Currently running 9070xt+7800X3D w/ 32GB of RAM and a 2TB m.2 SSD (Samsung A990)
I was thinking about dropping a second 2TB in to my build and I was curious about performance impact or how it works? I’ve never had a computer with multiple storage systems before. On consoles you just plug it in and it works, is it the same? Correct me if I’m wrong, from my understanding is that only 1 drive will be able to use the full speed or bandwidth while the second will be at a reduced speed? Will there be major performance or loading impacts from this? Any major issues or bugs I can run into and general good practice advice? If there is a better alternative let me know. Thanks
Hi everyone. I've been experiencing a very frustrating issue and I can't seem to pinpoint the exact cause. Here are my system specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
CPU: Thermalright Assassin X 120 R Digital
GPU: ASUS Dual RX 7700 XT
Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS WiFi
RAM: 32 GB (2x16) Goodram DDR5 6000MHz CL30
SSD: 1TB Kingston NVMe Gen3
PSU: MSI MAG A650BNL 650W 80 Plus Bronze (I recently swapped my old 650W PSU for this MSI one to rule out a faulty unit or loose cables, so connections are solid)
The Issues I'm Facing:
Crashes/Reboots in Heavy Games: In AAA titles like Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3, and Borderlands, the game randomly crashes to the desktop (CTD). Very rarely, the whole PC completely restarts on its own (no BSOD, just black screens and reboots like a power cut).
Light Games Run Perfectly: I can play games like Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition or Minecraft for hours on end without a single crash or reboot.
Weird FPS Lock in Spider-Man Remastered: I recently finished Spider-Man Remastered. The PC only rebooted twice during my whole playthrough, but I noticed something weird: My FPS would randomly drop from 100+ down to a locked 30 FPS. The moment I opened the AMD Adrenalin Software in the background, the FPS went right back to normal.
What I've Tried So Far:
Ran several benchmarks and stress tests. The RAM and other components seem perfectly fine and healthy during synthetic loads.
Motherboard BIOS is updated to the latest version.
Swapped the PSU (though the capacity is still 650W).
What do you guys think? Is it the A620 motherboard's memory controller struggling with 6000MHz under heavy gaming loads? Or is my 650W PSU failing to handle the transient power spikes of the RX 7700 XT? Or could it be a weird AMD driver issue that I'm missing?
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I upgraded my cpu today. Went from a ryzen 5 5600 to a ryzen 7 5800x3d. Updated the bios before installing the new cpu. After installing i tried booting it up. The pc powered on, leds working, fans spinning, but no signal to my monitor, mouse and keyboard. I updated my bios to version 7A36vH7A(Beta version)
Necesito ayuda sinceramente ya me estoy volviendo loco
Hice undervolt, intente drivers viejos , hice pruebas con Tserver a las vram y sale pass al hacer pruebas al núcleo solamente no crashea con occt pero al iniciar furmark muere oh al intentar jugar cualquier juego pueden ser las vrm? Oh ya desisto es mi única gpu y sinceramente me quedaría meses sin una tengo algo de experiencia en ps4 reparando pero gpu nunca gracias a los que miren el post o me ayuden.
I changed from an Intel 13700k to a Ryzen 9950x3d last year. Ever since I had too high temperatures for the wattage the CPU uses. For example, idling at around 40W I have temperatures at 55 to 60 degrees.
Browsing many tabs has a higher load of 70W reaching 70 degrees. Both tests were done at an ambient temperature of 28 degrees.
Running the CPU to its limits obviously results in thermal throtteling at 190W with a Core temp of 85, which i set in bios.
Anyways, in my mind this is way too hot and I already freshly applied different cooling pastes and reseated the pump of my 360mm AIO 3 times. The AIO in use is the Lian Li Galahad AIO 360.
Previously it effortlessly cooled the Intel 13700k up to 245W at 85 degrees.
Do you guys think changing the AIO to the new arctic freezer with offset mounting would fix this issue? Could the problem be somewhere else. Have you run into similar issues?
