Probably a bad motherboard then. CPUs generally don’t just die, unless there’s some kind of excess voltage or something. If you weren’t aggressively overclocking, that sounds like the mobo isn’t doing a great job at controlling voltage. It could also be a bad PSU, the CPU is the last thing I’d suspect on the second failure.

Ah ha ha. I had my second ryzen die yesterday in a row. No load, no overclocking, just in the middle of coding. Fack AMD and fack Intel. I’m gonna go buy a Mac Mini.

Boards are different, Asus and Asrock, power supplies cheap Zalman and expensive DeepCool. It doesn’t matter. It’s not supposed to happen! And it has never happened before, until they started making some wild voltage controls.

CPUs don’t die very often without something being very wrong with your system.
Could be the PSU or motherboard

It just happens, it’s a lottery

Most likely your motherboard. Asus and ASRock have been fucking up recently.

Those M chips ARE pretty amazing.
