ASRock issues longer warranty amid failing CPU controversy — but only in Japan
ASRock has extended warranties for select motherboard models in Japan from two to three years, likely in response to reports of AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor failures. The issue, affecting around 300 systems, has been associated with ASRock motherboards, although failures have also been reported on boards from other vendors. ASRock's warranty extension only applies to specific motherboard series in Japan and requires registration with ASRock's Fan Club. While ASRock has made statements about the failures, no direct link to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D issues has been established.
