Hello, I own a 5800X3D processor with a -25 PBO curve. There seem to be occasional stutters or FPS drops in games, but not consistently. It looks like the issue might be related to my PC rather than just software glitches. Recently, I've noticed some lag when using Windows Desktop for browsing and video watching—usually around 1 to 2 seconds of delay. My goal is to highlight that while the video plays normally, my cursor sometimes stutters during playback. I'm using Windows 11, which is up to date, but I'm curious if this is due to an undervolting setting or a bug in a recent Windows update. I've listed my specs for reference. CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D, temperatures around 45-50°C during streaming and gaming (Cyberpunk games peak at ~72°C). RAM: GIGABYTE B550M-DS3H, Kingston Fury Beast 8GB x4 @ 3200MHz CL16. GPU: MSI Ventus 3x RTX 3080 Ti. Storage: Kioxia Exceria G2, 1TB with ~87% lifetime temperature at idle. Power Supply: SHARKOON WPM GoldZero 750W, 80+GOLD.
Consider -20 or -15 degrees. Check the newest bios updates. Download the latest chipset drivers from AMD.
Do you own a Corsair keyboard featuring ICUE? It seems to be leading to several problems recently. Temperatures appear normal. It’s affecting games such as Heroes of the Storm, which are experiencing significant stuttering issues.
It's unclear if this applies, but you can try a simple check: remove the undervolt and see if the issue persists.
No problem, just confirming. You're asking if it's like testing it?
