Thanks, 2 of my 4 dimms are LPX 3000mhz cl15, but they crashed on their own, too, without the hyperx-s. Yes, it did the same thing when I first booted it up. Then I looked at the bios to see if i could fix the instability with something. Thanks, I found a pair of ripjaws v 3200/16, 2x8GB for $70. It had lots of reviews stating that it works with their am4 cpus. Plus lifetime warranty, and i can go pick it up right now. Thank you for your help. I meant to say that the games wouldn't run on only 1 of my dimms, which are 4GB. A year or two back battlefield 1 got a patch wichh made it require more than 8GB, and I'd rather not take that chance again with bf5. It was a good tip though, thanks.

well thanks, i think i'm gonna have to switch to non-EOL ram. at least try it, since i could return it easily. So i should be looking for samsung b-die, right?

i understand that, but my issue isn't with performance. Cinebench r20 gives me 4060 points. That's on point afaik. Things don't even start up. Time spy, the witcher 3, battlefield 5, forza h4. Amnesia the dark descent managed to start, but i don't care about that game at all.

maybe i should've specified, that this instability was present since the first boot. 3400mhz, 1.2-1.25V. Also, other than p0, all p states are disabled now. From the factory they were all on auto (there's like 8 of them).

All of my games are on the same HDD, which works fine when it comes to file transfers and navigation with file explorer. It has been in use for the past 2 years, was bought brand new and has flawless smart values.

I have tried that too, it just escaped my mind. It didn't help. I would try it with 1 dimm, but I know that both games require at least 8 GB to run

well yes, I knew the 1000s were extremely picky, that's why i got a 2000. There are 4 dimms, 4GB each. 2x2x4 was supposed to mean 2 kits, 2 dimms, 4GB/dimm

I have tried it with a gtx 960 too. The card changed nothing, only the fps for that few minutes while the games ran.

I simply need the extra threads for battlefield 5. With the i7 it allegedly runs at 120 fps, but it feels like 50, with nothing in the background. I would like to listen to youtube videos and record my gameplay as well, which the i7 had no capacity to do.

I would expect stock the stock ddr4 frequency and timing to be stable. It seems illogical to me that it would cause crashes, and only in games. If i had some spare cash I would've gotten a better board. I'd assume that slower RAM wouldn't affect stability. 10 minutes of aida64 (fpu cpu cache ram) resulted in 80 max and 70-77 sustained. In 3dmark time spy 60-65C. 5700xt. I got the chipset drivers from amd, and installed the latest whql driver after a DDU.

I switched from a 7700k to a 2700. Board: asrock b450 gaming k4. Ram: hyperx savage 2133 cl13, corsair lpx 3000 cl15. 2x2x4 GB. PSU: be quiet straight power 650w e11 (80+ gold). I have reinstalled windows. Got the chipset dirvers from the AMD website. The amd specific power plan is set in windows power management. Windows 1909 is installed, and I haven't messed around with it like I usually do. Other than the real time protection being disabled, it's vanilla. RAM is at absolutely stock settings (2133 cl19). (It works at 2766mhz too, which increased cinebench score by 100 points) Cpu is set to 4 ghz 1.35 V. SOC is set to 0.95 V. Max temp after 10 mins of aida64 is 80C, average around 77. During cinebench r20 it tops out at 70, and averages aroud 65. It gives me around ~3950 score. ((Benchmarks run flawlessly, Well cpu benchmarks do run well. The time spy benchmak can't even start now.... I can't play certain games for more than 5 minutes (forza h4 and battlefield 5). The outer worlds runs, but it stutters a lot. Witcher 3 works, so does spore.)) Nothing that has anything to do with directX 12 or 11 runs now... In the best case the window just shuts down. The worst case is a display driver reset. I noticed that the multiplayer games had the worst issues, so instead of the built in Lan card i tried a usb wifi stick, but it didnt help. I have repaired/reinstalled both problematic games 2 times each. I am at my wit's end. I'm playing around with the vcore and soc voltage, though I would be thankful for some advice. Has anyone seen such behavior before?

So the result is practically the same, intel systems should be fine? Im just guessin so far

Most people on the amd subreddit have am4 boards. I know that shouldnt be surprising. People who have no issues rarely specify the rest of their system. I've read about an xt working flawlessly on a threadripper and a few z390 cpus. Ive seen 1 example of 0 problems with a 3600x. It's quite a faint suspicion, im still asking around

I'm suspecting that most issues are on AM4 boards

I didnt think the signals would reach the other mobo. Putting either mobo in harm's way isn't worth it for me, I think I'll get a mixer. Or upgrade to ryzen 3000. Thank you for your input!

