So for some back ground info, I have a Ryzen 7 5800X CPU 3060TI GPU. Asrock Fatality 4K Gaming MB. So I literally shut down my PC. Started it the next morning, and I realized that my CPU was only running at 533mghz. I noticed it cause all of my stuff was just running super slow. So I open NZXT and saw it running really slow. My question is why it was stuck at 533? I ran Cinebench and it was even slow there as well. I couldn't figure out the issue. I just restarted my PC and it was fixed but I'm curious why it even happened in the first place. The only thing I can think of is that I had downloaded a Mining Software but didn't think it was working after running it for about 45 mins. Maybe that program messed up my CPU or something idk. Please help me...

Hello, about a month ago I purchased a Ryzen 7 5800x to upgrade my computer, ever since I have upgraded, I have had to cap my voltage to 1.2V on BIOs so that my computer does not crash when playing games, it does not let me use the auto settings that the chip has came with and can't use it to its full potential. I have checked for a number of such as overheating (which it is not) and updating chipset drivers but nothing has seemed to have worked. Was wondering if anyone could help me find solution to this problem as I would like to use the most of the cpu I payed decent money for. If anyone requires information about pc to help resolve the situation I am happy to answer Pc Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x Motherboard: MSI AMD B550 MPG GAMING PLUS RAM: 2x Corsair Vengance 8gb 3600MHZ RGB Graphics: Gigabyte GTX 1070Ti 8GB PSU: 650W CORSAIR

Hello all, So I have been having this issue since I built my new rig about a year ago now and it's only getting worse. My issue is that my PC will just crash at random times. By crashing I mean it suddenly shuts down, monitors go black, RGB on the motherboard, GPU, CPU and Ram all turn off for about a second. Then the RGB comes back on like it's going to reboot and it doesn't. I can see the motherboards post codes and it doesn't show anything out of the norm. PC will not start back up until i turn the PSU switch off hold the power button to drain anything left in the system, then flip the switch back on and press the power button again. I have run individual and combined stress tests on the CPU, Ram and GPU and I am unable to reproduce this crash. It only happens when I'm playing games that are on the more demanding side. All my drivers and BIOS are up to date and all components are running at stock speeds. All temps stay in an acceptable range. I'm thinking it's either bad Ram or a bad PSU. Specs below. Thank you in advance for anyone who replies to this post. Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix x570-E Gaming CPU: Ryzen 3800x (stock wraith cooler) Ram: G.Skill Trident Z 32GB (16x2) 3200 CL16 (running in dual channel mode per motherboard specs) GPU: Asus ROG Strix 2070S PSU: Corsair HX850i 80+plat.

Im installing my new cpu! But i need to know if im on the right bios version, my motherboard is an msi x470 and my old cpu is a ryzen 5 1500x, my new one is a ryzen 7 3700x, but idk if this is the right bios version, can anyone help me?

I have an old Radeon HD 6790 with no DirectX support, but because i had previously installed an RX580 in my PC(wich has nothing todo with my Question).When i run Programms like Photoshop or Forza Horizon 4 on my PC it says on Forza "Thanks for Purchasing Forza Horizon 4, we are sorry to tell you that your PC has no graphics card that supports DirectX12 and in Photoshop it just says: "You can´t continue cause of a Program error", but it worked on my RX580, is there any way to still use Photoshop or to Emulate DirectX12 on my old Graphics Card(cause my RX580 broke), i really need Photoshop and i can´t work without it, in the meanwhile i use Gimp. P.S. I have Photoshop 2021 with the newest update.

When I play Valorant no matter what settings I always only get 100Fps and the GPU usage stays low at 20%. In my PC I have a Msi Ventus 2x OC RTX 3070 and a Ryzen 7 3800x, 16GB Ram @ 3200mhz. Please help. I play on 1440p and my monitor is 165hz.

