Which is the very first thing anyone would suspect when seeing a VGA LED. Most of the topics I found also revolved around completely other things and the CPU as a possibility (and solution) is only mentioned in one. Hence I thought adding a topic putting this on the radar might be helpful for...

Just thought I'd share the troubleshooting I did recently rather than asking a question as usual. I found a lot of topics about this but usually people ended up not responding anymore or had different solutions. Error type: PC is not booting anymore. The QLED of my Asus TUF x570 Pro Gaming (and...

That was really a big screw-up by Amazon. I ordered one almost 7 hours after the sales started and was wondering if everyone was just setting their eyes on FE+EVGA or why the f nobody wants that Zotac model. But yeah, now it's pretty obvious what happened :D. I'll still keep it unless I find...

I kept everything as-is, so no fresh OS install, I'm continuing to use what I did before. I take it then that you think the most likely culprit is a hard drive? I was kind of excluding them because they were taken over from my old system, but in that case I might have to do some further...

Trying my luck with a thread here as I don't really find descriptions that are similar :(. I just upgraded everything apart from my graphics card and hard drives. After a few days of 0 issues I now had the following behavior on two consecutive days: While just browsing or watching videos...

Even if it was 10%, a 700$ card outperforming a 1200$ card by that amount is still an incredible push in my opinion.

Why are you doing this, now I am on the verge of buying although I wanted to wait what AMD has in store...uuurgh damn greed...

It immediately went from not available yet to "out of stock" for me, no chance at all :D. It looks like Amazon now has the Zotac for the same price, but I'm hesitant with that one as the EVGA cards all are at higher prices, so there must be something about that one despite having 1 or 2 reviews...

Maybe it's temperature-related. Snippet from mine (Sorry for the German :D): View: https://imgur.com/VAcHECu So same temp but I have higher voltages and Ghz...perhaps it's trying to stay around the 74° or something. btw. see my edit above, it looks like "enabled" for PBO gives you a tiny...

I'm not 100% sure regarding Auto OC to be perfectly honest. I just changed it and let it restart so that it always showed that the "Auto OC" setting is active whenever I fire up the program. Not sure if it is actually boosting anything apart from default, I was pretty tired of testing with all...

I ended up doing a CMOS reset during my overclock attempts and left everything untouched apart from settings the DOCP profile for my Ram. Then just set the profile in Ryzen Master to Auto OC. I also updated the bios and downloaded the AMD drivers to set the Windows power profile to Ryzen high...

That's why drea mentioned it specifically - looking at the voltages during PBO can be very misleading as it might be in the 1.35 range or even 1.4+ and higher a lot of times, but the main point is when it needs to be lower, it can go lower. Your values seem off though - just re-tested with my...

I would recommend ditching the overclocking and relying on the PBO instead with those values. It will go beyond your 4.4GHz in scenarios not using all cores (so all-core benchmarks are a bad indicator of your gaming performance changes), so for gaming you should have better boosts compared to a...

100°C is dangerously high, that's definitely the issue. Personally I would check for the following: Open up your case and check if all fans are running. So not just the CPU cooler, but also the case fans. If all fans are running, you could try applying new thermal paste for your current cooler...

Honestly I don't think overclocking manually is worth it much with that processor. With an all-cores approach for general testing, 4.4GHz with 1.325V was the highest stable thing I could get working. Anything higher was always crashing even with 1.38V etc.. And while that gives a tremendous...
