

Having says that I hope I am not in your position in the future. Currently 10 months down and no issues at all, did yours show any oddities before dying ?
Odd how it managed a whole year.

I did send only cpu to rma, as ive checked my system with other 9800x3d and it booted instantly (borrowed from mates pc, which has nova motherboard too). It was working fine whole year. No crashes booted every time. Was playing Enshrouded, game froze and thats it. Cpu is clean, i didnt spot any burnmarks, socket is prestine. I have custom loop (3x360 rads) so temp was never an issue. I have sensor panel, and im constantly monitoring temps, frequency, voltages etc. Soc was solid 1.2v (after last bios update). So the death of cpu was a shocker to be honest. Ive checked and i had it for 13months. My previous cpu 3900x still running in htpc after so many years and i really never had to worry about it, even after warranty expired. With this one i have odd feelings. Do we expect the hardware work more than 2-3 years these days? Not sure if we do.
A CPU should last until obsolete (at least a decade). If it doesn't, they're doing something wrong. Which it appears Intel have done (with the 13th-14th gen) and whatever the heck these asrock boards are doing differently.
My 10 year old 5820k is still going in my brothers system. He uses it daily for general pc stuff and light gaming (rx580, so less demanding/older games). My x4 955 that was overclocked for years is still going in my dads pc (just an office machine). I'd expect no less from any new cpu I buy.
One pc in my household still rocking x5670 xeon @x58 chipset motherboard and thats a very old system
A lot of Core 2/Core Quad systems are still fine 20 years later where they are still being used, and generally it is the RAM or motherboard which gives out before the CPU itself.
When I was keeping up with the AsRock subreddit some die after a few weeks/months some it takes a year and its down to people just trying to switch on the computer and it never switches on and they get the CPU light, others is when they try and wake the PC up from a sleep which is what a few thought was the thing that was killing the CPU but that could not be replicated, others get a slower more degradation Intel type issue where they get some crashes/system instability then the CPU just dies.
AMD and ASRock have said next to nothing on what the issue is, what the out of warranty plans are and seem content that people have a dead CPU, get an RMA and put it back into a motherboard that may kill their replacement CPU in which they are a few reports on the AsRock subreddit of the same board killing multiple CPUs.
Second CPU dead
Welp, I've officially lost 2 CPU's because of the ASRock issue. Specs: 9800X3D (CF 2511PGE) X870 Riptide WiFi G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB...

People are advising that people dont buy ASRock AM5 boards or to ditch the killer board when the RMA CPU arrives though its not getting the reach to people it should be which is intresting as theres so many similarities to Intel but I guess it doesnt get the same amount of clicks and engagement.

Yeah I check the subreddit daily. If mine goes I will replace the board in a heartbeat, but so far so is well so I can't really just change it without a lot of hassle. I still maintain it probably with trying some of the mitigations in that video just in case.

Does this issue seem to be mainly an Asrock and 9800x3d combination..?
Has anyone noticed CPU's other than the x3d variant being fried.?
Also, could it be any Asrock within the X870 range.? Assuming that the B versions are so far known to be good ?
Thanks........Good luck as well ..!

Any CPU's friend with my board PG Riptide B650E?
even 600 series are affected, its mainly X3D but not exclusive, probably because they are so popular. Riptide boards seem the worse but on 800 chipsets

hmmm looks like I'll stick with the 7700...
I wonder if get money back for product not fit for purpose?

Ignoring Asrock would seem to be the way then.
I did, quite some time back though, watch a YT video noting other board makers has very few fried CPU's associated with them, from the AM5 range.
Yeah it is mainly ASrock but it isn't exclusive, I think from reading its about 80% Asrock (rough guess)
Did it damage your socket too?
