Ryzen 5000 WHEA issues
Ryzen 5000 WHEA issues
I have dual-rank configurations that perform well under stress. A video from GAMER Nexus compared 2x8GB versus 4x8GB and suggested the latter might provide superior performance. The single-rank version at 4x8GB is quite comparable to a 2x16GB dual setup. That’s my current grasp of the topic.
Performance varies a lot depending on where you check it. For my needs, 2x8 CL14 at 4000mhz A2 PCB looks solid. However, I use a different memory setup and focus on high-speed testing for benchmarks.
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master rev1.2 BIOS vF31j (AMD AGESA ComboV2 1.1.0.0 C + re-size bar/SAM) paired with Ryzen 5950X experiences random crashes under light usage—such as opening an app or a new tab. No blue screen occurs, only intermittent failures during minimal tasks. Benchmarks and full loads remain stable. OCCT testing lasted five minutes without problems. However, it failed two seconds after stopping the test; error details are in the attached Event Viewer WHEA entry. PBO is active, XMP enabled. Same problem with PBO advanced; I’ll disable it tomorrow. Edit: It seems reproducible by launching Cinebench within moments of startup.
Created a fresh setup using Asus Rog Dark hero and Ryzen 5900x. Encountered numerous WHEA errors related to the processor core. Attempted to apply a locked overclock at roughly 4.3 GHz, and the system remained stable for nearly three days. Crashes also appeared under light usage before this upgrade, not during games or tests.
