I built a 1700x Ryzen cpu in a MSI tomahawk MB..
My cooling is a coolermaster 120 liquid cooler. it was the only one out and the time for the AM4 platform. is is undercooling about 57 - 70 c. I have a coursair 240 on order.
I play farm simulator 2017 and I cant stand to play it on this new computer. the fps are all over the place from 25 - 40. Ive clean installed the drivers on the NVIDIA 1070 3 times.
what is od is I tried a MSI radion 470 graphics card I had and it fixed it. Then the next day or so It had the same problem with that card. I put the NVIDIA back in cleaning the radion drivers off and such and it worked fine again for a day or so then the problem came back. the game runs great on my other computer with the AMD FX cpu and MSI gaming MB with a NVIDA 960 graphics.

Im really hoping I can get the Ryzen build working it is so disappointing.
I wondered if the VMRs were hot and throttling or something. the board is not top end but none of the top end boards for Ryzen were are in stock.
Any suggestions on what I can do?

Live Update should connect to all of the correct drivers but i never trust auto-update features. there should be BIOS, Chipset, Audio, USB, LAN, and a few other latest updated drivers available from the motherboard's product page. try updating all of these available manually.

uninstall any graphics driver packages through Windows. then use DDU to remove any GPU drivers or residual files.
after cleaning and restart install the latest graphics driver package directly from Nvidia or AMD, whichever card you are going to be using.

this should remove any concerns regarding driver issues.

the memory is Hyperx memory kit 16gb 4 x 4 2666 CL 15
power sup: SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold (SS-650KM Active PFC F3) 650W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD.
boot drive crusial M.2

I put the MSI Radeon RX 480 DirectX 12 RX 480 GAMING X 4G 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support ATX Video Card back in and it works fine.

The other problem im having is with the USB farm sim steering wheel and game controller not working properly on this build.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition, 08G-P4-5173-KR, 8GB GDDR5, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) card was purchased January 4th 2017 and is not to old. Ill have to test it in my other PC.

When I put the Radeon back in there was no need for drivers so could there be a driver conflick between the 2 cards some how?

are you sure you have properly manually installed all Ryzen motherboard's latest MSI drivers from MSI product page? having not done so would explain the USB problems and could explain the GPU problems being due to not having proper chipset drivers installed. unless you do discover some missing drivers or existing conflict, i would say this build is possibly infected. check your processes during these fps drops and run some anti-malware to be sure.

though i'm not sure you actually have much of a clue what is going on; 1st you say it's a 1700x build with a 470 and a 970. then your next comment is talking about 480s and 1070s. just a strange double typo?

Im 65 years old and I have some memory issues. My first post was from memory and my second I looked them up however I thought I wrote 1070 but I see I did not. I have been building component PC's for 17 years but I find myself struggling with everything because of age.

When I first setup the computer I had read a post where a guy said to to AMD for the chipset drivers not MSI. So I did and I clicked on chipset drivers to download and installed them they were actually graphics drivers or a combination of the 2 I dont know.

After installing MSI live update it wanted to update the chipset drivers so I ran that update.

I tryied the Evga 1070 in my other PC with an AMD FX 8 core processor and it works fine. So it is't the card.

Can you explain what you mean by DDU? Is it a GPU drivers removal software?
