Thanks for the reply. By today's standard my whole system spec is slow to be honest. But slow ram speed shouldn't cause this problems with powerplay. As I can run the card fine with load or idle with kernel version 5.0.17. It seems to me the new commits from AMD for kernel version 5.1 is to blame. But I can't say for certain. Interestingly enough if I use amdgpu.dpm=0 to disable dynamic power management kernel version up to 5.1.6 works just fine except crappy performance when under graphics load. I was curious so checked out the commit log on amd-staging-drm-next branch. And I see some reverts of powerplay related commits.
