2600x only hitting 3900 Mhz on all cores during Gaming

[ywvlf]

Hey guys,
my new Ryzen CPU settles at a constant 3900/3925 or (max.) 3950Mhz during gaming (Battlefield V) and never ever hits sth over at or over 4Ghz (only in the menu once, on all cores), thus bottlenecking my 2070s in 1440 far more earlier than it has to. The temps during Gaming are around 60°C, my Mainboard is an MSI B450 Tomahawk with the latest Bios before they switched to lite due to new CPU support.

I see in HWMonitor (Maximum column), that every single core is capable of boosting to around 4,20 but shouldnt they all be nearer to that on a constant level, when the temp is alright?

Power plan is balanced, what can I do to make PBO boost higher? Or should i even disable it (like its here and there) and increase the PPT and co.

Could you help me with that, since I am really not the biggest expert there :l

Thanks much!!

Thanks for the fastt reply everyone!

What's your RAM setting? For Battlefield try Maximum Power option in Windows. Use HWINFO64 instead of HWmonitor.

Also, have you tried an all-core oc of 4 or 4.1 GHz? The 2600X should be capable.

RAM is running at 3200. I heard that Balanced Power is the best setting for PBO - shouldnt it boost to 4,2 there? Also I dont know how to OC, could u help me with that? PBO needs to be disabled then right?

As above. Set all cores to 4ghz, volts to 1.34. Try. Then increase as nessasary (I'd not go above 1.36v myself)

Wont the cores then stick to 4 ghz all the time? I still want them to downclock.

Also, I use HWINFO64 (wrote it wrong). Here are some values from Cinebench and from normal usage.

We have different motherboards but the BIOS might look similar. Your Gen 1+ is an X version and should need less vcore at same oc as the non X (2600) but try 1.38v at first and just lower it down until it loses stability.

So, under Ai Tweaker, i just set my CUSTOM CPU Core Ratio to Auto, CPU Core Ratio to 40 (for 4GHz OC), set the VDDCR CPU Voltage to Offset mode, set the VDDCR CPU Offset Mode Sign to +, And add 0.38v (base stock voltage is 1.000v for the R7 2700).

Last, go to DIGI-VRAM, and set LLC to Level 4 (you have to look for LLC in your BIOS and levels might not be exactly same).

HWINFO should read vcore close to BIOS setting.

I have my Power options set to High but my Minimum Processor State under Advance power option is at 5%.

As soon as you get back to Windows, if it boots fine, open up HWINFO and check your VCORE (SVI2 VN) and your CPU temp. Highlight them so they are easy to see.

Thanks mate. But in my Bios there is no VDDCR item. Do you mean the normal voltage? If so, why are we increasing it, when you stated before, that we want to lower it?

Also LLC is not present in my bios.

I attached some Bios screens.

Damn! Really appreciate the effort, mate. Will try to honor this by succeeding in any form, when trying this out tomorrow or the day after.
So there are 3 ways to do it, right? How will I set the PBO settings and stuff, when manually oc'ing? Is the first one described by you the "best"?
