How unstable is my new AMD Ryxzen 9 5900x, historically I have preferred Intel CPUs

Did I have any problems with my new AMD? If I did how did I fix them?

Wow you and I have had a similar computer history. My first was 486dx2 66, then Pentium 166, then AMD which was completely trash and i vowed to never buy AMD again. Now I have a Ryzen 1600 which my 7 year old uses (zero problems). Also just bought myself a Ryzen 5800 (5900 unavailable) with 280AIO which I thought was broken. On default bios settings running cinebench my CPU temp would reach 90c within 1min. After some research I read that default settings are a bit overturned so I changed CPU Clock Ratio from (Auto 38) to 38. This stops the boost from kicking in. CPU V Core from 2.0 to 1.175, my thinking that without the boost I did not need aggressive voltage settings Now cinebench can run not stop with CPU at 59 - 62c with a performance penalty of 15% which sucks but 30c drop is worth it. My advice to you is dont buy AMD Graphics Card, I have a 3070 GTX with no issues (Cypto mines on my 1600 at 50AUD a week). While that pays for itself, I bought a 6700xt and not happy. AMD drivers were hard crashing which has stopped now since the latest win 10 update (I know win 10 update actually helped, amazing lol). The problem that still exists is when watching youtube videos the video image pauses for .5 - 3secs but does not affect sound which keeps playing. If i switch back to NVIDIA 1070 or 3070 it doesnt happen which is a major pain as you have to do a complete driver uninstall. Any ideas on how to fix? BTW this is Rob from Odyssey

Hello. I thought that was you, how's it going? Does the pausing only happen in Chrome, or Firefox as well? I'm not sure what could be causing the problem but am guessing it's a driver one.

@@itperformance Only watch in Firefox but will try in other browsers. Noticed something similar in games but that was 1 week ago and dont play games that much anymore. 100% agree on driver issue which may be compounded by my triple monitor setup (all different brands).
