It wouldn't surprise me if the quality and stability of the motherboard is a factor here.
R5 1600, never had any of these problems, and I have friends running Threadrippers that don't see these problems either.
- sq_ 7y agoSeems plausible. The build my R5 1600 is in has a reasonably high-end Asrock X370 mobo. Is your setup similar?
- ohithereyou 7y agoIt's an Asrock B450 Pro4.
- sq_ 7y agoHah! I almost bought that board, but ended up going with another for built-in wifi. Asrock has been a really solid brand for me.
- ohithereyou 7y agoMy Pro4 has been solid for me. I upgraded about a year ago from an AM3+ FX-8350 build on another Asrock motherboard. That was back when Microcenter was selling the R5 1600 for $79 with $30 off a qualifying motherboard.
- sq_ 7y agoImpressed that an 8350 lasted you that long at a reasonable performance level. An R5 1600 for $79 is definitely an awesome deal; mine still crushes pretty much any work I throw at it.
