AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

New Amd Chipset Driver
  1. Runs processor with lower boost sensitivity at idle and low load scenarios with 15ms boost interval instead of the aggressive 1ms boost interval

  2. "Idle" cores that are not sleeping now sit at close to base clock frequencies on standby to be boosted (this is the new idle frequency). When boost requests from high load applications occur, cores will boost at the aggressive 1ms interval

  3. Temporary workaround for Destiny 2
What it means: Idle temps and voltages will fall compared to previous Ryzen Balanced plan. Temporary workaround for Destiny 2 implemented, pending a more comprehensive fix through AGESA 1.0.0.3ABB which is undergoing QA checks with bios manufacturers.

New Ryzen Master
  1. Previously, Ryzen Master reports the highest temperature on any one of the sensors on the cpu regardless of how brief it might be sustained, thus overstating temperatures.

  2. New Ryzen Master now reports the average of the entire chip, reflecting a more accurate state of the entire chip.

  3. Voltages reporting are undergoing the same change.
What it means: Reported temps and voltages in Ryzen Master are going to fall to be more realistic and holistic.
 
Not sure if this sufficiently answers your queries on the WHEA errors
OK, this is even worse. Errors are real, although they get caught and corrected. These may be trivial, but wasn't a common occurrence before Ryzen 3000.
And solution is to supress the logging of these errors...
 
Thought Id ask here. Just been using my new 3900 rig to render a short benchmark video using Resolve. The editing process was lovely and snappy, a real joy, but when I went to render it, it crashed. I tried different formats but it kept crashing. I opened task manager and noticed that 40% of my 16GB of RAM was being used. So I restarted, and closed down as many programs as possible until I had about 85% free. It then rendered a 720p youtube vid no probs at all.

So I highly doubt it's a Ryzen problem, but in your opinion, would it be a conflict with a background program, or is a straight CTD during a render par for the course when you run out of memory?

Just installed the chipset update. About 70 points lower (4723) on Cinebench R20 multicore, boosts lower but consistently to 4GHz, maxes out the PPT, TDC and EDC which it didn't before. Single core highest I saw was 4.399GHz, score 12 points lower (488).

Quick test isn't convincing me. Anyone else tested it yet?

I wriote 3 posts about this. Stability is also WORSE I'm around 100points in cb20also loosing points in geekbench

Looks like it might be a while before everything gets optimised...more power use but lower clocks and score seems odd if I'm reading Ryzen Master correctly?
 
I find it funny that people are complaining about performance loss. AMD made it pretty clear that the new voltage/frequency switching behaviour is to appease people who were worried about voltage and frequencies spiking so often. Taming that will obviously result in performance loss.

Odd thing is I see 0.2v lower but higher temps, Power and current but lower clocks. Same scores on Ryzen balanced or Ryzen Performance power plan. The previous voltages didn't bother me, if AMD tell me that's normal who am I to question them?

Edit: Idling at 37°C and around 1.0v

It should not have effect on scores when you are running Loop of benchmark. Like i got my cb set to run 4 times in row. And all 4 scores are lower not just first one that would make sence. Also.im on manual fixed voltage and all core overcick. So thise changes should nott have any effect on me.
And i i mentioned heavy load stability is also worse.
 
For what it's worth, my idle desktop temperature is much more stable in the low 30s now. Obviously that's because they've changed what the value actually is but there you go. My Cinebench score dropped by ~2% but my x265 Benchmark score rose by ~0.5% with the chipset driver update.

Just running CPU-Z shows idle frequencies of 3.6 GHz and idle voltage all over the place. Ryzen Master shows idle frequencies dropping to as low as 200 MHz before entering "sleep" states and voltages jumping between 0.3 and 0.8 V typically.
 
Have you reset the bios bridging the pin on the motherboard? Have you got the RAM in the recommended slots? My MSI board (B450 pro carbon) took a few reboots to finally recognise my 3600 - are you leaving it long enough before thinking it has failed and manually resetting?

Just a couple of random thoughts.
Kept turning it off and on a few times and eventually it booted...I did not expect it to work, but it did!
 
Seems to have worked for a few people on Reddit. One person mentioned deleting all the AMD plans before installing the updated chipset driver.

I might do it over weekend.
