Dealing with signal interference on Soyo SY-Yanlong B550M?
Every time I entered the main city, the screen would go black and I'd get kicked straight to the desktop, which is just garbage for an open-world experience. Looking at the logs, the PCIe 4.0 signal on the Soyo SY-Yanlong B550M had a sync drift of 3-6ms during heavy data bursts, causing the GPU driver to timeout. I tried Low Latency mode in the drivers first, but that actually made the crashes happen more often, which was just annoying. I went into the BIOS and forced the PCIe link speed to Gen3 instead of Auto, then slammed the latest AMD chipset drivers. In 3DMark stress tests, the crashes (which were happening twice an hour) completely vanished. I had a moment of panic when the settings didn't save because the CMOS was stubborn, but a manual jumper reset fixed it. Now the board temps sit between 48°C - 55°C. After 8 hours of grinding, it hasn't blinked once. The Gen3 lock is a slight downgrade on paper, but stability is everything.
