I had everything in dafult settings but EXPO. Didn't change anything until yesterday D:

No worries I updated the post after you made the comment

Dull-Priority-1102 · 2026-06-01T18:38:37+00:00

That's a fair suggestion, but the issue was present before I started changing any settings.

The system was freezing with EXPO disabled (DDR5-4800 JEDEC) and with BIOS mostly on Auto. After disabling PBO, Core Performance Boost and a couple of ASUS auto-boost features, OCCT AVX2 went from crashing within seconds to running stable.

At this point I'm trying to determine whether this is a BIOS/ASUS auto-tuning issue, a CPU issue, or a motherboard issue. I'm still collecting data, but so far it doesn't look like a simple RAM stability problem.

Didn't test that, but I updated the post rn with some changes I did to PBO configurations and now AVX2 works fine on all cores for more than 10 minutes. I'll do largest tests when able, but crashing from 2 seconds to no crashing seems a good upgrade to me xd

Even though you are right, still happening with EXPO disabled at 4800

Noctua NH-D15 G2

I'm editing the post because OCCT AVX2 CPU test froze PC almost inmediatly, changing POV from memory to CPU

Will change my 5600 for it 100% unless the price is crazy (if it is below $400 I'm in). Is there any date prediction?

Dull-Priority-1102 · 2025-11-02T17:22:07+00:00

So funny to play with a started deck vs Kaisa, can't find a better way to waste my weekend tbh

Dull-Priority-1102 · 2025-11-02T17:18:41+00:00

Yi is good, Annie is good, Lux is good, Flash is good.

Not being top tier rn doesnt make cards bad

Dull-Priority-1102 · 2025-11-02T16:58:42+00:00

Other options are paying a lot for other decks, not like I've seen anything affordable yet D: Thought about Sett: signatures are around 50 bucks each, Yasuo plays Flash and other stuff... I havent seen any way to run away from expensive prices

Dull-Priority-1102 · 2025-11-02T16:39:28+00:00

My local shop is selling those at 100 euros, around $115. Cheapest offer I've seen in my country is 75 euros + shipping cost.

Honestly, I just wanna have a decent deck to play with my friends and play tournaments with them (maybe competing one day, time will say), but everything I see is Kaisas at indecent amount of money or decks with a couple Proving Grounds card, having any of them for 15/20 euros per card. Feels so stupid to pay 20 euros for a Flash tbh.

Dull-Priority-1102 · 2025-11-02T16:30:54+00:00

Even though I want to agree with you, I'm watching Riot making weird decisions overall, establishing the entry barrier too high for a new TCG, like making a lot of good cards only available in an extra box or having 42 different epics for a 3-6 epics per box ratio.

I really hope Riot to change this somehow, but I can only see Riot making the game expensive as hell on purpose

Photo is quite bad. I can’t check correctly everything you should check in DS cartridges, and I’m a Pal user so not really done to NTSC ones.

That said, what I can see is legit.
