Lol, yes and Unigines Valley, Cinebench, Aida 64 - all great games.

BF1 - solid choice.

Do you like RTS type games - if so StarCraft 2 or Company of Heroes 2 are great and would tax the system.

TBH, play games, watch YouTube, browse - general usage is the ultimate test for stability - if it's stable you'll have zero issues. However, any freezes, screen flickers, reboots or the dreaded BSOD post back immediately with details of what you were doing at the time.

Ive just had my first issue.

I loaded up The division and started the first level, after a couple of minutes I wanted to check the settings and the resolution was 2560x1440p and 75hz, I also checked graphics and shadow settings these were on high a couple on Ultra. I changed them all to Ultra and one of themto Nvidia NPCSS (or something like that) I then had to restart the game for the setting to take effect and went back into the game. I quickly checked that the settings had set and they had except one, Graphics, this was now set to Custom? I changed toultra and went back in to the game. After running around for a couple of minutes I pushed the left menu button on the xbox controller and the screen went black! I check the unit and all the lights inside had gone out, the only light still on was the power button. I turned everything off, PSU switch and wall switch, gave it a minute and turned it all back on again. It light up and then went off again and then on again, it then stayed on and rebooted as normal. Any ideas what happened??

Have you ran any stress tests monitoring temps?

Could also be the memory - may need dropping to 2933MHz for testing.

Have you got Afterburner installed?

First, run a stress test and monitor CoreTemp while it's running - after 5 minutes post back with temps.

EDIT: Run CPU-z and look at memory tab - what does it read (frequency)?

Its dropped to 1064.1mhz it was 1596.2 earlier?

This should solve your issue - it's an easy fix (hopefully).

Nothing wrong with running at 2933MHz - you won't notice any speed difference and it can be tweaked later (if possible).

The system memory multiplier is set to auto and i cant change it.

If i disable xmp the mem freq drops to 2133mhz and if i set xmp to profile 1 the mem multiplier changes to 3200mhz (I had it on Profile 1) but both option have the mem multipler set to auto and it cajt be changed?
 
  • Select M.I.T. Tab
  • Select Advanced Frequency Setting
  • Scroll/Find X.M.P. (Extreme Memory Profile)
  • Click and select Profile 1
  • you should then be able to adjust the multiplier to 29.33
 
Ram can board are good , just cpu IMC which is solved with voltage and overclock

But as plec set, xmp with ratio set lower .

Use the Minus on your keyboard number pad just hit Minus once and will drop from 32 to 29
 
@orbitalwalsh @Plec

Morning Chaps!

That’s done, it wasn’t the minus key, you have to actually type the value in using the key pad.

I’m going to run the division again and see what happens?

Edit: in CPUz it now shows 1463.2mhz which is pretty much half of the new value set in the bios! I’m guessing this is good? Let see what happens in the division.

yep thats pretty much 3000hz :)

im sure the Division has a benchmark tool to! should be able to run it without having to go into a game all the time

you can have fun overclocking the CPU too!

Hi @orbitalwalsh, I'm a little scared to start doing that at the moment:) Am i right in thinking my CPU runs at 3.6 and I can only put it up to 3.7 on the stock cooler?

Quick one, I division running last night, I downloaded it through Uplay, it was about 80% downloaded when I played it last night and the PC shut down.

This morning Ive tried to load it up again and it started the download from scratch?? Any ideas what's happened here?

it runs up to 3.6ghz and it may not run it at all cores , why manual overclocking is key to making ryzen good- It may run all six cores at 3.4Ghz when it could handle them at 3.9ghz etc. basically your telling the PC to run all cores at max regardless if they need to or not in a loose term .

I dont tend to run games whilst they are down loading

when you say shut down? your were gaming and it crashed? was this when ram was set to 3200hz speed and not what you've now set it to, 2933hz ?
