BSOD after CPU swap (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Mistic@lemmy.world to c/pcmasterrace@lemmy.world

I've swapped a CPU going from 5600g to 5900x, unfortunately the system seems to bluescreen from time to time (usually takes hours in-game, otherwise stable)

For some reason it gets slightly worse when I enable XMP. Significantly worse if I undervold the CPU even a bit. Temps go no further than 80-85C under full load.

Would appreciate your thoughts on potential reasons.

Specs:

  • 5900x
  • B550m DS3H (Swapping tomorrow to B550 Tomahawk)
  • 3600Mhz 2x16Gb Kingston Fury (2400mhz if JEDEC)
  • 6700xt Saphire Pulse
  • 750W Zalman GigaMax

Will also be reinstalling Windows after motherboard swap.

Did that, it's in the post. 85C max out of every core under full load. That's without fans ramping up.

Stock temp is also normal, 40-45C.

Plastic cover's off, thermal paste is sufficient. Fans are properly connected, they are facing the right way (at least I hope they are, w/e, will be finding that out soon anyway)

I did swap the fan with the CPU. Current one is Thermaright PA 120.

I am a bit concerned about VRM temps, however. It could be that they give in under extended load. I wonder if undervolting puts an additional strain on those, but why would it if all I do is lessen CPU voltage? (Am new to undervolting, BSOD happens even at stock settings, though)