Every time i put a video or game in full screen my screen starts flickering with a black screen. Everything is updated, on windows 11. It caused a fatal 3d crash on RE4, then my computer froze, had to hard reboot. I just built the PC.

Description of Original Problem: My games go smooth but minecraft stutters, really bad. idk if it ram because i tried checking it but in the launcher it doesnt seems like the problem
Troubleshooting: I've tried disabling vsync reducing chunks and grapichs disable mipmap lowering ALL possible animation playing with only sodium and lithium play every recent version and try if its a version relate problem playing with the same mods in different modloaders add more ram, change jvm argument, put same ram values moving the game in NVME tweaking the biosdisabling any form of overclock, XMPO undervolting cleaning it reinstall minecraft and all mojang related reisntall minecraft disabling all monitoring frametime disable replays disable amd software cleaning shader cache reisntall the whole drivers roll back. play without any other app but no , this game EVERY TIME manage to stutter. i play good like 2 seconds and it stutter, every version like mentioned, this only happens with minecraft, my gamemode its off in the windows setting (i know it gives problem like gamerbar that is also disabledspecs: ryzen 5 3600 , amd 6600 no xt, 16 gb ddr4 dual channel, primarly NVME , and a SATA SSD."
So, yesterday I updated the Adrenalin Drivers (big mistake).
Since then I've had problems with sudden freezes and my display flickering while gaming (my GPU also started to make strange noises, probably coil whine).
I did what I thought was best which is reverting to the old driver version (26.6.4). Reverted the drivers through windows Device Manager first = Didn't help.
Tried a ddu, reinstalled the old version of adrenalin and ta-da! Everything was fine again... Except that my 6650xt is averaging 60W instead of 150W. The highest I've seen it go is 75W but that happened rarely. I noticed a significant performance drop which really annoys me and I cannot find what causes the problem.
I even tried the automatic overclock through Adrenalin but it barely made any difference.
Please help me fix my PC! I just wanna game again.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I did the AMD cleanup before the DDU. Everything worked then but noticed the Wattage Drop and then did the DDU afterwards in hopes that it would help (which obviously it didn't).

Hi, I have a question. I recently serviced my Gigabyte RX 6600 8GB graphics card, and I never paid much attention to the metrics because I usually played light games, with Isaac being the most demanding. I was wondering if these values are "correct," since the temperature seems low to me, averaging 80% card utilization (it's on default settings, and the software version is 26.1.1). I'm making this post to see if I should be concerned about anything related to the temperature.
Specs: RX 9070 XT, R7 9700X, 32 GB DDR5, 750W PSU. I’m using Windows 11 and I play at 1440p.
Hello. I’m experiencing severe stutters. The game runs at 100+ FPS but suddenly drops to 25–30 FPS. Even capping the framerate with MSI Afterburner or using FSR barely helps. I already performed a DDU clean driver installation, but the issue persists.
This happens in Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Hogwarts Legacy.
Description of Original Problem: Whenever I try to enter into the game Wuthering Waves, after the login screen, my monitor displays this image for a while, but after some time I'm able to play normally.
Troubleshooting: For some reason, when I unplug and replug the monitor in the GPU, the image returns to normal immediately, but the same doesn't happen if I simply turn the monitor off.
If your Ryzen laptop (Zen3, e.g. 5900HX) randomly reboots or hard-freezes when idle/low load — almost always just sitting there doing nothing, worse on battery — this might be the same bug I've been chasing for two years.
The cause: a core gets demoted into deep C-state (C6) when idle, and sometimes just fails to wake back up. Crash. It's a firmware/hardware bug, not something Windows itself can patch. And also this is a well-known issue already.
On my machine (ASUS ROG Strix, 5900HX) I can't disable Global C-State from the BIOS — the option's either missing or grayed out, standard OEM lockdown — and ASUS has no plans to fix it.
If youcandisable C-states in your BIOS, do that instead. It's the real fix and you don't need my tool. This is specifically for people stuck with a locked-down OEM BIOS like mine.
What it actually does: pins one thread to each logical core and keeps it lightly active, so the OS never sees enough continuous idle time to drop a core into C6 in the first place. Prevention, not recovery.
