PC Processors

I bought an AMD RYZEN 5 3600 processor 2 years ago, I had a problem with various BSODs, I set the processor's VCORE to 1.1V in the BIOS and everything was fine, but recently I found out that it limits the processor power. Is this a processor defect? Anyone had such a problem? Can this be fixed other than by setting the CPU VCORE?

Computer specification :

AMD RYZEN 5 3600

Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite

MSI GEFORCE RTX 2060 GAMING Z 6GB

PLEXTOR 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe M9PeG

SilentiumPC Vero M2 600W Plus Bronze

I think your PSU might be not quite up to the task. BSODs and things of this nature can result from a PSU operating beyond it's capabilities. Lowering your VCORE voltage probably helped that and the BSODs went away. I would up your PSU to a 750 Watt Gold or Platinum if you can. I am a firm believer in having double the required power available from a PSU and I only use name brand ones at that. You only draw the power that your load needs and that load can increase quite a bit when gaming.

As Albert Einstein said, "I could have done so much more with a Big Al's Computer!".
