Performances issues

[MathieuAR]

(Just to let everyone know that i'm french so don't blame me too much if i did some errors in the text)

 

Hello, honestly when i bought the parts of my pc i just wanted the best of the best and i thought i had it but i have some problems..

 

Sometimes my pc just randomly has micro freezes and some applications like chrome crash for no reasons but it didn't do that before.. Internet acting really slow sometimes and when i open my laptop at the same time just to be sure that its just not my internet having some issues well everything is instant. When i open task manager it takes a long time but my laptop with worst specs it opens instantly

 

Its getting worse and worse but i don't know why.. this pc is not even 1 year old

 

Trust me i'm really careful with what i download so there are probably no chance that i have a virus

 

did i forgot to install a major software or did i pick 2 parts that are not really compatible?

 

PC Specs:

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme

Cooling: Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3

Processor: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X

SSD: 2x Samsung 970 EVO Plus (2000Go each)

HDD: WD Gold 18Tb

Case: ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601

Graphics card: ASUS GeForce RTX 2080 Ti ROG Strix O11G Gaming

Power supply: Corsair HX1200 (1200W)

Thermal paste: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (1g, 12.50W/m K)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX (8x, 16Go, DDR4-3600)

 

 

I had pc with worst specs that runs faster so i surely did something wrong.. Can someone maybe help?

Boot the system with a linux boot usb, like ubuntu or debian or any other with a desktop enviroment,

see if the problems are still there

 

If so, start troubleshooting your pc hardware

 

Possible reasons:

 

1. Heat issue  -  Try to find out if the case is getting exessive warm, if so check if the fans are spinning,  check your air filters in the case

 

2. Ram Issue - Try removing ram sticks one by one and check if theres a problem every time you boot do a little benchmark to check for functionality

 

3. Power supply - hopefully not, but try to smell your power supply if there is a strong burnt smell to it

1) Processor never got any higher than 65
2) Already did that 2 times absolutly nothing changed

3) I don't smell anything apart from the smell of new that it still has

then boot into a linux distro and see if the same problems occur in a different os

didn't change anything

try a different motherboard, maybe theres an issue with the northbridge

What BIOS version you have on that board? And is the problem only on the VMs or on the main system as well ?

Well, start with the basics. 

newest BIOS?

Chipset drivers? 

Windows up to date? 

 

[QuantumSingularity]

Well he said the system is about a year old and the only BIOS update for that mobo is from January this year. I suspect he is running the old BIOS and that's his problem. The new one specifically says it addresses memory stability issues.

Can someone connect to my pc and help me? i tried everything said here and some extra things but nothing works...

actually, yes.

LPX

this RAM often doesnt play nice with Ryzen.

Get Gskill Tritent Z / Royal instead.

 

You will still need to update bios and chipset drivers tho, if you havent.

"Vengeance LPX DDR4 modules are compatibility-tested across AMD Ryzen Series motherboards for reliably fast performance. And, they're available in multiple colors to match your motherboard, your components, or just your style."

 

thats what i found when searching the reference number of the ram and ryzen next to it

Found a video (that is not mine) that has the exact same problem than me but it only happens on minecraft

Yeah its less the ram type and more the frequency that is the issue I think that is occurring here. I forget which ram video linus did but there was hidden within something I think about AMD cpu's not liking ram faster than 3200 mhz or something around there. (And by not liking it I mean the ram will cause the cpu to be wonky. And unstable in some cases. And gaming is where your most likely to see it occur.) I think it was one of the videos talking about specifically ram frequency. I'm sure its not hard to google it or if you want me I can try digging it up for you.


EDIT: OR op, hasn't altered the frequency in the bios. O...O this could actually be the issue the bios is bottlenecking the ram.
