Hi all! Just over a month ago I got this B450 Tomahawk+Ryzen 3600 combo here in Brazil. I'm having A LOT of issues with this new platform, most of them mysterious and not necessarily interconnected. I'm gonna list them in a summed up way: 1°. After building it with together with previous parts...

Please, guys, help me. I don't know what to do. I just wanna have a fully functional system, and I didn't think I'd go through this much hassle to get it to work.

Hi everyone! I've been having problems with my new Ryzen system and my SSD; previously freezing and now there's a new problem. I did a fresh install of a new Windows 10 version and the OS works fine, but everytime I shut it down and have to turn it on again the next day, the computer posts, but...

It was Windows 10 all along. Flashing the BIOS yesterday didn't work, the PC kept freezing. I went to sleep, uber frustrated. This morning I installed the newest Windows 10 version and I'm installing all drivers and basic applications right now. It's been running for 25 minutes and no freezing...

I see. Thanks for clearing that up! I have two final questions before I go on with this: 1. The latest BIOS update on MSI's website says it's a beta version and advises that "MSI do not recommend updating the BIOS unless it is necessary". Should I download the earlier version (from August...

The BIOS came updated from the shop to accomodate 3rd gen Ryzen CPUs. However, there's a new version available on MSI's website. Is it okay to update it again? Isn't BIOS something too delicate to be updated several times?

Hi guys! TL, DR: My newly-acquired Ryzen 5 3600+B450 Tomahawk platform freezes my SSD Windows 10 after about 5 minutes of use; the system is highly unstable. However, it works completely fine with my other OS installed in my HDD. On the other hand, SSD OS used to work fine with my previous i5...

Oh, for those who may see this post in the future, the option that you're looking for - if you're looking to let your processor underclock when idling - is AMD Cool n' Quiet, in your BIOS (probably under the "Advanced settings" tab). Also, my monitoring software - HWiNFO64 - was getting the CPU...

Nice! Thank you a lot for clearing that up! Yeah, the temps are actually really sweet at the moment; it stays in the 40s C under load. I'll definitely experiment with overclocking; I edit videos, so that should help me out a lot. Got it! I'll choose it and see how the performance responds...

I don't know why, to be honest. Maybe it's because I was used to Speedstep in my Intel chips and found it strange that my 3600 is locked at 3.6Ghz; maybe it's because I have this idea that running at the same speed all the time will decrease its longevity. Does it make any sense?

Hi people! So, my recently-acquired Ryzen 5 3600 clocks at 3.6Ghz all the time. I previously had an i5 6600k and before that, an i7 3770; both of which dropped in frequency whenever the system didn't need that much power. Now my 3600 keeps its regular clock at all times, even when idling. And...

Will do. Believe it or not, but I have no flash drive here. I asked a friend - who also doesn't have one - to bring his hard drive so I could be sure the problem was with the OS. His Windows 10 is behaving normally so far, with Internet connection, although another strange thing started to...

Hi everyone! I've looked for the same problems as mine elsewhere but nobody seems to have the exact same symptoms. Let me explain what is going on. So I upgraded my rig to a Ryzen 5 3600 with an MSI B450 Tomahawk motherboard. Both parts arrived today; I assembled everything with the rest of the...

@thx1138v2 Yeah, the issue with different modules is what worries me. But, if they don't really work together, I'll do what you proposed and wait until I can buy another HyperX one with the same specs as the newer, faster one. @vapour My heavy use is mostly gaming and video editing. Those are...

Hi folks! I just bought a Ryzen 3600 with a B450 mobo, and I'm waiting for both parts to arrive. I've got two sticks of 8GB HyperX Fury memory that I bought separately for my current Skylake setup. I just recently read that Ryzen 3000 CPUs don't go well with low-frequency RAM. The problem is...
