Question Ryzen 7500f reaching 6.6 GHz in stock, sometimes freezing system

[Crimonit]

Bought 7500f about 3 months ago, seeing some strange behavior. First of all, sometimes system freezes for a split second on load, however, never seen it freezing while idling or doing easy work. Second, when using sleep mode, it usually freezes for 10 seconds on wake up, and then it might become responsive or freeze altogether.
These freezes do not occur frequently, so it's not actually disrupting anything, but i'm still concerned about cpu's health.
I'm sure i never overclocked or undervolted cpu in bios, though not sure about PBO being on or off.
Might those freezes occur because of boosted clocks? As far as i've seen on 7500f's specs, max clock should be 5 GHz.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

What app are you using to monitor clocks/temps/stats?

no idea when my PSU was made (don't have the box on me), but bought it brand new from store 3 months ago too.

Entirely another system on another motherboard & socket

single channel can make lag spikes since your only pulling from one side of the channel. other things is make sure your nvme has a heatsink it will make it last longer.

your chip is being kept cool msi motherboard may also be overclocking your cpu as should only be doing 1,2v on average. so pbo is most likely on. or a msi variant. my asus board did same with a 5900x. pushing mine to 1.5v when it should be closer to 1.4

also that psu is quite weedy and will most likely give up the ghost eventually.

i know that dual channel is better, i bought 1 stick planning to buy another once i save up some. still, it's hard to believe the cause of system freezes is single channel ram.

Never mix ram always but a kit as that's what the kit is designed to do.

Buying even the same single stick of ram gives zero guarantees it will work and can even make the pc more unstable

Windows 11 is known to hitch with single stick memory.

Normally when a system freezes, I check XMP overclocks, but your CPU and RAM are both rated at DDR5-5200 so they should be OK at 5200MT/s. Mind you I'm still using Windows 10 and I hadn't heard about possible instability with one stick in Windows 11. You could drop back to JEDEC 4800MT/s and see if it improves matters.

As for the 6625MHz maximum frequency, some monitoring programs are over optimistic and don't always indicate the true processor speed. Try a few more apps and see if they all report 6625MHz. Even if they do, I'm not sure I'd believe them. I use Aida64.