Hi guys, I have a huge problem with my PC and the internet and the Microsoft forum wasn't helpful at all but I think you guys might be able to help me out there. I don't really know when this problem first occurred, but I guess it's since the start of the year. The exact Problem is that sometimes when I'm idling sometimes my GPU spikes to a 100% and when I take a look at the task manager the 3D usage is stuck at a 100% and the Video Encode is stuck at -1%, I don't really know why this happens, but after a quick restart everything works just fine but when this Problem occurs the PC is literally unusable. I will list my specs down below ( and yeah ik its CPU bottlenecked) CPU: Ryzen 7 1700 4Ghz GPU: AORUS GeForce RTX™ 2070 XTREME 8G RAM: 16GB Gskill TridentZ 3200Mhz Storage: 250 GB Crucial mmx500, 1tb Toshiba generic HDD

ok so my stock coller that came with my ryzan 7 doesnot work (if pepole could help with that that would be fantastic. but with the cooler i have now i am getting like high 40s to 50s and even up in the 60s with just like enterent explorer open my room temp is curently 67 deggres farhenitt all other temps are cenagrade. it was working fine erlyer and ive done some gaming on it but am scared to can pepole help espelly with troupble shotting tips for the wrath cooler, i curently have a coller master cooler that was used to cool a ryzan 3 the tempurtures are also always changeing like every seconed and it is very annyoing as i want to be able to play games on this system that did end up costing a good amount of money

Hello everyone, just bought 5800x and it's a beast! Problem is that it overheats too much for my liking, so I have tried to undervolt it from Ryzen master and it seems to be stable at 4.4Ghz with -0.1v. This works great in demanding games as well and temperature is acceptable. Problem is that these settings are not persistent. What would I need to change in ASUS BIOS to get these same results? - Variable clock speed up to 4.4Ghz - CPU voltage up to 1.05V I have Crosshair VII x470 motherboard. I haven't done this before and seems better to ask than to mess something up.

Just looking for a site that would sell a singular Ryzen 4650/4750G OR a cheapish prebuilt that can be upgraded. (also I have seen a PC on centrecom.au, so avoid sending that link that one if you can)

Hello, I purchased the new Battlefield 2042 and saw that my CPU was always at 100% usage and my GPU(GTX 1071ti) only around 35% usage. So I decided it was time to change the CPU and some other parts. I put my new parts together today and when I start Battlefield 2042, I get to the menu my Pc restarts right away. It used to work with my old parts. I tried BF5 and I'm not having the issue, I can get to the menu. I will try to play BF5 tomorrow to see if something happens. When I start Battlefield I get to the menu and my PC reboots. When I had my old CPU, motherboard, RAM and SSD I was able to play no problem. You can see my old parts on my LTT profile. My new parts are the following: - Ryzen 7 5800x - G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit (F4-3200C16D-16GVKB) - ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX gaming motherboard - WD Black SN750SE 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 2280 Read:3600MB/s,Write: 2830MB/s SSD (WDS100T1B0E) I check my temps of my CPU and GPU and everything is fine. I did a stress test with AIDA on my CPU and at 100% it gets to max 65c. Also did a stress test on my GPU and it doesn't get higher than before (Around 63c). I after stress test the CPU and GPU at the same time and everything is fine no crash and good temps. Nothing is overclocked for now, didn't change anything in the BIOS either. My GPU driver is also up to date. I told my self it's probably not that the game is not installed properly because it reboots the whole computer and not just the actual game. I don't think it's my PSU (EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W 80 Plus Gold) that's not strong enough, unless I'm mistaken. I don't think my new motherboard and CPU pull that much more power than my old ones. It really sucks, really wanted to test this new setup with Battlefield 2042. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Hopefully someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance guys!

