Anyone have any takes on this? I purchased a new PSU, this time from a more reputable brand (CoolerMaster MWE Gold V2 750W, 80 Plus Gold, Full Modular), and I'm hoping that this issue will subside as soon as I swap it out. But if it remains, what else should I look into? Thanks

Hey guys, I've been having a weird issue for the last week or so. I'm mostly a World of Warcraft player (with a few other single player titles every now and again) and for the last week I've been experiencing random system shutdowns from time to time while playing. It happens while I'm in combat and so that led me to believe it was a GPU issue, but I've ran a few GPU benchmarks and nothing happened, the GPU was stressed to the limit and no shutdowns. I already benchmarked both the CPU and the GPU, but the issue never comes back up, only while playing World of Warcraft and while I'm in combat. Sometimes it happens as soon as I get in combat, and other times a few minutes into it. What weirds me out is that even though the PC turns off, the RGB lights from the RAM sticks remain on. The issues started after I upgraded to a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD (Windows + WoW) and a 500GB SATA Samsung SSD. I checked thermals and everything seems to be in working order, nothing getting past 75c for the whole session. I just set my GPU Power Limit to 80% with MSI Afterburner to check if it may be a PSU related issue. My PC specs are: Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2 (rev 1.x) Ryzen 5 1600X @ stock speed EVGA RTX 2070 Super KO @ stock speed 2x Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3000Mhz Nox Hummer H-240 ARGB Water Cooler Raidmax Cobra Power 80 Plus Gold 800w Modular PSU WD Black SN750 1TB NVMe SSD (with heatsink) Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SATA SSD PCI USB 3.0 HUB 2x Corsair AF120 (White LED only) NZXT S340 Case I also have quite a few peripherals plugged into the PC which draw power: Razer Huntsman v2 Razer Naga Trinity Razer Kiyo Pro Razer Seiren Pro V2 Razer Nari Ultimate Razer Goliathus Extended Chroma Elgato Stream Deck 3 TB Samsung HD 2 TB WD My Passport HD Bluetooth Dongle Can you guys please help me out? Thanks!

Why wouldn't my 1600x play well with 3200Mhz? Should I just try to get everything to 2933 then? I thought that was the sweet spot

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure this topic has been already talked over here, but I just can't seem to find something that actually answers my question. So, this is my desktop: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600x @ 3.95Ghz GPU EVGA 2070 Super KO Gaming MOBO: Gigabyte AB350-Gaming (rev. 1.x) RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB @ 2400Mhz OC to 2666Mhz PSU: EVGA 600W I just got an excellent deal on a 3200Mhz kit of Corsair Vengeance LPX memory and now I don't know if I should just scrap the old memory and just use this new kit or if I can get both kits to work together and end up with 32GB of RAM. I know that Ryzen, specially first gen, can benefit a lot from faster RAM speeds, but is it really that noticeable over just doubling the capacity and keeping it all at, let's say, 2666Mhz? Thanks!

But would that fix the issue with the clock? Would I be able to get both sticks to run at 2400Mhz or maybe even 2666Mhz?

Hey guys, So, last year I built my new PC with the following specs: Mobo: Gigabyte AB350 Gaming CPU: Ryzen 5 1600X GPU: XFX RX 480 PSU: EVGA 600W 80 Plus Bronze RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2400Mhz (2x) Cooler: Corsair H45 WaterCooler SSD/HDD: 1x WD Green M.2 2280 120GB*/ SATA WD Green 2.5" 120GB/ HDD Seagate Data BarraCuda 2TB 7200RPM (2x) Case: NZXT S340 The thing is, I've always noticed that my RAM speed would never go beyond 2133Mhz, even when I enabled XMP (doing this the PC wouldn't even post). Just last night I noticed that each stick has different timings, one of them is at 16-14-16-31 and the other one at 16-16-16-39. Now, I'm pretty sure that's why I can't get the advertised speeds to run and not even overclock it, but is there any way I could fix this different timings through the BIOS, or something else, and then get at least 2400Mhz? Buying a new stick of RAM is not a possibility right now. If the worst case senario happens, how much performance am I losing by having my PC like this and how stable is it? Thanks! *That M.2 drive is exclusively for World of Warcraft, sorry for that.

