Question Upgrade but actually a downgrade.....

Greetings, i'll go straight to the point, my previous components were:

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU - GTX 1650
MOBO - Micro-ATX Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2
RAM - 16gb Corsair Vengeance + 8gb HyperX Fury (the hyperx is optional and the problem persists even without it)
PSU - Kolink 600W Semi Modular 80PLUS Bronze KL-600MV2

I bought a ryzen 9 5900x, msi rtx 4060 and a razer hanbo water cooler, when i installed all the new components i tried to open marvel rivals (which i was having alot of fps problems) and now every 30 secs or less my pc stutters (goes to 1, 2 or 3 fps and comes back to normal) the more i play the worse it gets, it only happens in marvel rivals and yesterday happened in a coop game called dark hours, i already tried everything, checking if i had to get a new psu but seems like it is enough, i checked if the mobo was compatible with the cpu and if updated it is (which i did), my final conclusion was that i should look for another mobo or more ram (and idk why something tells me it can be something about the psu but the chances are slim in my opinion), but im indecisive and i need help to try to figure out whats happening, i wasted some money and my build got worse....

You should look around the forums to see that mixing and matching rams is only going to lead you to a lot of grey hairs. If the Corsair is a dual channel ram kit, you work with that. Also, got a link to the ram kit used?

PSU - Kolink 600W Semi Modular 80PLUS Bronze KL-600MV2
How old is the PSU in your build?

MOBO - Micro-ATX Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2
BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time? FYI, the board you own has a poor VRM design...which isn't what you should be pairing a Ryzen 5000 series processor with.

I bought a ryzen 9 5900x, msi rtx 4060 and a razer hanbo water cooler,
Which variant of the Hanbo do you have? Make and model of your case?

the more i play the worse it gets,
What sort of temps do you see when this happens? Use HWInfo to monitor your temps.

RAM link: https://www.pcdiga.com/componentes/...6-1-35v-preta-cmw16gx4m2c3200c16-843591075381

PSU: about 4yrs in june

MOBO: version f67d, i know i should be using a better motherboard but i saw it was compatible with the upgrade (my main suspicion)

WCOOLER: hanbo version https://www.pcdiga.com/componentes/...-240mm-preto-rc21-01770100-r3m1-8886419337805

CASE: Hollow Series 2500, White Camouflage

TEMPS: To be honest never really seen the temp but it was around 80ºC

Most noticable thing ive seen while monitoring was the ram, but as soon as i inserted the hyperx stick it went kinda ok

80°C while gaming with that CPU is high! Are you sure the pump is working? Did you remove the plastic cover off the bottom of the pump/heatsink?
 
Isn’t a 5900x a dual ccd part with six cores per ccd? Maybe you could use process lasso to pin your game to one of the ccds. If I recall correctly the latency between ccds is pretty high so you want to keep all threads of a game on a single ccd if possible.
 
Run HWiNFO64 (sensors only, logging on) in the background while you game. Regular stutters/hitches can be indicative of temperature-related issues.
Play the game for at least 30 mins and then check the HWiNFO64 log. If you upload the log somewhere we can get at it, others can check it out too.

yes i've removed the plastic and the pump is working, i dont know if it is because i have the razer app off and everything in the minimum so it can be more silent. i even added more thermal paste because i was getting around 90ºC but right now normal temperature without games on i get around 65ºC and with games it can get around 80ºC

unfortunatly ive never heard about that :sweatsmile: i'll try to investigate about that, thank you
 
If you add the extra stick it will be used in single channel only (in other words accessing that stick will be slower). The 2x8G kit will be still be accessed as dual channel.

Try turning the fans to full, even if only for 10 minutes while the pc is idle and playing your games, note the temps from HWinfo.

Does the resting temp come down? By how much?

Try resetting BIOS to defaults and then enable XMP.

Use only the 16gb ram in slots a2-b2

is there any way to export hwinfo results so u guys can see them? i played for around 30mins and seems like i got average temperature to 80ºC and max 88ºC....
and the max value for thermal throttling was yes (idk what that means exactly)