Wanted to know if I'll face any issues also if i should wait for Ryzen refresh which is around jan

Hey there! I'm giving the forum a shot to ask for some help. Some needed context: MOBO: Biostar Racing B550GTQ *CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X *GPU: SAPHIRE Radeon 6600 RAM: XPG Gammix D30 Silver DDR4, 3200MHz, 8GB, Non-ECC, CL16, XMP (4 sticks for a total of 32GB) *PSU: EVGA 500w Bronze (In Trying to cover all my bases, I'll add some misc information about the system) *-4 running argb fans, all connected to MOBO. -CM Hyper212 Cooler -CM q300l case *-OS runs off of a 120GB ssd. *-Additional Storage: 1TB WD Harddrive, 1TB Lenovo Laptop HDD & 1TB Kingston NVME ssd -Stat Screen on inside of PC (A sketchy assembly on my part: Aliexpress stat screen hooked to a usb outlet mooshed on the inside.) *-rgb lightstrips and other decorations made out of literal junk, including old cables (None of these faux cable come in contact with a functioning device). *-PCIE expansion card with 4 USB3.0 ports (receive sata power) An * here: never presented issues before MOBO upgrade As a gamer and digital arts profesional on a tight budget, I decided to take the leap into purchasing gear I could get for work and leisure. Over the course of a year I obtained a *Ryzen 3700x (Unknown provenance, aliexpress unit,), and a *Radeon 6600 Sapphire. Among other upgrades I had wanted to obtain a B550 MOBO with PCIE 4.0 for these new components. As with other components I went with an affordable option, a BIOSTAR B550GTQ Racing MOBO. I make a big emphasis on the MOBO because this strange glitch only began happening after it's instalation. In its previous MOBO (An asrock B320), the PC never encountered this glitch. I'll describe the glitch: Whilst watching youtube videos or playing games a sudden stutter will occur. The video/game will stutter, slowing down. The audio will distort alongside it, making an awful screeching noise. It lasts only a second or two, then it'll stop. It will not happen again until next boot. Other small problems began around this time aswell: -PC won't come back from Sleep Mode. -Internal Monitoring Screen will remain on and displaying frozen data, system wont come back from sleep mode. -Slower Boot time. System will delay significantly in booting windows from ssd. I've investigated and tried several troubleshooting steps. All the way from software issues, to hardware issues. I've changed power performance levels and changed several drivers. I've also obtained a new SSD for boot. Problem persists. My best guesses lie in a couple places: -MOBO being faulty? -PSU causing some sort of undervolting? -Driver issues? My main suspect is the MOBO, although I would very much like to hear people's thoughts. I'll be more than happy to provide any adittional info to anyone who's like to help me out!

So this has been happening for quite a while now, where I would go to click my power button to put my pc into sleep and the monitor would shut off, but the fans and lights would remain on and the fans would run at a reduced rate. Usually it is only the RAM LEDs that stay on during sleep. When I go to boot the system back up after it going into one of these "false" sleeps the monitor doesn't pick up the GP (GTX660) and then I have to reset the PC (have another power button for that) and it resets the PC and goes to the BIOS, fun thing though my monitor after a failed sleep doesn't detect a signal so I have to go and usually plug in an old monitor into the DVI port and get into the bios that way, my BIOS has all the UEFI settings enabled (thought that would stop it from going to defaulting to the DVI port on the GPU. I have a GTX660, R7 5800x (yes I know big bottle neck, but can't get a new GPU yet) X570-e STRIX ASUS 32gb of 3600Mhz RAM, 8tb HD 500gbssd, RM850x PSU. Please help.

