Question Ryzen 7 5800x problem

[AGru__]

Specs
Ryzen 7 5800x
X570 Aorus Elite WIFI latest bios
2 old ssds
32gb RAM
750W PSU
Windows 11 Pro

Main issue
my pc freezes from time to time regularly ( 15~20 seconds ) can't interact with any window, sound works normally during the freeze

I have my curve optimizer ON with Negative 30 to all cores to control temperatures ( tried default settings but problem still happens )

I also have C state off in the BIOS and AMD Quiet & Cool feature also off ( with them on problem still occurs )

the only solution that worked for me is setting the power plan on High performance from windows settings ( doing that eliminates the freeze )

the problem is I noticed my power bill has come up significantly compared to other times i had it on Balanced power plan

Can High Performance be causing that power bill spike? and if yes what should I do?

Hey there,

Can High Performance be causing that power bill spike? and if yes what should I do?

No, it won't change your power bill in any meaningful way.

Start off by taking off any OC's/undervolts you have applied. Test with stock and PBO only. Is the issue still there?

If the solution is to switch to high performance power plan, then do that. It should work as intended on the balanced plan. Are you using the Ryzen balanced, or Windows balanced?

windows balanced I literally just tried windows balanced again and it froze about 10 minutes after then i had to switch bad the high performance

750W PSU
750W is the advertised wattage of the unit. What is the make and model of the PSU and it's age? You might want to clear your CMOS, but enable X.M.P after you boot up and then run curve optimizer.

BIOS version for your motherboard?

XMP is enabled also PSU is 2021 I believe it's called XPG core reactor gold 750W

windows balanced I literally just tried windows balanced again and it froze about 10 minutes after then i had to switch bad the high performance

Have you taken off the OC/undervolt and tested?

 

[AGru__]

yes i have tested with default bios settings no change

-30 is probably causing WHEA errors in event viewer. You may want to see what cores are the starred "favorite" cores in Ryzen master and try -15 on those two. If you decide to do it in the future.

High performance should not raise a power bill noticeably.

How old are your SSD's? How full? You may want to consider testing those, the freezing may be a sign of imminent failure. The SSD manufacturer may have software available to test. Might also want to run Memtest to rule out memory errors. HWinfo64 can also give you an idea on SSD life expectancy and it will record WHEA errors.

Does event viewer show any specific errors around the time you're having issues?

not sure if event viewer is showing havent checked, but since the problem went away with high performance mode I guessed it was related to the CPU directly also the normal default settings on bios still cause the problem without -30

What is Minimum processor state set in Balanced or power saving modes ? If set too low it's possible that coupled with -30 CO. processor lowers voltage too much at idle state.

not sure what is the solution here other than keeping it on high performance

Reset all your power plans to default. If you've been messing around with them, it's possible one or more are buggy.

Open powershell as admin.

Type the following into powershell:

Ultimate Performance : powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

High Performance : powercfg -duplicatescheme 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c

Balanced : powercfg -duplicatescheme 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e

Power saver : powercfg -duplicatescheme a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a

This will reset them all. Test again.

I didn't mess around with any settings I just set it to High performance and that's it but ill try

Okay so I did it and It's basically the same ._.

 

[drivinfast247]

Did you use Ryzen Master?

You wouldn't notice a change in your energy bill from switching to high performance.

Okay so I did it and It's basically the same ._.

What did you try?

i tried what Roland said about resetting the power plans to default.. nothing changed
and No I didn't use ryzen master
