Maybe I accidentally bottlenecked

[thatskuro]

Hello everyone, I've been wondering about this thing recently so I tought to ask someone who certainly knows more than me about this. 

So basically I have an Asus A320m-k motherboard, I had a Ryzen 3 3200 but decided to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 3600, as on the website the new mobo update says that supported too.

 Seeing videos before upgrading I figured out that it's not the same thing with motherboards that supports the 3600 natively, but stupidly thinking "it works so it's okay" I changed the Cpu and I think I bottlenecked my system seeing sometimes a little stutter both in video games and in the daily use of my pc, so also in the desktop.

My question is, is there a way to fix these stutters without changing the motherboard yet? I'm planning to buy a new one but I can't at the moment.

I tried a clean Windows install multiple times, different gpu drivers and general windows optimization settings but I still didn't find a solution.

My other pc specs are:

Hyperx 16GB ddr4 ram 3200Mhz

Gtx 980 4gb

Thanks for reading and for help in advance.

Check your BOIS/UEFI settings. You may need to update the Firmware.

Which Ryzen 5 3600?  There's a few and it changes things for the motherboard:

 

But overall, no.  (Also, a Ryzen 5 3400G needs 4801 to work, so you should be fine.)  EDIT:  The 3200G has the same BIOS requirements.

 

You upgraded your CPU.  That should not introduce a bottleneck or stuttering.  (I think you're also confused about what bottleneck means.)

 

If you're seeing stuttering now, things to check:

CPU Temperatures when it happens.  It's possible something's messed up temp-wise and having issues.

 

CPU Load?  Is a process misbehaving and killing your cycles?

 

There's no reason to replace your motherboard for this.  It will literally change nothing.

 

If you run out of other options, try reinstalling windows.

My processor is the base Ryzen 5 3600 with 3.6 Ghz base clock

My bad, I was saying that maybe I did some type of bottleneck because at first the motherboard did not support the 3600 so I tought that might be the only reason of the stutters.

About the temperature, after 1 day of using the stock cooler I changed it to a Cooler Master Hyper 212  and my temperatures went to 80+ to 60-70.

The Cpu load is really low in the desktop and in games it's around 70-80%

If a motherboard is rated to support a processor, it supports the processor.

 

Your board supports the 3900X, so your CPU is not taxing it in any way.

 

Do check your BIOS revision, as suggested.

I don't understand much about this, I upgraded the bios version using an Usb and by downloading the latest version on the Asus website. 

Is that the same thing you said?

Upgrading Firmware? Yes. But you need to go into the Settings Menu and ensure some adjustments are made. Be very careful, you can render your system unbootable.

Okay, and which settings may I have to change?

The way it's described, I'd try a clear cmos first...

 

Then look elsewhere than the Cpu if you have reinstalled windows successfully. If the Cpu was the issue, that would never have happened. The processor is fine, your stutter issue lays elsewhere, but try the clear cmos deal first. Read the motherboard manual for the how to.

Thank you, I tried the clear cmos but I can still see that "micro stutters".

Actually, I have a really bad connection and ofter it has big slowdowns, it's possible that this can be a cause too?
