Check your CPU's timing consistency by observing performance stability and looking for irregular delays.
Check your CPU's timing consistency by observing performance stability and looking for irregular delays.
Hello, So I've been playing Risk of Rain 2 and received a lot of crashes. After a talk with the tech support they have, they believe the issue is either with my RAM or CPU. My RAM has been tested multiple times with Memtest86, Testmem5 and HCI Design Memtest7 and there were no errors to be found. My CPU has been stress tested with Prime95 for about 3 hours and the computer didn't crash, but when I sent a GIF of my clocks, he said it looked inconsistent and that's why the game was crashing. Here's a 30 second gif I recorded from CPU-Z: Link here It does look like it's jumping around core speeds, but I'm not sure what's normal and what's not. BTW, nothing is overclocked. Rest of the gear: OS: Win 10 Pro CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 Motherboard: ASUS TUF B450M Plus Gaming Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Graphics Card: EVGA RTX 2070 Super PSU: Antec EA750G Pro 750W Gold Hard Drives: Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD
All modern CPUs dynamically adjust their clock frequency all the time, depending on load, temperature, and power limits. This is completely normal behavior.
