I have upgraded my computer, but it’s now extremely slow.
I recently changed my computer from an r5 3600 to an r5 7600. Everything appeared normal, it started up and connected to my storage, but I noticed difficulties with File Explorer and Discord loading slowly. Checking HWmonitor showed the CPU idle at 500mhz with a voltage of 0.5v. When I launched Valorant it took about 20 minutes to open and remained stuck at that frequency. I attempted various fixes including resetting the BIOS, adjusting the CPU and SOC voltage to 1.125, but nothing resolved the issue. The voltage increased slightly, yet the clock speed stayed unchanged. It seems the system is capped at 500mhz. I even installed a new OS just in case there were drive issues. Updated the motherboard drives and still faced problems. Temperatures were within normal ranges. Now I’m feeling frustrated but not ready to invest more in another motherboard. My friend suggested it could be the RAM, though I’m unsure. It might be the PSU needing additional pins for the CPU or a faulty motherboard or RAM timing. Here’s what I have: ASUS TUF b650M - plus WiFi R5 7600 DDR5 Corsair RAM 2x32 32-40-40-84 RTX 2060
Choose to reinstall Windows or all drivers. It’s simpler to back up your files and perform a fresh installation. Don’t worry about the reading part.
You're asking about the meaning of "extra 4 pins" and which power supply unit (PSU) you're using. It seems you want to know what the PSU looks like and whether it supports your setup. The note suggests testing with just one RAM stick at the time, without a GPU, and using iGPU support. Updated September 18, 2023 by leclod.
It should work fine on a single 8-pin connector. Consider downgrading the BIOS to version 1601 since it includes the AGESA update. Once updated, you should be able to install one of the never ones.
I don't understand what AGESA does, but I'll definitely give it a shot.
