Hello there folks, I decided to buy new desktop build, because since 2013 i was on laptops since i came to Englad to find life opportunities ^^ My Alienware totally or almost died at 2016 and since 2016 to nowadays i was working/playing etc on my MSI laptop GT73 VR... so long 7 years cpu dunno what, but 1080 gpu and i can still play all of games released nowadays ^^, but it's not that topic.... Because i was lucky i could buy my dreamy super tower desktop Cooler Master C700M (used one but with reasonable price) case and it was one of the main reasons why i decided to build some proper gaming build... I decided to hear answers to buy build from experienced folks and bought altogether this build...

Now about my problem....

Since the very first start my system was booted to the bios which i had to reset, because there was some error due to decryption or dunno what (Windows wasn't installed yet), i googled it and there was written as a brand new desktop build, simply reset bios... So i did it... When i powered on my desktop it was booted normally to bios and i was there. Temperatures, hdw check was correct, everything set to default but unfortunately from 30 secs to 2 minutes the signal to monitor went off and my keyboard switched off too... Cpu Cooler was spinning, same for GPU... Power Button on case doesn't work so what i had to do was turn off PSU and get it back... Friend of mine told me check BIOS version and update it if anything, so i did. It worked for one day.... I tested 4 games, but not for vely long - WoW which i play mostly, but only for about hour, Firewatch for about 30 minutes - these games seemed ok, but I installed God of War and after aprox 5 minutes game freezed during cutscene and i had to reset whole PC as it was unresponsible... Another game i tried it was Kingdom Come Deliverance - same problem, played for about hour and game freezed and had to switch PSU and get it back.... (all of those games were set on ULTRA - checked temperatures and clocks - everything great, CPU about 60 C, GPU 60-65 C). The worst is, that my build frozen while simply surfing and using Google Chrome... That was rly bad.... Besides that i noticed because my motherboard has 4 lights flashing when something ain't right (GPU,CPU,RAM,BOOT), that my CPU was flashing red... I decided to test a few things... First of all i removed CPU cooler, removed CPU from socket, everything cleaned it up, put cpu again in to MOBO, do litle movement just for proper sit cpu to MOBO, repaste, and.... It worked for aprox one day, meanwhile i tested my memory modeles separately and always in another slot - 100% succes, so ram modules seems very ok. Btw after i removed and get back cpu back my MOBO doesn't indicate anymore CPU LIGHT error... So what i did afterward... Did CPU stress test via Prime95 - FATAL ERROR on my 12th core (check image)



Then i got more ERRORS while testing another time on more cores etc etc etc....

p.s. forgot to write here my temperatures while stress testing cpu were stable at 95 C for more than 3,5 hours,m but i as have seen 90-95 should be ok for this new ryzen gen

Edit:// Just got a message from Repair Center - posting it here


It seems the PC is fine as it is a new AMD architecture platform.
Unfortunately, all users will have some problems due to DDR5, memory compatibility, or overheating CPU like these ryzen processors are designed to operate over 90 degrees plus constantly.
The GPU on its own draws over 420W plus CPU , all fans might exceed your 850 W rating. The Power supply you have may not be enough.
Our technician got a system with 7950x and uses a dual tower air cooler and his temperature is lower than the test we did on your PC.
We changed the thermal paste on your processor, but there was no improvement due to the single fan and single tower air cooling.
On ryzen 7000 CPU is recommended to undervolt the CPU socket so you get a lot lower temps and more.

Recommendations: a power supply of 1000W+ and getting a 360mm.aio or at least dual tower air cooling with a dual fan for a push-pull configuration. Right now the PC got a single fan and the temperatures are exceeding 95 degrees result of the tests.

Hello and tx for reply

I have MOBO with version F3 which was released as a the lates one. Anyway, due to my calculation it's not physicaly possible that it would do 'weak' PSU as when i did stress test of cpu it cause only CPU to be very loaded, not rams, not gpu etc... Besides that testing showed like energy consumption of CPU about 175W and even if u put everything at the same time together, it's not possible by my opinion, that it would exceed PSU 850W.... 420W GPU + 180W CPU + something on ram, coolers mobo etc and it's not possible to get over 850W.... Not to mention i would never be propably able to test every hdw at the same time on 100% usage!

Aio Cooler - yes i bet it could be better choice than tower, but honestly as we all know thanks to folks like Gamer Nexus and others check out what they say
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRaJXZMOMPU or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIv3CpYVNo0&t=1262s
so for me as i have stable 95 C temperature doesn't matter what cooler i would change it for by my opinion

After BIOS update it just asked me if i want to reset bios after boot to default so i did, i haven't cleared cmos

------------------------------------------------------------------

on reddit some folks described something similiar

Helped to him cpu replacement

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now i am highly thinking about support contact and send MOBO and CPU to OC UK for further testing and if faulty, would ask for replacement....
Tomorrow i am planning to undervolt GPU, put RAM modules to default 4800MHz and run test, but i highly doubt it will be success
 
Be careful with power ratings. They refer to continuous power. Both CPUs and GPUs can consume far more over very short periods due to surge current. The issue arises as to whether or not the PSU can cope with the surges. Unfortunately in the consumer space it is very difficult to find details on this. One brand of PSU might cope whereas another might not. The safe option is to use a higher continuous rating than you need in order to ensure that that the PSU can cope with the surges. That's why experienced gamers will generally advise a 1kW+ PSU for high end gaming systems - it is from experience.

Having said that if the OP's system has crashes or hangs in low power states then it is not a power or thermal issue. Based on the previous mobo CPU error LED and the error messages then it would seem that investigating the CPU further is a good idea. Are there any interesting entries on the Windows event log? Particularly WHEA errors.
Just checked my event log and not a single WHEA error SINCE my first power on... Had only BSODs

and just today i tested for 2 minutes CPU via Prime95 blend test and i got FATAL errors on 7 cores....