Hello everyone, so it´s been around 4 happy years since i got my Ryzen 7 2700x. Since i installed an AIO everything runned nice and cool, but after a recent deep cleaning with thermal paste replacement, my CPU has been getting pretty hot in the following weeks. I did a little check and everything is installed correctly like the first time but temps are pretty high (60-65ºC at iddle and 85ºC+ while only browser open). With a little research and i modified the setting of the balanced power plan, reducing the max power state of the processor(from 100% to 99% , just to try out) ; This greatly reduced the heat output of the CPU (38-40ºC iddle, 60-65ºC while gaming) but now it only peaks at 3.2GHz, as you guys know the 2700x base clock is 3.7GHz and boosts (or at least in my case) up to 4.1GHz. Since im not and expert im not pretty sure if it is a voltage problem or how even to diagnose the posible problems that my CPU might have. My parts are as follows:-: Mobo: GigaByte B450 AORUS M (rev 1),AIO: Nzxt Kraken 120, CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x ,Case: Nzxt s340. Further info : i havent updated my Bios and the CPU isnt OC , all of the temps are measured by RayzenMaster . Voltages are as follows :-: at 99% of max power is 0.98 -1 v and at 100% is 1.35-1.425v (dunno if it is a big voltage leap). Any help will be deeply appreciated beacuse i dont have a great budget to replace any expensive parts.

Hey all, I'm experiencing post issues with the following motherboards: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC (BIOS updated for 3000 series): Showing CPU debug light (and occasionally the VGA light as well) -- this has been my main board for well over a year without any issues, up until a few days ago where it would not post after a simple reboot MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge WiFi: Showing DRAM debug light -- this is a brand new board (received 12th Jan) My other hardware: CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x Cooler: be quiet!

Shows DRAM debug light each time Further to the above, the only thing I haven't been able to test, is another CPU - as I don't have one handy. I'm really hoping it is not the cause, but I'm trying to get my hands on one to test. In the meantime, if anyone has some other suggestions to try, I'm all ears!

I am planning to upgrade this year either with Ryzen 7 7900X or i9 13900K depending which ever come 1st RTX 4090 when ever it comes out this year I am thinking to buy the 1300W PSU and the Fractal Torrent Case 1st if they go on sale before the new chip launch. As in the rumors its been said RTX 4090 it can take upto 500W so 1300W PSU should be safe bet i am guessing. Guys let me know your thoughts so i can plan my future build Thanks in advance

Recently my computer has been randomly blue-screening and randomly not waking up from sleep. It seems that the A-XMP 1 Profile on my MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard is causing the ram to run unstable. The RAM I am using is F4-3600C19D-16GVRB. It's G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2x 8GB) kits and I have two of them installed in my system. First I thought it was a BIOS-related issue and so I tried to update the BIOS using MSI's tool and I was unsuccessful and the BIOS ended up corrupting itself. Then I had the board RMA'd and they swapped it for a different unit. The new motherboard runs fine with A-XMP OFF but NOT when it is enabled. The RAM then causes the computer to blue-screen again. I then contacted G.Skill support and they told me that the RAM I had is "Intel-only" and that the only solution to my problem is to spend $175 buying "AMD Ryzen certified memory". Is there legitimately a difference between "Intel certified" and "AMD certified" memory, or is it just a marketing sham so they can charge almost double the price for the same memory kit? Also if there is actually a difference in the memory kits why do they hide this in the description of the memory kits? Also, PCPartPicker lists my memory kit as compatible with my motherboard, but according to G.Skill, it's not. In the reviews of my memory kit on Newegg it seems many other people have had this same issue as me and G.Skill hasn't updated their listing to state that this is "Intel-only" memory. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do?

All the links provided are in German, but it should be fine since the specs are self-evident. OK, so there is a big sale on the following hp omen 15, that now costs 1000 euros: https://www.alternate.de/OMEN/15-en1155ng-Gaming-Notebook/html/product/1731778 It lacks 16gb RAM, but I can fix that with an additional 70 euros. Now the dilemma is that this particular model only has a Ryzen 5 5600H and there is a possibility for the same laptop, but with a Ryzen 7 5800H - https://www.alternate.de/OMEN/15-en1178ng-Gaming-Notebook/html/product/1731775 Or a Lenovo legion 5, also same specs, bar the Ryzen 7 5800H - https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08THLYWM5?linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&creativeASIN=B08THLYWM5&tag=geizhalspre03-21&ascsubtag=6XNtRA4zVZLeijZqbRThQ to get a sale too, especially considering Black Friday is coming soon, however even with the sale, compared to the current offering it will probably be around a 100 euro more expensive still. So to summarize, right now and for 2 days more, I have the ability to buy the first laptop I mentioned, however there is a chance that a better one, only in terms of the the CPU, might become available later on, but would be at least 100 euros more expensive. So, should I risk not buying the current offering in hopes that soon I might be able to buy a slightly better option for a bit more money? My current laptop is a MSI GT72 2qd, which has lasted me for a long 6 years and I'd like for my new laptop to last me at least 3-4 years. So the only reason I'm considering the Ryzen 7 is for futureproofing and longevity. Considering how in most tasks there won't be much difference, since I just mostly do programming, gaming and an occasional linux subsystem on windows(basically a virtual machine) on my laptop.

