Not sure if this is applicable to EPYC CPUs, probably not. But I would expect that it's possible to disable C6 in some similar way on EPYC CPUs without rebooting the system. (If you are actually at risk of running into this issue, you likely don't want to reboot the system…)

I tried everything you've mentioned but finally fixed the issue on my 1300 using python zenstates. I had it run on boot with this systemd service: ``` [Unit] Description=Disable C6 state on ryzen processor to fix idle freezing

The freezing has only occurred when idle so far: when the monitor returns from sleep, no signal is returned. A related bug report references this Python script several times in the comments, and there's also another for Go. No commits in several years, sudo is obviously required and I don't know if they can be considered as safe.

Note: I merely added the systemd script (IIRC by reusing some forum messages while digging my crashes) + the debian packaging. That's not my script :), credit for this script goes to https://github.com/r4m0n/ZenStates-Linux

I fixed this by toggling some power management option (can't remember which one, deep in a submenu) in UEFI, then checking with https://github.com/r4m0n/ZenStates-Linux. It must return C6 disabled for package, enabled for cores. Ryzen 5 1600

Also try disabling C6 sleep with zenstates

You can undervolt by manipulating the VIDs with zenstates https://github.com/r4m0n/ZenStates-Linux

It's the Ryzen bug. You need to disable your C6 cpu state (https://github.com/r4m0n/ZenStates-Linux), disable dram power down enable(bios option) and set Power Supply Idle Control to Typical Current Idle(bios option)

So the other hand is zenstates.py It pokes a register to keep C6 power state from happening. I launch on reboot, and my machine no longer has sleep state problems.

According to the GitHub page:

A performance optimiser, GameMode by Feral Interactive. It’s not required for anything to launch (unless maybe you’ve configured something to run via gamemoderun and GameMode isn’t actually installed on your system!)

EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it. Just create a file called gamemode.ini in $HOME/.config/, and copy inside this.

Thinking about running "gamemode" https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode.

oh, you're referring to gamemoderun.

The ArchWiki has some tips that can help tuning your system to squeeze more performance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/gaming

This launcher does help too: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode

On top of that, you can use a patched kernel like: https://xanmod.org/

You can check support status for games here: https://www.protondb.com/

If you run games via Proton with DXVK, you can use the environment variable DXVK_HUD=1 to show a HUD with an FPS meter. Some others prefer mangohud.

Setting your CPU frequency scaling governor and GPU to performance mode also helps.

Here's a link, looks like they are indeed working on it: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/pull/416

Didn't include your OS but if you are on Ubuntu people reported before missing some 32-bit libraries as seen here https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/issues/254