Still having issues Anyone can help?

Well, I tried enabling XMP again, but this time overvolting a little, to 1.30V, and it still isn't working Is changing the RAM altogether really the only solution?

I tried overvolting the RAM a little, but it crashed right after. I think it was on 1.30V and it didn't even post. So I should change the sticks all together?

Hey guys, So, I just upgraded my old FX8320E to a brand new Ryzen 5 1600X. With it I got a Gigabyte AB350-Gaming and two stick of Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2400Mhz RAM. After a little initial troubleshooting of some constant BSOD, I finally got it all up to speed. Nice. Or so I thought. Even though my RAM sticks are 2400Mhz they just keep runing at 2133Mhz. So I did with any of us would do, went into the BIOS and enabled XMP (Oh, and the first time I also did a little overclocking, but soon undid it, because it wouldn't even post). It was all going according to the plan, as soon as I hit the desktop. It would start to load but as soon as I did ANYTHING like opening Task Manager (and sometimes even when doing nothing) the screen would go completely black. The PC didn't turn off or reset, it just went completely dark, no cursor, no desktop, no nothing, as if my monitors were turned off. I did everything I could think of - even going as far as clearing the CMOS and reloading an old BIOS profile, but it just wouldn't stick. I got it up and running again when I turned XMP off and the RAM went back to that slow frequency. That happenend when I reloaded the "Last Known Good" profile from the BIOS. I know that Ryzen makes really good use of high frequency RAM so I really wanted to overclock it a little, but what could I be doing wrong? My goal would be to reach somewhere between 2800Mhz and 2999Mhz, but if I can't go that far I would settle for the 2400Mhz which I payed for already. I've attached a couple of images showing all of my computer's information. It's running on Gigabyte's latest drivers, F7a. I'm also running a 600W EVGA PSU and an XFX RX480 8GB Any help? Advice? Thank you!

Guys, I've been reading some Newegg reviews of both boards and I'm now quite scared, since most of them, for both, are pretty bad. Could you please give me any kind of motherboard recommendations on the same price range? Thanks!

Hey guys! So, I just recentely bought a new Ryzen 5 1600X and paired it with a couple of 8GB LPX 2400Mhz memories from Corsair. Now I'm only missing the final part of my build, which is the motherboard. I'm currently in doubt between two models: GIGABYTE AM4 ATX GA-AB350-GAMING ASUS AM4 ATX PRIME B350-PLUS Their price difference is around R$90 (which would be around US$30). I literally have no idea which one would be best, since both ones have everything that I want: M.2 socket, Crossfire/SLI , overclockable, four ram slots and are ATX. What do you guys think? Besides the memory and CPU I already talked about, the rest of the pieces are: XFX RX480 8GB 2TB Seagate HD EVGA 600W PSU The ones being replaced as soon as I get the new board are: AMD 8320E CPU GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 MoBo 16GB of Kingston 1333MHZ Ram The system will be mainly used for gaming and streaming, hence the Ryzen processor. Thanks!

I mostly play World of Warcraft, which is a heavy CPU dependent game So, there's basically no way?

That's one of my main problems. I know that I can overclock it with AMD Overdrive, but I'm not sure if my motherboard will handle/allow it and neither HOW to do it.

Hey guys, So, for the past few months I've been wanting to get more out of my computer. The thing is, I'm getting married next year, so I have literally no money at all to spend with it. With that in mind, the only solution I could think of was overclocking my CPU and Graphics Card. I've attached a couple of CPU-Z printscreens of my system, but it's pretty much like this: CPU: FX-8320E clocked at 3.2Ghz with 4.0 Turbo Max MoBo: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 GPU: XFX Radeon RX480 8GB RAM: 16GB of DD3 Kingston Ram clocked at 1333Mhz PSU: EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze Cooler: Akasa Venom Atto Ak-Cc4012es01 Air Cooler My question is: Can I overclock it? If so, how and what should my limit be? I'm thinking about overclocking both my CPU and my GPU. Thank you all very much for your help!
