Hey guys, this is a post I’ve been meaning to ask for a while.

More lately, I have been experiencing WHEA APCID 4 error codes on Event Viewer with my pc restarting. “Core Error” is what they say on my 5800x.

I don’t believe my cpu is bad thankfully aH, because I think this is happening because I’ve been having some bad Curve Optimizer offset on for the past 2 weeks now using Ryzen Master haha.

So I just turned off my crappy Curve Optimizer in the event that its a bad oc that was applied. My 5800x otherwise still performs as expected when I dump it underload in R23 Cinebench and whatnot.

The point of this post though is that I want to be prepared though to make a purchase for a replacement CPU in the event that God forbid this CPU has legitmately turned bad or whatever, or if the 5800x3D has dropped down in price further. So, is the upgrade worth while? I game a lot, and realistically speaking… while I do a lot of MATLAB intensive work, I think the program is more based off CUDA Cores (gpu hardware accelerated).

For context, here is my set up and resolution I play at:

Ryzen 7 5800x, RTX 3080 (10 gb) 4×8gb 3200 mHz RAM 1440p, 165hz monitor (I use DLDSR to go to 4k)

Any thoughts?

    You’re running your ram out of spec for 4 sticks probably, if you’re getting errors you would probably be better off with 2 sticks at 16gb each.

    You can test this by just running on the A slots for each channel and running 16gb for a bit. You should see errors go away, if they are happening at stock with xmp
