I replaced my CPU and GPU, trying to confirm which one was causing the issue. The problem appears to be resolved after removal of the overclock settings. Thanks in advance.
complete system specifications are available, including the PSU make and model.
R5 1600 @4 GHz and 1.475 volts, Gigabyte B450 mobo, 16 GB Corsair Vengeance (not dual channel), RX 570 at maximum power with no temperature changes, voltage stays at 1400 MHz on core clock and 1900 MHz on memory clock, equipped with an 80 plus 500W Thermaltake PSU, along with a hyper T2 cooler and four case fans already installed.
It's a bit surprising given my lack of expertise with Ryzen, but 1.475v appears quite high, possibly indicating significant damage.
Umm yeah. Ryzens can manage up to 1.5v with minimal current draw, essentially nothing beyond basic web surfing. At higher currents, it drops to 1.325v and that's still uncertain depending on the actual power being drawn. For a straightforward 4GHz OC, expect around 1.2v.
HyperT2 performs worse than the standard cooler, with lower wattage capacity.
80+ 500w TT psu?
Looking at the options—cooler choice, single 16Gb drive, and the poor TT psu—I just need to ask: are you sure you don’t really want this PC, or are you trying to damage it?
