I just updated the BIOS a couple of weeks ago

Yes, currently I'm using the Ryzen 7 5800x. Which is 8 cores 16 threads. I have a friend who has the same CPU and no issues. Interestingly Fallout 4 Vanilla runs quite smooth. Tried multiple modlists and it just tanks performance, getting those big FPS drops. Biggest correlation I can make is...

Not using a riser cable of any kind. GPU is directly into one of the PCie x16 slots. Here's a shot of GPUz: https://ibb.co/sRLyB51 Sensors: https://ibb.co/Nrr10W8 I did mention in previous post about potential CPU issue when one core goes above around 75% usage or so. Not really certain, but...

Yes, still problems. I noticed I have no issues with red dead redemption 2 though, which is not through steam at all. (Have messed around with steam overlay etc.. though) I noticed the RDR2 seems much more optimized for a multi core CPU, usage is better spread out and tends to not go over 60-70%...

I have, yes. Actually now I am running just 2 in dual channel. (From a kit)

Updated both, still same issue. Problem might actually seem a bit worse after having updated. I have noticed that in Witcher 3 my CPU clock will go from 3775 to 4850 frequently. Even when on high performance mode... I've benched CPU with various benchmark programs though.

I have been getting very low 1% and 0.1% FPS numbers that cause stuttering, when otherwise getting a solid 60+ FPS (often having it capped at 60) It's across multiple games and now also multiple rigs with completely different hardware. In some rigs it has been more frequent/pronounced then...

Having the same issue, where you ever able to resolve it? (Have had this issue with around 4 rigs with completely separate hardware too)

(You can skip to Edit) Apologies it's an Asus ROG STRIX B550-F MOBO. And I tried to change the CAS (latency I believe) to 16 as is advertised on these RAM sepcs and enable overclocking, then it wouldn't post. So I had to reset the CMOS a short the two pins. After that I'm somewhat worried to...

The MOBO UI is interesting on this MSI board. I couldn't really find XMP anywhere in the BIOS. Just manually set the clocks to 3200MHz and left voltage at auto (the only "options" I could really find regarding RAM). I will look again today to make sure I didn't overlook anything. Don't believe...

I have 3 sticks of Corsair 3200mhz RAM CMW16GX4M2C3200C16 I had to manually set the clock in the BIOS to 3200 otherwise it was auto clocking it at 2000 or so. One of the issues is that it seems to be under performing. The latency is listed as 22 (as you can see in these images) while the RAM...

Oh yes, I'm well aware of this. So analyzing just the hardware/power of the two per se, largely in terms of game performance.

I went with the desktop and now it's the other way around with a different laptop that's being offered for trade for my desktop. Thinking of making the trade, using the laptop to game in the interim and putting the laptop up for sale as I could make enough to build or buy an even better desktop...

$100 is a lot for me to drop on a PSU, especially as I'd like to upgrade the CPU and GPU. There are now $60 or so PSUs that are decent? The PSU in this desktop is also around 1 1/2 years old.

I was actually thinking of upgrading it to the 5600x, the MOBO if flashed says it can support it and I could find it used for maybe around $100-150 even. Would be an even better upgrade. Though in my brief bench marking/testing as of yet the CPU is performing decently, even compared to the i7...
