Is this reset bug a common issue? I seen reports of it, but almost guaranteed on a reboot it will hang, not post. Then reset a few times and post. Most times it just posts as normal after it has a fit but this time the bios resets completely. So tempted to wash my hands of this platform and hit Intel. I have distinctively had a issue EVERY single time i put anything AMD in my build, including now.
Not cool man. Like you, I've overclocked, and tweaked the sheet out of my rig, and I paid the price. I get hard-freezes occasionally every few weeks. Or the monitor fails to wake from sleep. Or the system starts bogging down for no good reason. I keep it under 100% load, 24/7, on the CPU, and both GPUs. Yeah, I'm mixing AMD and NV on the same PC, and the AMD card is an RX 5700 reference. Drivers are still working out the kinks.
But that's the price to pay for overclocking and tweaking. You can't just do it with impunity, and expect that everything will stay perfect, fine, what have you.
How many people that DON'T OC their AMD rig, from day one, but stick with stock. How many of THEM are having constant boot problems, etc.? Not many.
You want an Intel platform? Sure, push it to 5.4Ghz, at an untenable long-term voltage. Then get back to us after six months, how your system is failing to POST, how it's unstable, runs hot, etc.
Have some responsibility for your own actions.
And maybe run your next system bone-stock (except for XMP, and watch out for MCE and PL2).
Hoping i could at least overclock without it throwing a fit.
As I learned (the hard way), Zen2 / AM4 is not meant to be meaningfully manually OC'ed. Even PBO is basically a bust. (*)
(*) Edit: I'm actually going to walk that statement back. That original statement, was based on my initial-release R5 3600 CPU, which, although it would settle at ALMOST 4.0Ghz during an all-core load, at stock/auto settings (no PBO, just standard CPB), I could not, seemingly, stabilize it with a manual all-core OC to 4.00Ghz at any sane (below 1.40V) voltage. (With a PrimeGrid load.)
I just dropped in my newly-minted 3600 (fresh batch), and now I'm running, seemingly problem-free for a few hours, at 4.20Ghz all-core, CPB disabled, Trident RGB DDR4-3600 @ XMP 3600 (all DIMM slots filled), FCLK 1800, at 1.28125V fixed voltage. (I have no idea on LLC, if this board supports it, or what it is set to other than default. It's an Asus B450-F ROG STRIX Gaming ATX, that's been through a lot.) (Haven't tried PrimeGrid yet on these settings. Maybe I will after a full system backup.)
