Question about Ryzen 9800X3D overheating and freezing PC before Event Viewer access.
the bios motherboard is current? windows was just installed with the new cpu? why not adding the extra 8pin?
I plan to install a new one soon. Regarding the 8-pin connector, I expect to purchase a replacement PSU shortly because my current unit doesn't support 16-pin for CPU power.
Initially, having just one 8 pin is more than sufficient for the 9800X3D. If your CPU runs smoothly without the curve optimizer, adding the second 8 pin won’t affect your stability with that setting. It’s free to do, but it probably won’t fix the issue you’re facing.
Setting cores individually is another approach, but every guide suggests using the "all cores" option. I followed that method and achieved stable performance at -10, with temperatures significantly lower than the stock and better performance.
A fresh Windows installation is often suggested for general problems, but it’s unlikely to resolve your specific issue, especially if you’re already stable without the optimizer.
it's not running smoothly
😉
changing the CPU in Windows might cause issues, so reinstalling or refreshing would be my best option. Alternatively, uninstalling cores in Device Manager and rebooting is a simple fix.
which bequiet straight power 11 PSU is it? it might support an extra 4+4 CPU connector.
the latest BIOS version on the motherboard is probably 1L.
I own a Straight Power 11 750W Platinum PSU with BIOS version 1.L0. It doesn't appear to have an additional 4+4 connector for the CPU.
Yes, the 750W model lacks extra connectors, but it should still function reliably. There seems to be something unusual. The cooler fits too snugly on the CPU. Consider updating the latest BIOS version.
Lastly out of work and completed a new windows update with the latest chipset drivers. Discovered AMD's driver page is outdated compared to MSI's for my motherboard. I didn't mention that my PC operated smoothly without PBO before the update.
Currently running a full Y-cruncher core stress test with a -10 curve across all cores. Typically, my system freezes within the first two minutes on an unstable setting, but testing has progressed to eight minutes. I'm hoping this issue is resolved.
I finally managed to verify if I could reproduce the problem on the new Windows install. However, I was able to trigger it again using MH Wild's benchmark even with all cores set to -6. The PC still freezes during a crash instead of shutting down, making it hard to determine which core is responsible.
At this stage, I think it’s best to attribute the issue to a combination of factors—this is likely the game I’m using, which crashes easily at such low voltages, plus some unfortunate hardware luck. There might be other cases I haven’t checked yet, but I’m choosing to accept the loss and keep my CPU at default settings to prevent further annoyance.
Checked Monster Hunter Wilds on release with PBO off and somehow encountered another system freeze. Possibly my CPU is faulty or another component is defective, or in the worst case, multiple parts are bad.
Taking precautions, I submitted an RMA claim for my 9800X3D to AMD. I’m hoping the process resolves quickly so I can resume hunting.
