Hi everyone! This is a total first time. First time posting here, and first time experiencing a problem like this, usually stuff is solvable, but currently I'm out of ideas Everything, except the GPU is totally new: MSI MPG B550-i Gaming Edge Wifi Max MSI GeForce 3080 TI Ventus Ryzen 5800x Corsair Elite Capellix H100i (with Noctua NF-A12x25 fans) Corsair SFX 750W Platinum PSU Kingston Fury KF3600C16D4 (2x 16GB), XMP profile 1 enabled Crucial P5 Plus NVMe 2TB Monitor Huawei MateView GT connected via DP USB SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless + Basestation Spoiler Temps All inside Case Lian Li A4 H20 Spoiler Things enabled in BIOS: Spoiler THE PROBLEM Whenever the system has been run for 30m or something (or maybe when coolant is ~32c something) the sound starts to crackle and scramble. Video with sound: IMG_1075.mp4 (when I open Firefox, it really slows down, crackles) IDEAS / THOUGHTS I'm currently making a Kali bootable to test it under Linux, currently it's running on Windows 11, everything latest Package temps are somewhat high, under normal operations (Brave, Spotify, Thunderbird, iCUE) ~55c +/-10c, load ~3%, ambient 24.6c, coolant 31.5c. I've repasted 3 times, all times kinda sameish temps AM4 / Corsair mount with those loops, is stupid (I think the tension is ok, I screwed both max, and not further) WHAT HAVE I TRIED SFC checked disk checked RAM (using windows utility) tried to disable XMP and Precision Boost Overdrive changed Corsair supplied RGB fans to Noctua NF-A12 enabled spread spectrum Sorry for typos English isn't my native.

The only clear observation at the moment is that the PSU struggles under heavy loads since it isn't sufficient for what is basically a 3090 model. There doesn't seem to be any obvious major problem beyond that.
Another idea comes to mind, yes. Using a GPU (400w, actual 350w) plus a CPU (official 145w, PBO around 200w) leaves roughly 150-200w available for peak usage. A 750w setup should suffice. Updated: I'm installing Linux from USB NVMe to USB NVMe and noticing odd stalls. Completing the install took about 10 minutes—should be under 2 seconds. Network hardware seems to take around 10 minutes. Update 2: The final installation didn't complete at all. I had to power off the machine completely. At least switching the PCI_E1 switch from Gen4 to Gen3 helped somewhat. At least SuperPi95 and Furmark ran smoothly. I'm planning to play a game and test it out.
Have you considered possible fixes for your issues? A faulty motherboard, GPU, or BIOS could all affect performance.
The update could actually assist with switching from Gen4 to Gen3. Have you verified if your RAM is at capacity during this issue? The FTPM module and Windows posts I wrote about this problem on Windows 11/10. Have you looked into the condition of your SSD? S.M.A.R.T data and your SSD software should indicate whether it’s still functioning properly.
Updating the BIOS from MSI (this board) just switched back to gen4 and booted up. The system started crackling, which coincided with the Windows logon sound. RAM appears fine at startup, though 32GB is quite a lot. My thought? Accepting it now, since these firmwares and support were available when they launched. Also, I don’t really like Windows—before version 11, some recommended using Windows 10, which isn’t an option. Mac/Linux user/developer/sysadmin (*NIX please) SMART reports are normal, but it’s a bit misleading to say otherwise. The firmware on the drive should be up-to-date.
Turn off the module, that should be my answer. To be truthful, I never even turned it on. Grab CinebenchR23 and see what happens. Compare the score with another 5800X. How do you get sound? Is it through HDMI or a jack plug from behind your PC? Right now, I think the motherboard is having issues.
Yes, I understand you're using Windows 11. That's okay. Those two components are crucial because in the past, sound relied on a jack connection, and unstable power sources can affect audio quality. USB and DP use separate chips—analog versus digital. Run the browser test and verify your CPU core speed through HWMonitor. If performance drops afterward, adjust your power plan via System Settings, switch to full power, and retest.