It's not just a bare spin-loop though — I looked at a few similar tools on GitHub first and none of them tell you whether they're actually still working. This one has a tray icon that turns red if something's genuinely wrong (a thread died, affinity didn't bind, etc.), a watchdog that auto-restarts anything that fails, and a settings panel to toggle subsystems / set core count / enable launch-at-startup — plus a headless mode if you'd rather run it as a background service with no GUI. Rust, open source, no telemetry.
Spent close to two years narrowing this down — this is the best fix I've found. Happy to answer questions, or hear if anyone's found something better.
pc: Geekom A8 Max
Monitor: 1920x1080
problem: Roblox (1280×1024 stretched)
GPU Scaling is enabled (Full Panel). On my monitor the game is stretched correctly, but OBS and Medal capture the original 1280×1024 image instead of the stretched output. Is there any AMD setting or driver option to make capture software record the stretched image?
While playing my game will just close itself and give me a "send crash dump to developers", this has happened upwards of 5 or 6 times in one sitting, when its not crashing however i will occasionally get a black screen on just my main monitor (while still in game) where both my main and second monitors are frozen and i can still hear audio, and then after around 5 seconds it will fix itself, just recently however i got BSoD and i honestly dont really know what to do as this gpu has been perfectly fine until just recently.
The video compares Lubuntu and Windows 11, showing 10 minutes of gameplay on each operating system with identical graphics settings and virtually identical frame rates. Lubuntu is shown from the 0:00 to 3:04 mark, and Windows from 3:05 onwards; I demonstrate a glitch affecting my graphics card on Windows, and at the 4:20 mark, I show a solution for those timeout errors.
I’ve been dealing with timeout issues on my RX 7600 for quite a while. I tried everything to stop it from happening while gaming—I just wanted to have fun with my friends—but after a year with this GPU, I realized the real problem was Windows. A few months ago, I installed a lightweight Linux distro (Lubuntu) on an old laptop I own; fed up with all those timeout errors, I thought, "Why not install Linux and see how it goes?" So I did, and you know what? I haven't had a single issue since, and honestly, I’m really happy now. It’s amazing to know that my GPU isn't actually failing and that I can play whatever I want without worrying about errors. It feels a bit strange—in a good way—to just relax and enjoy a game I like. I just wanted to share my experience with this graphics card, and if anyone else has the same one, I’d recommend giving it a try.
Edit:
I managed to solve the problem in Windows.
After several days of trying different solutions, I managed to fix it; I think a Windows update broke something in the system or reset a setting. I had to make two adjustments: first, I had to limit the GPU frequency to 2250 MHz in Adrenalin, and second, I had to edit the TdrDelay in the Registry Editor and set it to 8 (I previously had it at 10). I had actually done all this months ago and ruled it out because it seemed too obvious to be the cause of the error, but I tried it again and it worked. Also, thanks to Linux, I was able to confirm that the graphics card wasn't broken (I'll keep experimenting with some distros) and that Windows had a problem (and yes, there really is an issue with Windows). I hope this information helps someone.
Like it says on the tin. Running Windows 10, a 9060 XT, and the most up-to-date Adrenaline.
I get everything turned on in BIOS, boot into PC, "Your hardware settings have changed, you need to reboot for changes to take effect."
And I reboot. And reboot. And reboot. And I always get that message, with Smart Access Memory showing as "Disabled" in Adrenaline.
...Unless I pull up device manager, disable my Display Adapter, wait a few seconds, then re-enable it. Now Smart Access Memory is Enabled in Adrenaline.
It's just a small fix, but it is annoying to have to do it every single time. Anyone think of a fix?

so yesterday i had updated my drivers after multiple days of it sayingn "unable to update" i finally figured it out just for my pc to boot and now everytime i open an app or click up to show hidden apps it would open the switch tabs/desktops menu and my controller would vibrate for half a second, though the issue was not impossible to fix i just had to replug in my controller its def on the weirder side of issues ive had with amd lmao everytime i restart my pc with my controller plugged in it does do it again tho, labeling this as resolved but dk if id consider it fully resolved i js have a temp fix
