I recently buy a new machine with the following config:

  • Ryzen 5 3600x
  • ASROCK A320m-HD. (with lastest bios update)
  • 16gb RAM DDR4
  • NVIDIA GTX 1660

I installed windows 10, all fine, cool temps and stuff, but when i tried linux (with ubuntu dual boot 18.04 LTS mostly) my cpu fan speed spikes up randomly and i have a noisy annoying sound all the time...

Also, on ubuntu i have a delay/freeze when i type text, like typing this message right now.

I've tried other distros like linux mint and there is no typing delay, only the noisy fan...

I'm new to linux world and I have no clue what to do... I appreciate any help

  • Install something like lm-sensors, or the Vitals GNOME Shell extension, and check your temps. Report back. – heynnema Apr 26 '20 at 19:13
  • added to the post – fool1 Apr 26 '20 at 19:39
  • It's funny that sensors doesn't show your CPU temps, Try Vitals. – heynnema Apr 26 '20 at 19:44
  • Edit your question and show me ps auxc | grep -i therm. – heynnema Apr 26 '20 at 19:45
  • Done... this freeze while typing is killing me rn – fool1 Apr 26 '20 at 19:55
  • Is it freezing? You didn't mention that. Show me free -h and sysctl vm.swappiness. – heynnema Apr 26 '20 at 19:58
  • I used the word "delay" on the original post. My bad. Done – fool1 Apr 26 '20 at 20:04
  • I would Google "ryzen ubuntu" or "ryzen linux" and see what you get. Some time ago they found a problem with early ryzen processors running on linux. They ended up swapping the processors under warranty. There may also be some kernel mods that need to be made in /etc/default/grub to make this work. Also, although I don't think this is your current problem, your swap is kind of low... I'd recommend a 4G /swapfile. – heynnema Apr 26 '20 at 20:12
  • I'll search. Thanks! – fool1 Apr 26 '20 at 20:16

Solved the temp/and the noisy fan by disabling Core Performance Boost in my bios;

 1. BIOS "Advanced"; 
 2. AMD CBS;  
 3. Core Performance Boost > DISABLED;
 4. F10
 5. SAVE;

The freeze/lag while typing was an error with the keyboard layout I was using (ABNT2). I followed this tutorial Ubuntu 18.04 input slow when Portuguese (Brazil) layout among keyboard input sources
