My old spec was
Ryzen 5600x
Rog strix b550-f
2x8 gb ddr4 corsair vengeance pro 3200mhz cl16
Corsair aio h100i pro (240mm rad)
Corsair rm-750x psu
Rtx 3080
2tb nvme wd black
With this build I had no issues ever. Then I decided to upgrade my cpu to cope with the bottleneck în warzone 2.
Bought a brand new 5900x and installed it. Only crashes came afterward. Even in idle or during windows startup. The error is mostly WHEA 46 but sometimes WHEA 18 aswell.
What I tried to do. Update bios to latest version, update Windows, update all drivers, reinstall windows. Replace ram with a 2x8gb forza 3200mhz cl15.
In the end I sent it back to the amazon seller and bought a another one from another seller (this was was AMD uk vendor)
Installed the second one and the same errors.
Bear in mind they were with stock settings. Even ram was at default 2133mhz
I fixed the idle crashes by changing the SoC Voltage from 1v to 1.1v but the gaming crashes were still happening.
I managed to make it more stable by changing several things:
Set fmax enhancer to disabled
Set pbo on manual and give the values of
Ppt 170, tdc 107, edc 160
Using OCCT and extreme 15 min test and using the results to configure a manual curve optimizer per core and ended with the following values:
-10 (this is core 0)
+1 (this is core 1)
-15
-10
-15
-20
-15
-10
-10
-20
-15
-10
With these settings the system is somewhat more stable. It still crashes once every 5 days while playing warzone.
Temperatures are alright. Average 75c while playing warzone with the aio fans and pump on balanced (around 2000fan rpm).
What would you suggest? Rma this one too and try again or just go for the blue guys?
