The AMD Ryzen All In One Thread /Overclocking/Memory Speeds & Timings/Tweaking/Cooling Part 2

Well, perhaps all that was needed was a reseat? The 5900X is working in the B550 system with 32GB Hynix DJR based RAM, and 3700X working in this X570 system with 32GB Samsung B-Die based ram.

Doing ongoing tests on both systems, AIDA64 mem and cache test on the B550 provided the expected results for a 5900X, 62ns latency on memory, 10ns latency on L3 cache.

For now I'm going to leave both processors as they are and allow more time for testing as well as seeing how things go under use? Perhaps something will show up in due course. Suffice to say, evidence so far suggests an RMA wouldn't be necessary.

 

Yeah, Yeah, a reseat.
Always forth giving the CPU a good wriggle in its hole before fixing with the tension bar.
Game on.

 

5900X back in the X570 and seems to be working - it's not crashing when I run the mem/cache benchmark and the results are within expectations. Perhaps as @vestibule mentioned, particularly with the hot weather perhaps causing something to expand and not be seated properly after?

I'm still monitoring though, I've done stress tests, memtests and other things that got the system toasty and so far everything is working.... So confusing after all this, guess we can call it a gremlin...

 

can be as simple as a spec of dust sometimes, my favorite is when you move a computer and it stops booting for no reason.

 

Well, it crashed again... And doing the tests, seeing the odd results again. This didn't happen at all when the 5900X was running on the B550... So I guess it's the motherboard, maybe the socket is faulty or perhaps it has degraded.

I've ordered a new motherboard which will arrive tomorrow. MSI X570S Carbon Max Wifi

 

Motherboards sometimes break with time, just by using them. It just happens....

 

Idk how smart was ordering another MSI motherboard when this one was faulty. When my Gigabyte board crapped itself for no reason i went Asus.

 

My options are quite limited for replacement X570 boards at a reasonable. I'm not touching Gigabyte at all with how much bad luck I've had with them

The major etailers barely have any so amazon is the place to go at the moment... I could go B550 but I'll run into expansion limitations (If I want to have all my sata devices plugged in for example, I'd have to sacrifice a pcie slot or m.2 slot etc or vice versa which will be a problem).

This new board looks to be a vast improvement over my current one at least. More VRMs, better VRM cooling etc

 

My original X370 MSI board died so I went with an ASrock B450 which was great but I had to swap it out because the VRM wasn't liking my 3700X. Swapped it out to an X570 Phantom Gaming 4 and have been please with it ever since.

 

Hi guys,
I'm upgrading from Vega56@64 to MSI RX 6800 Gaming Z Trio so I decided to upgrade the CPU also . I got Ryzen5 5600.
Can anyone tell advise which BIOS is best for ASUS PRIME X370-PRO+5600? or just stick to the last one?
thanks

edit: I'm also upgrading the RAM from 2x16GB G.Skill Aegis DDR4-3200 and I'm wondering wich tool for latency is current now? DRAM calc by 1usmus is not used any more?

 

Latest one should be no issues.

 

On the new motherboard now, did a fresh install of windows too.

All the tests I've thrown at my system have passed with flying colours. Aida Mem/cache benchmark have even shown an improvement to bandwidth and latency.

And one weird thing... my CPU temperatures have decreased....significantly?? No change on coolers (paste is fresh, however existing paste was relatively new as I changed the paste each time I swapped CPUs around when fault finding). Could the better temps be related to better VRMs? My other guess would be the CPU isn't working as hard, not doing extra cycles of error correction?

Will continue to test and simply use my system as normal but so far, I'm quite impressed.

 

Glad its finally working now. Try testing some games as well

Better temperatures could be due mounting presure. Maybe after all that changing and swaping you cooler was loose a bit.

 

Gonna upgrade to 8700x as soon its out to replace my spaceholder 7600x.

25% ipc increase

 

If that’s true that should be interesting

 

Anyone have an asus board and ryzen 7000? Did you try playing with a medium load boostit feature that can avoid 5.5ghz limit on zen4?

It can boost up to 5.65ghz with co -30 and pbo +200. Problem is it can push your weakest cores to high and results in a crash. I still cannot make it completely stable so its disabled atm.
