Hello guys,
I recently put together a ryzen build as following:
cpu: ryzen 5 1600 (no OC)
motherboard: asus prime b350-plus
ram: corsair vengeance 16gb (2x8) ddr4 3000mhz (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) (it's on the mobo QVL, stating it can be overclocked at 2933mhz)
gpu: gigabyte gtx 1060 windforce oc 3gb (factory overclocked only)
psu: corsair rm650x
storage: sandisk ssd 256gb ultra plus (only pc part i used from my previous pc, as far as i know it's in excellent condition)
The ram is read at 2133mhz, and the pc works fine*. If i try to overclock at 2933mhz the pc will boot loop. I tried testing 1 ram stick at a time and what i found out was that when i have only 1 stick placed at the 4th slot i can overclock it at 2933 stable. If i have 1 stick placed at 2nd slot and try to overclock the ram, i get boot loop (tried with both sticks).
*Not exactly fine, when i am in bios it's very laggy and choppy, like if im moving the cursor, a few frames get cut off every few seconds. Also in games (mostly noticed on BF4) i get some weird fps drops. I play bf4 on ultra with 120+ fps and it might drop to 30-60 for 1-2 sec, once it dropped to 15.
It gets veeery choppy, frames are cut off and i get the bf4 warning icon for low fps (severe).
Also, i have latest BIOS version, latest drivers for everything, windows 10 64bit fully updated.
Temps are also fine, playing bf4 on ultra at 67-70C (gpu) and 49-51C (cpu).
So, i ask you guys is there something faulty with the motherboard? Could a faulty motherboard cause these fps drops i described? or could this be a gpu/cpu problem?
Thanks for the support!
