Folding Forum

Here is a final update on my crashing in Folding @ Home on my 5950X with Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master. After changing almost every component (SSD, RAM, PSU, GPU), using stock clocks and even undervolting the CPU (ECO mode) I changed the motherboard. I installed the same system, same CPU/GPU/RAM/PSU/SS...

@Marius
My motherboard is almost the same, except the previous version. It is the X570 Aorus Master V1.2 (not the X570S version).

Note that the issue also happened even without GPU folding (only CPU) in Eco mode (65 watts TDP, 50 Celsius) and with a new PSU (changed PSU)....

@Marius New information : I was able to recreate the bug with Linpack Extreme at maximum settings! After many hours the PC froze solid. Unable to restart with the restart button or pressing power for many seconds. I had to remove power to the PSU to restart the PC. After the restart the BIOS was cor...

Then install or configure your PC to limit GPU power, and see if it runs fine. @MeeLee Thank you for theEco Mode suggestion! I ju...

@Marius You are definitively not alone with that bug. I also have an AMD 5950X on a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master (not the new X570s model) with an nVidia GTX 1080. System seems ultra stable on everything except FAH (version 7.6.21). Memtest 86, Linkpack or 3DMark are stable. On FAH it crashes Win 10 o...
