I'm in the process of building a new desktop PC and I've got my heart set on using a Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with an RX 9070 XT, all running on the MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX motherboard. While I've traditionally opted for Intel processors, I've decided to make the switch after looking into gaming benchmarks. However, a friend of mine raised a concern that the motherboard might damage the CPU. I'm not too well-versed in this area and would love to get some advice on whether there's any truth to this.

Just to clarify, damage is a concern, but it’s rare for motherboards to completely burn out CPUs. You might want to keep an eye on your BIOS version and ensure it's updated, as that can help prevent any potential issues.
I wouldn't worry too much about MSI motherboards burning out your CPU. The issues tend to be more prevalent with ASRock boards, so you should be safe with the setup you have in mind.
