I would never run a Ryzen of any kind on a 4 +1 VRM motherboard. Just not enough power and not high enough quality. I don't cheap out on parts and they don't fail on me. You get what you pay for always applies.

I bought the 2400G with MB because it was being offered as a combo. And the vendor installed everything.

Sigh. I think I will go see what Bill's MB was. And maybe resurrect the project with that MB and a 2400G cpu.

It died after slightly more than a month so I don't think an RMA is going to be possible.

"Bill's MB" and another 2400G are on the way.

Got to looking at Bill's MB and realized it was an ATX. The case I was using was a Micro-ATX. I already have 2 other ATX AM4 MB's so I have tried to cancel the "Bill's MB".

I have another ATX case laying around here someplace. :)

Failed the cancel so I will be getting "Bill's board" :)

Here is my latest command line for Windows and the Ryzen 5 2400G iGPU.

-sbs 192 -spike_fft_thresh 2048 -tune 1 2 1 16 -tt 1500 -period_iterations_num 1

There are 3 versions of the iGPU task for ATI gpus so you need a copy of this in all three command lines.

I was previously running it with a -period_interations_num 5 and the iGPU speed/frequency at 1500 instead of auto (in the Bios).
The screen response may now be a little laggy. I am driving the screen through the iGPU.

And have an "average" of 49 minutes. Previously the average had been as high as 1.5+ hours.

Curious(er). Someone just announced a "new" motherboard for an older A-8 product. (A8-7680 to be exact).
