Unusual performance issues with the processor.
Unusual performance issues with the processor.
Hey, I have a ryzen 3600 (undervolted to 1.25v @ 4.025 Ghz ) for about a year now. Those settings were well stable with stress when I first set up. Never had an issue (and I always keep an eye on my task manager) until now that I caught the second time (in a week or so) doing this where Core#0 just "dies" randomly, where the usage (of that core) is between 0 and 3% from there until I restart it. I don't have a clue if this is a visual bug, some bug on windows, a driver, a CPU clock problem, or even an Application causing it, and I can't find anything online about this weird behaviour. I don't notice apps crashing nor much of a performance hit in real world, well, because it's "only" 9%. Task manager and HWMonitor shows that core between 0 and 5% when both idling and/or stressing. Weirdly, Core#0 still shows that is consuming some Watts as on HWMonitor (probably for the second thread). Like I said, a restart fixes it temporarily until it happens again (within a few days) until this happens out of nowhere and I need to restart it again. Please help.

The central processing unit remains unaffected during gaming sessions.
The game operates correctly, and the PC does not crash. If it runs smoothly, it indicates no sensor issues.
Okay then its definitely a sensor fault then, my pet peeve of AMD CPU's is this type inconsistency happens with them is they are well made but the thing that seems to be consistently cheaped out on is sensors for them. AMD CPU's otherwise are 98%of the time almost perfect just QoL stuff seems to take a back seat for the pure performance. As to the issue of the sensor and issue with it not registering atm core #0 then is not knowing if its ACTUALLY died... But by the time that core actually dies hopefully you have saved up enough to replace or get a new CPU.
Dead sensor = CPU will die completely soon? Well, I still have 1 year left from warranty... If this is a hardware problem I will RMA it. RIP work until I get a new CPU though.... If I set up a 12 core VM, same thing happens on the examples above.