Hi! I recently purchased a Ryzen 7 5800x, but the performance is not like the benchmarks I see online. Every game that I could test and compare to those online, I usually was 20% lower in FPS. In those test they are using RTX 3080s, so I made sure to put the resolution slider on the lowest setting. GPU usage in benchmarks didn't go over 80%. However my cinebench score is about the same as everyone else's (5883 in cinebench R20). PBO sets my cpu frequency to around 4,6 to 4,85 GHz. (PBO limits disabled and on all cores curve optimizer magnitude of negative 15) Max temp AIDA64 stress test 10 minutes - 83 *C Memory: 1.38v - 3133Mhz 16-17-17-36 2x8 (Slots A2 and B2) (CPUz reports it as dual channel DRAM Frequency 1563,5 So 1563,5 x 2 = 3127 Mhz, not quite 3133 but close enough) B450 Steel Legend GTX 1080 Ti - Stock Games installed on SSD Backround applications ~ 3% CPU usage On Reddit people were saying that the issue is caused by my GPU, but it usually sits around 75 ~ 80% usage, so how could that be the problem? What am I overlooking? Thanks in regards!

Hey guys! Need your expertise on choosing the best CPU upgrade for my streaming + DAW setup. I'm torn between R5 5600x and R7 3700x since they are in my budget range and almost same pricing in my country, also, I'm using B450M Mortar Max that is why I'm choosing AMD chip. :)

Made an account just to post here but I'm having a ton of weird issues with my PC and I'm not entirely sure what's even causing them at this point. I use this PC for a bunch of things, WFH, Gaming, Blender and shiz but there always feels like there's some weird problem going on with it and no amount of Windows reinstalls and bios rests has seemed to fix it. I get random reboots straight to the bios out of nowhere and when I so much as have chrome open, the last time which was 20 minutes ago went into recovery mode. I'll have random performance drops when playing Apex Legends or any other intensive game for a period of time. And im not entirely sure what to do and try and fix it next. It has more than adequate Cooling, the CPU has a AIO on it and there's like, 5 fans in the PC not including GPU fans. The clock speed will idle at 4.7ghz when im doing absolutely nothing on the desktop.- Specs: Asus X570 Prime Pro Ryzen 5800X Asus Strix 2080 Super Cooler Master Master Watt 650W PSU 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB RAM @ 3200MHZ

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some assistance with this question of mine. How would I go about switching out my CPU for a newer model I would like to purchase at the end of the year? I believe that my motherboard has support for the CPU I want in question but I wanted to know if its as easy as switching out cpu's and turning it back on. Could I get some tips or assitance doing that? I have: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING - Motherboard Ryzen 5 3600 - CPU MSI Ventrus 3x RTX 3070 OC - GPU 32GB @3600hrz - RAM 2x Samsung Evo 500GB SSD and 1x 1TB Baracuda 7200RPM - Storage Noctua NH-U12 - Fan Cooler Master 80+ Gold 650w - Power Supply I would like to swap out my 3600 for a Ryzen 7 5800x and also have enough power to easily support an upgrade of this kind as well. I would really appricate any advice I can get!
