Hey guys, a little over a week ago I bought a Ryzen 5 2600x together with a MoBo MSI x470 Gaming Pro. After arming I made a clean installation of Windows and all the necessary drivers, I started to monitor temperatures of the new processor and noticed that in idle reached temperatures of 40 degrees to 60 degrees, in games it reached up to 72 degrees, I increased the speed of the fan through the bios and the temperature was around 65 degrees, which is still much in my opinion taking into account the ambient temperature (12 degrees the night, 28 degrees for the day). The processor that I currently use (i5-6600k) during the day maintains a temperature of 60 degrees playing GTA V and The Withcer 3 and at night is between 48-55 degrees, I use a stock fan.
With Ryzen, during the day it reached 83 degrees while playing GTA V with the fan running at 100%, I thought I had bad position the Heatsink, so I unmounted the PC and put it back, tried and had the same tempratures. I also noticed that the VRM reached the same tempratures as the CPU, I began to suspect that the board was bad, for the night of that day while playing CS: GO with friends the computer froze at any moment, the mouse did not answer nor the task manager, I restarted immediately and did not pass the MSI load logo, I waited for more than half an hour and nothing. I tried several times and it was always stuck there, try to boot from a USB with Linux and tried another HDD and the same thing happened. I could enter the BIOS and everything seemed normal. In the morning I disassembled everything to prune components in the previous plate I had and everything worked fine. Then what was bad was the CPU or the MB.
I went with the seller and it took me to his technician, we tested the MB with another CPU and the system started correctly, while with the Ryzen 5 he did not turn on anything. Sometimes the CPU debug LED on the MB would light up.
We agreed that I would change the processor for a new one.
I do not know how many chances there are
to get a bad CPU, investigating by forums I came to the conclusion that the failure was maybe because of the RAM I use (CMK8GX4M1A2400C14 x2), it does not appear in the compatibility list of MSI, but if models Similar. It could also be something else because with that RAM the computer started up correctly for the first time and it worked normally.
I also noticed that the CPU voltage was high even in idle, it reached 1.475v and this caused the high temperatures, manually lowering the temperature the switched off but also operating at low frequencies.
The MotherBoard seems to be fine, when the technician tested his CPU the VRM almost did not heat up.
I would appreciate if someone knew what could happen or if someone gave their opinion about this problem, I try to understand what happened or if it was just bad luck. What happened was really depressing.
And sorry for my bad English.
