Hello everyone, I just purchased a 3600 model to swap in for my old 1600. The issue is that the system often stutters—like when watching a video, the voice sounds robotic for half a second. I'm using a Gigabyte AB350M gaming 3 as the motherboard and have set my RAM to 16GB at 3000MHz manually. The stutter seems to happen randomly, not just when I'm playing. My Chinabench scores look normal—480 single-thread and 3600 multi-thread—and temperatures stay below 80°C. After reinstalling Windows 10 with all chipset drivers, the problem persists. What else can I try?
Details are complete: Ryzen 5 3600x from Gigabyte AB350m for gaming. 16GB RAM, two Crucial and two Corsair modules at 2400MHz each. Both ran smoothly for two years at 3000MHz on Ryzen 1600. I've used the default BIOS but still noticed stuttering. System includes Nvidia 1080 Ti with a 2SSD and a 3HDD Corsair TX 650W (2008 model).
The BIOS is delivering a higher voltage to that chip. Since it's a stock 95W chip, exceeding its normal operating range might cause issues. The problem seemed to improve after switching to a different board with a higher OCd, eliminating the stuttering. When you run Prime95, does the stuttering become more noticeable or frequent under load?
While idle the voltages r range from 1.069 to 1.450. I plan to test with prime 95 now. During chinebench these are clocks and voltages:
Volts attain easily 1.469 while consuming just 2% CPU usage.
