I just saw your clock reads 3800 MHz... The standard setting for the 3600 Ryzen 5 should be 3600 MHz. It looks like you're pushing it beyond that. Are you sure it's being overclocked? If not, bring it back to the default speed and the issues should stop.
This component has another issue—it began restarting even with fully stock clocks after just a few months. I resolved it by setting it to 3800 at 1.150v, which completely fixed the problem. I typically got around 400 restarts per month, as shown in my previous posts. It wasn’t related to overheating; it would restart under light load in about 99% of cases. Running a heavy program for four hours without trouble, then browsing the internet for ten minutes and restarting worked fine. This isn’t connected to TLB errors, since the TLB started appearing after another ten months of use. Overall, it’s a pretty bad chip. Disappointed, to be honest. My last Intel chip is 11 years old and still has no issues after 50,000 hours.
BTW yes, 3600 is the base but it adjusts to 4200. 3800 static should be smooth.
It seems a 3800 static configuration is causing issues on a 3600 chip. It’s definitely a problematic setup. Many people face similar problems, so don’t worry you’re not alone. Have you tried adjusting the static to 3600 and checking if errors persist? Alternatively, repeat the process gradually lowering the settings until errors cease—this will help determine the chip’s condition. Regardless of the outcome, reducing errors can extend the time before failure.
Other than Ryzen Master, all devices display inaccurate voltage and frequency readings.
I disagree. There are tools that display the correct voltages more effectively than Ryzen Master. In my view, these alternatives perform significantly better than Ryzen Master. Ryzen Master hasn't helped me see the right voltages compared to the BIOS. Perhaps it has improved since the Ryzen 5000 was introduced, but I wouldn't rely on RM over the BIOS. AMD should focus on its strengths with hardware and avoid entering the software sector.
I don't mind this chip or the mistakes. I'll request a warranty, it should last about six months. However, I need a device that doesn't require the PC. If the chip functions properly then one day it starts acting up without any changes, I think it's usually a hardware issue. That makes fixing it unnecessary. As long as it doesn't create problems, I'll let it handle things and eventually return it for replacement.
I assumed it would last through the return window, but what if it stops working before then?
