Hi all,
hoping that this few words can help someone else... From a couple of years i fight again random BSOD with my build.
All of the (other) parts of my build where perfecty running, i bought 5900x to replace my 3700x, which worked flawlessly. (all the rest of the build remained the same).
I knew that i was not not the only one who was fighing against WHEA BSODS on ryzen 5000, and tried my best for long time, tried lot of solutions but:
- the only way (for me) to avoid (100% of) BSODS was to avoid CPU boosting (either from BIOS settings, or from windows setting a power plan with maximum CPU percentage set at 99%)
- i've tried (not exaustive list)
- raising/lowering voltages of CPU
- raising/lowering voltages of SOC
- raising/lowering voltages of IOD
- lowering RAM speed
- raising/lowering voltages of RAM
- swapping RAM slots
- every motherboard new firmware i've made the update, a reset to default and retried with default conf and with individual settings
- and so on...
Personally i've always refused to accept as a viable solution to run a CPU designed for high end users obtaining "poor perfomances", of better said a lot less performances of what i've expected when i've bought the 5900x.
At the beginning of this new year i've thinked to give a try to a "new" idea, given that all crashes was clearly related to the CPU boosting, instead of completely cutting the performance i've started limiting the room available to the CPU to boost, enabling PBO and setting manually new limits for PPT/TDC/EDC. After some trial i've found a good compromise for my specific CPU setting them at 90% of the stock values (128/81/126). Maybe i could also go further, but for this "session" of troubleshooting i'm satisfied.
I've then mitigated the performance lost setting some negative value on curve optimizer (-20 on all excepted gold and silver cores on CCD0, -10 on the CCD1, always except golder and silver one).
I'm at home with flou from 3 days with those settings i cannot reproduce in any ways a WHEA (usually i could pretty easily obtain a WHEA in few time, not in a repeatable way, if the WHEA don't come alone)
I hope this could help someone else who like me is not (or better said no longer) eligible to open an RMA request.
Regards,
