Have you tried disabling SMT? And have you tried installing the latest microcode update? AMD has been having problems for a while, but I think they ought to have been fixed by now.

I, myself was thinking to acquire a Ryzen 5 1600 for a high performance programming desktop. I was thinking of running FreeBSD, it's sad to hear that it's glitchy.

Disabling SMT only reduces the frequency of the segfault bug occurring. AFAIK it does nothing for random whole machine freezes, for which there is a reliable workaround (other post of mine).

FreeBSD works great on Ryzen. I'm running it on a 1950x, no issues at all.
