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.

    First thing that comes to mind is to maybe try flashing/updating your bios? Obviously you have a version compatible with 5000 series CPU’s, but perhaps there is a newer version with bug fixes for this issue?

    Hope to see an update if you figure it out. Good luck!

      Could be, there are newer versions that I didn’t bother upgrading to (namely the security patch after a big loophole was found)

      If that’s the case, mobo swap will be solving it regardless then. Will be updating the post if I find the root of it.
