Because of the country I live in, it's impossible for me to buy a Bonnell 775 MX. Nevertheless, I can buy the X1 Pro Gen 4 motor and source most parts locally.

One part I'm having trouble settling on is the frame. I'm inspired in the Bonnell 775 MX, so I'm looking for something similar that is also robust enough to withstand the forces of the CYC X1 Pro motor.

So far, I've seen this frame as a cheap option for only 400 USD: https://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_STOR20.cgi?Action=Details&ProdID=3763

Frame looks good to me, but the geometries don't seem close to that of the Bonnell and I'm not so sure about it's integrity as I would be using it mainly for offroading.

What frame would you guys chose or where can I look for cheap durable frames?

Hey folks,

good news, AMD's RMA process is absolutely golden. I live in South America and they were pretty quick in sending a courier to pick up the dead 9800X3D, getting it to the States for testing and sending one back. All in all it took about a month which is not bad considering the distances involved.

Anyway, with the brand new 9800X3D in my possession, I'm looking for a new motherboard for it and I'm 100% set on getting the one with the lowest chance of getting it killed (specially considering I'll have a little over a year of warranty on this new CPU).

I think I saw some bar charts with number of dead 9800X3Ds for each motherboard either in a YouTube video or here on reddit. Anyone has any data to help my decission?

Btw, mine was running on a B850-Plus Wifi from ASUS.
