Keep in mind that he has a 1950x processor, which works a bit differently than most processors. It is technically 2 processors on the same chip and has memory and microcode downfalls because of that. The memory and processor can be set up two ways, and it matters with many programs. (Game versus Creator cpu, UMA versus NUMA memory). Setting it to Creator, sets the system up specifically for multicore tasks and introduces potentially massive latency in memory and single thread operations. It also separates the memory into two banks, one for each cpu.... Poser should probably be run in Game mode with local memory access since most of it is single core operations, literally turning off half the CPU and using the memory as one block. There are also some really odd issues with Windows 10 past 1809 with that motherboard chipset as well. If the chipset driver was not updated for that, the system will even more issues if Windows updates are current..... The memory issues don't surprise me a bit... That is a feature with Zen.... And it is even worse in Creator mode.....

WOW, all information that was new to me and the choice of the CPU was actually and accident.  It was a few years ago now and I had the system built for me, I have built my own systems in the past but this was so high spec at the time I chickened out on doing it myself.  It was a company that gave a base system set up and you can play with the configuration to customise it.  It was meant to take a few days to build so when, after a few days, I had heard nothing I contacted them only to find my choice of CPU was not in stock and no one had a bothered to tell me.  They recommended the 1950x based on my original choice and offered a slight discount which is how I ended up with it.  I suspect they would have set it up in game mode based on my discussions at the time.  

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
