If anyone could give me any advice or guidance I would truly appreciate it. At the end of last year I saved up and built myself a new PC replacing my old AM3 build only reusing my PSU and GPU, I build an all new AM5 build. I have had stability issues with changing anything in the bios beyond optimized default and enable DOCP. Enabling PBO in any way will cause BSOD or non-boot, attempting to use the curve optimizer to under-volt causes a boot loop (single or all core) even at lower numbers like -20, -18 etc. I feel like I’m driving a sports car in valet mode. The PC is stable at default but I feel like something is off. My temps are cool at most 70(during heavy extended use) CPU wattage stays around 70-90w max. Cinebench R23 multi core score averages over several tests 21938. RAM is configured in slots 2&4 currently my guess is the ram but even with the ram not running at 6000Mhz the CPU usage is the same. Unless I can figure something out I’m thinking I should replace the ram with a kit that has a profile in the BIOS (my current ram is listed in the compatible list from ASUS website)



What I’ve done troubleshooting-

  1. I’ve fresh installed windows a total of 3 times win11, win10, win10. (64bit)
  2. I’ve followed several YouTube Bios settings guides (all fail)
  3. I’ve updated / cleared the BIOS many times (it’s Changed a few times sense initial setup currently on the most current 1905)
  4. I’ve checked every connector several times.
  5. The GPU is stable and operating correctly
  6. Always updated the AMD chipset drivers from ASUS
  7. Game bar is updated and working
  8. Windows is fully updated
  9. Minimal software installed
  10. I’ve double checked the CPU is seated and new thermal paste
  11. I’ve set the manual max temp to 88 to check thermal throttle but it never gets close to that temp.

Something to keep in mind, a CPU must be compatible with a MB whereas the RAM has to be compatible with both the CPU and the MB, this because a MB can be compatible with faster CPUs than the one in your list of parts and MB manufacturers often state RAM speeds that far exceed that which any compatible CPU can handle, this is misleading at the least or dishonest at worst

The RAM is not appropriate for your CPU, AMD state here up to 5200MHz/MT/s and if you have EXPO/XMP enabled the RAM will get auto OCd past what the CPU can handle and the PC will become unstable.

You should also make sure that the Windows Power Plan is set to Balanced and not High Performance or Ryzen Balanced.
