But most likely it is because driver issue on AGESA That's what ive been complaining since 2019. AMD makes good cpu but their AGESA messed it up. Regardless of how many time you change cpu, change motherboard, change ram etc, as long as the AGESA is bugged, it will stay bugged.

After revert to previous firmware I still get hang during idle.
So I change to new beta firmware again and off course still hang during idle. What is that...
Later I decide play with manual value input for RAM after select the XMP setting profile 1.
The manual value input of multiply totally fixed my issue, now no more hang during idle.
I think XMP implementation support in AMD really not that good.
Actually I didn’t face idle hang issue very long already but it is return after I turn on resizable bar and more than 4G.
Thanks lucky the manual value multiply entry solve the hanging in idle issue.

QUOTE(MrSpeedy @ Mar 31 2021, 07:17 PM) https://amanz.my/2021279029/TSMC reported to have increase silicon price at 25% by the end of this year. Should I grab 5600X @ RM1599 (RM200 above MSRP) right now??? This is a sad year for PC enthusiasts. EDIT: I also want to blame AMD for not keeping MSRP Ryzen 5 Zen3 as previous Zen2 (5600X is twice the price as 3600). Now 3600 used also sells like new set. just to let you know, if you don't mind waiting till May/June, 5600x back on Amazon preorder for $350 including import/shipping.

Still more expensive than 5600X price at launch, thanks to USD going up again. Hopefully those who bought get their import fees deposit refunded later.

Been surveying around to build a flight sim rig for a friend... but since it will have like 10+ USB control devices being plug in, that will be another consideration since there's still no news on the USB fix.

Yesterday I just backed up 10TB worth of movies to a new drive, went without a hitch. Held speed at 150+MB/s constant, which is much better than before where it would fluctuate from 30 to 100MB/s.

My current intel rig is not flawless either, Or perhaps it is my MSI Z490 board.. there's one red USB port which is apparently exclusively for mouse with some mumbo-jumbo "advanced gaming" feature but it bugged with my mouse/keyboard lolol. gets "device descriptor request failed error". But it works with my DAC flawlessly so I ignored the issue.

I connect plenty USB device and never face any ding dong issue, include external HDD, the copying in and out data is working perfectly fine. I had try in any type of USB up to USB-C.

I had try in any type of USB up to USB-C. Maybe cuz my HDD is an old school USB 2.0 external sata case HDD but it works on my intel rig, so I dunno. I lost this cable, so maybe if I used this then no problems on AMD... but at the moment it didnt work on my friend's AMD but it works on mine own rig. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « But glad to know that it has improved and AMD did try to fix the problem even though it took them 1 year to admit... so it should get better eventually... Now wonder if they will fix the idle boosting problem or not. This post has been edited by Bonchi: Apr 13 2021, 01:33 AM
