You observed a change in the LED display before the board code switched to AA, indicating a possible boot status update. The current reading of 9E suggests the system is functioning correctly with TPM support, which may signal proper BIOS operation. This information could be useful for troubleshooting or confirming hardware health.
I experienced frequent crashes with the Nvidia GPU as well. The system wasn’t flawless and I faced many issues with unstable overlocks on the 3070. I was tired of these problems and considered a BIOS update might help since the original BIOS was quite new when the Ryzen 5K and 6K GPUs were introduced, suggesting possible performance improvements. I’m certain the Radeon GPU isn’t causing the issue at all—it’s likely a software problem. Stop pretending you care about a company that profits from overcharging while charging less for quality hardware. Just like AMD does… That’s how it works. Nvidia doesn’t listen to your opinions either, so get ready for needing a 1200 watt power supply for the 4000 series GPUs, lmao. And AMD probably will too—just don’t act like a fanboy, cringe…
It seems your initial comment suggested using Nvidia as a reliable option, while AMD is seen as problematic. You’ve shared some feedback but haven’t addressed the specific issues I’m facing. It looks like you were trying to switch to an AMD GPU despite it not being the root cause, and you’re now questioning why you joined the discussion at all.
Have you considered performing a complete system reset or adjusting the BIOS settings?
AMD faces certain challenges with TPM. If you're not using W11, simply turn it off in the BIOS settings. https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers-sof...ue#M152668 Running PBO and Adrenaline wouldn't be unexpected if there are compatibility problems. You're attempting to run two different operating systems on your CPU while they interfere with each other. It's better to choose one or the other. I've used BIOS PBO without issues, especially with my 5800x not crashing. Next, I'd consider downgrading the BIOS version and testing for stability. My assumption is that Adrenaline fully replaced the old BIOS, or perhaps it had no effect and let PBO handle things on its own. The newer versions seem to be causing conflicts and I'd prefer sticking with software or hardware fixes.
I tried several approaches. I flashed the second oldest stable (non-beta) version, since that’s what ASUS lists as the latest when problems started. But something failed—after flashing, the “favorites” screen was blank and docp couldn’t be enabled. I tried enabling it manually and then restarted; on reboot I got a 00 error, no POST, and the system didn’t respond. I feared I’d permanently damaged it.
I re-downloaded the newest stable bios onto my USB drive and installed them. It worked—I could access the BIOS and successfully reflash the latest version. Then I managed to turn on DOCP correctly, only changing a few settings: enabled PBO with a +200 maximum override and activated SAM by toggling PCIE settings (this helped with older 2020 BIOS).
I ran Cinebench now, but it’s running much slower than before—especially on my old Dell 2002 Pentium III system. I’m not using Adrenaline except for GPU tuning and enabling the metrics overlay. I haven’t opened Ryzen Master since this reflash, so it should be using the BIOS PBO settings.
Currently, single-core performance is up to 4.8, but multicore still feels sluggish, capping around 4.1–4.2—much lower than the 4.4–4.5 I had previously. My multicore scores on CB23 are now 13.5k instead of the 19k I was achieving earlier. It looks like the all-core boost feature isn’t working properly, though single-core results have improved. Progress is being made.
However, there’s a concern: during a recent multi-run on CB23, my voltage stayed at 1.4 under load (only dropping to 1.0–1.2 when under stress). Temperatures reached 80°C on my Gallahad 360, nearly reaching its maximum temperature on this AIO. It was drawing about 116 watts continuously. It peaked around 90°C before. I’m planning to adjust the fan curves and ensure the pump runs at full speed, but those voltages are still worrying.
Begin with Ryzen Master, but you can locate AMD drivers and apply them using a workaround. https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/...rx-6800-xt
