Hello!
So i just upgraded my 5 year old i5 6600 to a new r7 3700x and got a msi mag b550 tomahawk to match the chip. I was super excited until i realized I was freezing (Spotify audio would stop, i couldn't alt tab, couldn't open or close tabs) for 10+ seconds at a time. My bios was the original bios when the board came out so today i upgraded to the November one (second latest because the latest which came out this month is still in beta). I noticed on msi the date was 2020-11-04 however after updating, msinfo says 2020-10-29 which are different dates. anyways, i still have the freezes, infact they are more frequent after the update.
A little more info, task manager says i idle at like 4.1ghz. NZXT CAM says around 4-4.2. I wonder why I idle so high when the box says 3.6.
The ram I use is slow and cheap, it runs at like 2800mhz and I hear ryzen likes 3000-3200mhz but i thought that was only first gen.
Any help is appreciated. the freezes come on low load, like when i have spotify and a few tabs open and sometimes when i tab out of a game.
