Asus Wrx90 Pain featuring threadrippper

So i am still getting 0d errors and its demoralizing to say the least.

I still do not have ram on the qvl …still…but am going to do what i can to resolve that ASAP.

I am not convinced that getting ram on the qvl will resolve my issues. I am seeing people using ram not listed on the qvl with much more hardware connected not having the kind of issues im having.

My computer works perfeclty until it decides to spontaneously
A. restart and hang on 0d
B.Freeze entirely while in windows , including the motherboards led temperature dispaly. Once you load windows on this board the area that shows codes shows the CPU Temp.
C.Restart and load back into os normally.

Random devices somtimes do random things…it just seems like this platform wasn’t very well thought out or planned. Or perhaps its just so new that the support isn’t there and it may never be there do to how few users there are of this platform…IDK.

All i know is i want more than anything for my setup to work. I have been fighting for months and months just to be able to do my work. I am in a privilaged spot to even have the time to put towards building a machine like this but i am really feeling robbed by this whole experience.

Have you tried a different cooler yet?

The fact that you are consistently getting so many 0d errors despite changing out the components the error typically points to makes me think it could be something “upstream”. I’m thinking maybe poor socket pressure or uneven pressure could be the cause.

I remember seeing this thread awhile back and thinking to myself that the cooler isn’t going to be able to reliable push the CPU into the socket since it can’t even cover the entire SPU IHS:

I’ve been struggling with something similar, but I’ve not paid much attention to the error code on the board, though I should.

In conjunction with random slowdowns, I’ve been getting random stuttering and occasional spontaneous reboots as well as actual crashes where sound bugs out and hangs until I hit the restart switch. What I’m doing doesn’t seem to matter. The rig is as follows:

Asus WRX90 SAGE
TR 7975WX
G.Skill Zeta R5 128GB kit (running Expo I profile)
Noctua NH-U14S cooler
Asus ROG Strix 4090 OC
Intel Arc A770 (for encoding)
Windows 10 Ent. (reformatted after an even worse experience on W11.

Event viewer doesn’t seem to be capturing anything when these issues occur. My first step was going to be to step down the RAM speed, since I know these boards can have some issues with all 8 slot populated.

That said, when I have it doing an actual productive task like video rendering/upscaling, photo enhance (Topaz Labs stuff) and some DFIR tasks, it chews through that work so fast.

It’s just the random micro stutters as well as the actual crashes, not even CTD, but full on crashes that worry me.

Definitely always something being an early adopter…

Maybe…do you think this would be a good cooler to go with @twin_savage ?

This one is actually designed for Tr5 fully.

Yeah i am having similar problems. I had the zeta kit but returned it.

I currently have a NH-U14S cooler but you do know there is a new mount for it yes ? The mounting pressure for tr5 is a bit different then tr4…you too could theoretically be having cooler issues like Twin guessed for me.

There is an adapter mount you can get to make your NH-U14s cooler fully compatable.

Another potential issue is that neither of the ram you or I are using are on the qvl…that said i do not think the qvl is the issue considering my system runs perfectly aside the fact that it randomly is restarting and 0ding or w.e …

Hmm, I’d really hope it’s not the RAM, as I’ve never had any issues with G.Skill in the past, though I do know this is their first ECC offering.

The NH-U14 I ordered specifies TR5-SP6, so I’m assuming it was an updated model that has better coverage of the IHS.

I need to install HWInfo and have it log to see if temps are indeed an issue.

Take a look at the adapter i linked above for your cooler.

Yeah Noctua’s stuff is always really well engineered if a bit pricy.
I hate to blindly suggest this without any proof, because it’s entirely possible it is a BIOS problem that has yet to be resolved, but I’d kind of expect more people to have issues if that were the case.

This is the actual item from the order:

It appears to have come with the TR5-SP6 adapter already. I had to do a screenshot, as I don’t think I’ve been on the boards long enough to include links yet.

Thats exaclty what i am thinking…

Hmm… well it just makes me wonder…because the one i linked is a newer supported model thats fully designed with tr5 in mind. These subtleties …ill tell you what…

See if you can check memory temperatures, if the RAM was overheating I’d expect all those symptoms.
If it was a memory temp related problem it might also be logged into the motherboard’s IPMI portal too.

When Wendell put out his video on the Asus WRX90 board I had just received all my bits, but I hadn’t received my case yet, so I was wondering if I was going to have some of the hiccups he had experienced.

All in all, the first boot went smooth and didn’t even take that long. I checked to see if there was a BIOS update yet, but it’s still the same as far as I can tell.

According to @wendell The artic freezer 4u is good but…idk…i am going to try grabbing this noctua and seeing if i have a different expereince.

So the NH-D9 is a 92 mm fan setup. My NH-14 has 140 mm fans. That’s the main difference here, but both specify TR5-SP6 compatibility in the product title.

I really hope they release one sooner rather then later. This computer is teasing me …it runs perfectly accept the fact that it is CONSTANTLY restarting/ hanging or w.e.

So sick of this…

I’ll give it a look!

That makes sense. I acutally have the 14… i returned the mount…looks like i need to get it back and maybe see if that helps but it looks like your having the same types of issues…

Make sure to type in https://[your IPMI IP address] when logging into the IPMI. I made the mistake of just typing in the IP address straight into the browser and it never resolved… These new fancy IPMI implementations with their extra https security.

@KittyNour did you ever look into your IPMI event log to see if you could glean any extra information?

I’ve got HWInfo installed and running a log right now. Crashes most often occur if I decided to stop work and play a game or two, or if I’m alt+tabbing in between say a game and a video on YouTube.

We’ll see what the log shows if it crashes.
