That’s a bummer that it failed on you.

I’ve been wondering if it would be worth it to replace my 3700x with a 5800x3d but I’m not sure the modest performance improvement would be worth the price.

The only hardware issues I’ve ever had were due to poor thermal management.

If you want hardware longevity, use a high quality PSU, don’t overclock, provide excessive cooling (so that several years from now, when you neglect your system and its full of dust, you’ll still be OK).

My ryzen 7 3700x is several years old now. It was a little finicky with what memory it liked but since working that out, it’s been great. No complaints. I expect this system to last me at least another 5 years.
