Ryzen 5000 WHEA issues
Aorus Elite WiFi x570 with BIOS F31o is available at 5950x. Overclocking or PBO G.Skill 3800cl14 4x8G (B-die) isn't possible; down-clocking to 3600 won't even get it to boot with the XMP profile. ProcODT and Volts need manual adjustment. Setting a manual clock to 1900 for IF/3800 RAM works but causes instability. At 3600, about 30 WHEA errors per hour during normal use, with minor fluctuations during benchmarks. Many X570 boards seem to have this problem.
I'm using a brand new 5800X on my system, and everything is running smoothly. No errors at all. The AMD AGESA ComboAM4v2 1.1.0.0 Patch C worked perfectly for XMP RAM. My 3600 had several problems getting that to function.
I'll just leave this message I sent AMD here.... To fix this problem I punched in the following settings manually into PBO: (Main Thing) Set the EDC Current Limit to 200A (Just in case) Set the power limit to 130W (Just in case) Set the temperature limit to 83C (Just in case) Set idle voltage to "Typical" (Just in case) Set Global C-States control to "Disable" (Just in case) Set ECO Mode to "Off" After punching in these settings in the BIOS I was able to turn "Core Performance Boost" back on. I still have a small performance hit from the adjusted power settings but it is not anywhere near as huge as the first method of just turning Core Performance Boost off. It seems that the BIOS on mine and many other people's boards does not know that Ryzen 5000 CPUs have larger peak currents then the previous generations. This trips a sort of "digital fuse" that is set to low. So when changing clocks the CPU tries to draw more current and it hits the EDC current limit and the CPU malfunctions producing the reboots and the WHEA errors. I found this info on reddit, I take no credit for these findings. I however am running a 5950x on a Gigabyte X570 Auros Master. I get WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR and random reboots. So this info may or may not work for you.
