Ryzen for the first time! Help!

[AndrewR.]

Hi guys, I just got myself a new PC:

Ryzen 5 3600 + Gigabyte b450m ds3h + 16 GB @ 3000 and Rx 580.

I have a few issues:

- I had trouble getting signal through rx 580 until I disabled CMS bios (legacy) but it worked fine with an older gts 250 without disabling it, the only difference is that the RX uses the HDMI, any idea why is this happening?

- I feel that the system is not working properly, the fans are going crazy like they stop for a sec and suddenly jumping on higher rpms.

- I used the stock cooler for two days but I was hitting 90 degrees in Warzone so I decided to change it but there is not much difference, it still hits 86 degrees.

- I also kept the processor under observation and notice that the frequency, voltage and temperature and jumping all over the place even in idle and even when just moving the mouse

 

I'm using the AMD balanced power settings in Windows, Cool 'n' Quite is Enabled and Core performance boost in on Auto as it doesn't have Enabled.

 

Most of my Bios settings are on Auto and I doubt that's correct.

 

What can I do to have steady temps and steady frequency or at least so it doesn't jump all over the place?

OK, weird things are happening...I have the latest chipset drivers and if I have Cool'N'Quite on and AMD Balanced power plan the CPU doesn't drop under 3518 MHz and when I'm using the PC goes to 3593 MHz. I also noticed that sometimes the CPU frequency drops down to 0.192 V. Something weird is happening

have you try manually change the freq to the exact base freq

[AndrewR.]

I disabled the Core Boost performance and the CPU stays at the clock speed mentioned above, the frequency doesn't go much over 1 V but drops to 0.192 for some reason

I did noticed an improvement in temps

CMS is not advised in alot of situations

Make sure it's seated properly

Use ryzen master to monitor temps 

Look at Tdie and tctl temps

That's normal

turn on c-state in bios, it help lower clock and volt when idle

whats your idle temp?

if high( over 50C may be) cooler isnt in good contact

Another strange issue...using a RX 580 with HDMI, I had to unplug the HDMI to use the monitor for work and now when I plugged it back and powered on the PC I got an sound error from my MB, one long and 3 short beeps and I believe it's related to the GPU. After that sound error the screen remains black, passing the BIOS boot screen I guess and get's on the logon screen of Windows with signal provided to the display. I tried entering the BIOS with the HDMI but that didn't work, the screen stays black.

 

So I used the VGA connection with a Display Port adapter and the PC starts without any sound errors, I can enter the BIOS. What I noticed when accessing the BIOS is the fact that the CSM option is back to Enabled, by itself.

 

WTF is wrong?
