Could you clarify what you mean? Did you unintentionally slow down something?
Hello everyone, I've been wondering about this thing recently so I tought to ask someone who certainly knows more than me about this. So basically I have an Asus A320m-k motherboard, I had a Ryzen 3 3200 but decided to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 3600, as on the website the new mobo update says that supported too. Seeing videos before upgrading I figured out that it's not the same thing with motherboards that supports the 3600 natively, but stupidly thinking "it works so it's okay" I changed the Cpu and I think I bottlenecked my system seeing sometimes a little stutter both in video games and in the daily use of my pc, so also in the desktop. My question is, is there a way to fix these stutters without changing the motherboard yet? I'm planning to buy a new one but I can't at the moment. I tried a clean Windows install multiple times, different gpu drivers and general windows optimization settings but I still didn't find a solution. My other pc specs are: Hyperx 16GB ddr4 ram 3200Mhz Gtx 980 4gb Thanks for reading and for help in advance.
Which Ryzen 5 3600? There's a few and it changes things for the motherboard: But overall, no. (Also, a Ryzen 5 3400G needs 4801 to work, so you should be fine.) EDIT: The 3200G has the same BIOS requirements. You upgraded your CPU. That should not introduce a bottleneck or stuttering. (I think you're also confused about what bottleneck means.) If you're seeing stuttering now, things to check: CPU Temperatures when it happens. It's possible something's messed up temp-wise and having issues. CPU Load? Is a process misbehaving and killing your cycles? There's no reason to replace your motherboard for this. It will literally change nothing. If you run out of other options, try reinstalling windows.
I upgraded my system to the Ryzen 5 3600 with a 3.6 GHz base clock, which helped stabilize performance. Initially, the motherboard didn’t support that speed, so I suspected a bottleneck might be causing the stutters. Switching to a Cooler Master Hyper 212 cooler improved temperatures to 80+ to 60-70, and the CPU load stayed low in the desktop and games around 70-80%.
Updating the firmware is possible, but you must access the Settings Menu and make certain changes. Proceed with caution, as this could make your system non-functional.
Based on what’s described, I’d start with a clean CMOS setup. After that, check other areas beyond the CPU—especially if you’ve reinstalled Windows. If the CPU wasn’t the problem, the stuttering might be elsewhere. Follow the motherboard manual for guidance.
Thanks, the clear CMOS didn't fully resolve the issue. I notice ongoing micro stutters. My connection seems poor, which might also contribute to the performance drops.
