AMD 3000 users how often do you hit boost clocks?

That doesn't seem too bad, at least its rocking along at 4.4ghz most of the time which I imagine is pretty good for gaming.
I'm not too upset, it's just that when you see 3800X users getting 4.55GHz on half their cores (not at the same time, I know) or even 4.6GHz+ it's a bit frustrating.

That's a lot better than mine will do. My Cinebench R20 is 7050 with stock settings on latest AGESA with 3733mhz RAM/1866mhz IF.
Yes, I'm happy with the multicore performance. It seems my chip is binned in such a way that it's better in that regard, I'd take that over a brief slightly better single core boost.

By the way, what's your R20 single core score and what cooler are you using?

You've got a very good chip there!

I give it a little help with a window-mount AC unit that keeps the room pretty cool when I'm in the sim. Ambient is 20-22C. I'm also running a 280mm AIO. Peak temp is 60c, but it runs in the 40 and 50's most of the time.

My 3900X struggles to hit 4.5 GHz let alone 4.6 on AGESA 1.0.0.4B. Boost was slightly more consistent on 1.0.0.3 ABBA (in terms of hitting 4.5 GHz or above) and Cinebench R20 single core performance was slightly higher (up to 2%) although R15 single core was about the same, multicore performance is slightly higher on 1.0.0.4B though.

However, I can force my best core to hit 4.6GHz+ by running Aida 64 memory latency test or the Crystal Disk Mark SSD benchmark (which results in a couple of cores hitting 4.575GHz too) so technically it is hitting the rated boost clock. Most of the time my 3900X is a 4.4-4.45 GHz chip though.

This is all at default settings (no PBO) on a Noctua NH-D15S cooler with the XMP 3600MHz profile enabled (my scores were worse at JEDEC 2666MHz RAM speed). I have also tested on two different motherboards (an MSI X570 ACE and a Gigabyte X570 Master) with close to identical results.

My Cinebench R20 scores with 1.0.0.3 ABBA:
Single core about 520.
Multicore about 7150.

1.0.0.4B:
Single core about 510.
Multicore about 7300.

Have you tried the 1usmus custom power plan with the correct bios settings enabled?

My 3950x has four cores that regularly hit 4.7 GHz, 2 that are total pants and don't go above 4.5 GHz and the other six that are somewhere between 4.55 - 4.6 GHz

I can hold 4.5Ghz all-core under chilled water

The ones I use for everything is:

GPU temp
GPU usage
Memory usage
Core Clock
Memory Clock
CPU temp
CPU Usage
Framerate

If you wanted to see every core you'll need to enable CPU1 / 16 usage etc

Managed to find a YouTube video. Thanks but I had to install rivatuner statistics. I've never installed that before as I am sure it caused issues in the past and I thought it was bloatware.