Thanks for the info!

I'm curious if this would work, and whether it's dangerous for my speaker or not. I would like to plug a 3.5mm splitter into the speaker input, and connect 2 different sources to it. I have 2 PCs and 1 speaker set, and I would like to get sound from both at the same time, so I could watch youtube from the weaker system while playing games on the other. The secondary monitor doesn't have speakers in it, only a 3.5mm audio out. To be more exhaustive: I have 2 PCs available, one with a 7700k and the other with an fx8320, a 60hz monitor and a 144hz. Basically I want to get youtube's load off from the 7700k system to get a few more frames. Also it's kind of annoying when a 60fps video starts playing on the secondary screen, the game on the primary screen starts to stutter like crazy. I have to alt-tab and set the video quality to 480p. I have solved the issue of sharing the keyboard and mouse, both PCs have internet, now I just need audio from the FX system.

My setup is 7700k 5.0ghz and gtx980 1450mhz. With these I get 120-140 fps at 1080p low dx11, 100% gpu and 60-80% cpu usage. You could set a framerate limit so it doesn't go above your monitor's refresh rate (with RTSS). If your 8700k is at stock clock, you could try overclocking it. RAM speed also seems to matter. Enable xmp if it's not on already. PS: quote people so they see your response! From the bottom left of each comment.

The game might like faster cores than what ryzen has. Did you try dx12 vs dx11? Your gpu should be at 100% usage when any and all framerate limitations are turned off (v-sync, RTSS and ingame).

I'm fairly confident now that the accumulating hot air in the rear top of the case caused the shutdowns. If it might've been the VRMs too, though the MSI z270 gaming pro carbon seems to have good vrm design. A bad connection? I doubt that. Wouldn't that cause some continuous issue? I've removed the braided cable extensions, there might've been something wrong with those? Tho what could go wrong with some wires (which do not have sharp bends). I'll keep a lookout for any shutdowns in a well ventilated case. Thanks for the input guys!

The cpu was running with 1.33-1.36 Vcore. The GPU oc was very conservative, with 110% power limit, +0mV, +100 core and +50 vram. So far it's running fine in the arc midi r2, with the psu having its own intake from outside case. 3000mhz CL16, 4.7ghz 1.25Vcore and the gpu on the same settings I've listed above.

Cpu gets max 75C for 1ms or so on 1 core at a time. The package hovers around 65C in games, and 70C with numerous cinebench runs back2back. It's delidded and a 240 rad cools it. Monitored with afterburner graphs, and OSD. The ram has been running at 3000 CL16 for half a year, and the system's been acting up for the past week or two. Synthetic load doesn't cause shut down. I tried fire strike ultra stress test, cinebench runs and aida64 (everything but disks). I'm gonna try some PUBG, because that seems to be such a random app that it always shines light on unstabilities (it provides varying load while not being perfectly optimized). It has shut down on me while running default settings in the bios, and default GPU clocks, too. That leads me to believe that it's not an OC issue.

Well it's barely 6 months old. I'd be amazed if a be quiet 80+ gold psu would die this quickly.

Can such power loss be caused by overheating the psu? I have a be quiet straight power e11 650w feeding a gtx 980, 7700k, 4*4GB dimms, 1.5 metres rgb led strips, 2 HDDs, an SSD and 8 fans + 1 pump. The back of the psu is around 38-40C when the system shuts off, judging by the touch, I've been running 1445mhz - 5.0ghz - 3000mhz for 2 months, and before that 4.7 ghz. In the past few days my system's been shutting off at certain hard load moments in games. No hang, no freeze, plain old powerloss. I'ce reduced every frequency to base boost clocks (maybe even below). I have an inwin 303 (which has terrible airflow), and I've done everything to direct the air to the rear exhaust fan, above which lays the psu. That means that the warm air from the gpu and cpu radiator is removed from the case about 60% by a Noiseblocker eloop, 20% by the psu and the rest by 2 140mm fans through the "top". I'm transfering the system to a fractal arc midi r2 im order to see if it's something else, or in reality thermal issue with the psu. In the FD the psu has its own intake. The inwin doesn't allow for the psu to be mounted so that it may breath in through the perforated right side panel. Any insights, wise people of the internets?

Alright then, lighten me up please. All I see in shops in my country are cherrys, kailhs (and razers), and unique stuff like the tesoro laser switches. I bet everyone would be thankful to hear which switches are worth their price
