Massive stutter since upgrading to 5800x?
Maybe someone here can point me in the right direction with this. So I recently picked up a r7 5800x since I found one for $80 at Game Exchange (who knew they sold pc parts?), so I figured why not. Already had a 5600x, so it's a little bit of uplift, and I…
Maybe someone here can point me in the right direction with this. So I recently picked up a r7 5800x since I found one for $80 at Game Exchange (who knew they sold pc parts?), so I figured why not. Already had a 5600x, so it's a little bit of uplift, and I figure I'll actually make a little when I turn around and sell my old cpu. Issue is that since putting the 5800x in my system, I get massive bursts of microstutter. Thought it was maybe my psu not keeping up with power delivery since the 5800x has a higher tdp, so I upgraded to a 750w. I run a RX 6800, so that should easily cover my needs. But still getting microstutter. Tried reseating and repasting in case it's a connection or heat transfer thing. Still stutter. Checked my bios. Good there. Took off my overclock/undervolt off my gpu incase that was part of the issue. Still stutter. Last guess is I need to hardwipe and reinstall old cpu drivers. Anyone else have any advise for direction? When I say huge bursts, I mean about a solid second of stutter and power demand and clock speeds drop. That could indicate a lot of things though. I also question if my bottom end b550m could be an issue with this cpu. No heat spreaders or add ons with this thing

My guess would be that this is RAM-related.
32gbs DDR4 3600mhz
78 at max. Higher than I'd like. This cooler is a bit light for the 5800x, but it shouldn't be causing this much of an issue
78 is fine
Yeah, finally popped it back in and all is resolved. My guess is the previous owner overclocked and potentially cooked the 5800x a little. Seems like when the clock speeds ramp up, it can no longer run them stably
I'd see if your chipset driver is up to date, and that XMP is on in bios. Flashing an updated bios wouldn't go amiss. Temps are good?
You could try setting the cpu tdp limit lower.
Did you try putting the 5600x back in? If you put it back in and all your problems go away, then return the 5800x.
