5950X Not Reaching Boost Clock

[Neocleous]

Hi all,

I've just built my machine got it all configured and I'm going through tuning it up. I am a bit of a newb when it comes to overlocking but I've educated myself as best I can but I seem to be hitting a brick wall.

My build is as follows:

AMD 5950X
Asus Strix X570-I MiniITX board
16GB Crucial Balistix BLE2K8G4D36BEEAK 3600 MHz 16-18-18
Corsair TX850M 850W PSU
Arctic Freezer II 280mm AIO

I ran Prime95 on a 32 core blanaced stress test and I can see in Ryzen master that the EDC get pinned to 100% on the default out of the box settings I was hitting 4.5ish GHz then I set it to Precision boost overdrive which upped the limit of EDC which again it took to 100% of the new value and I was still hitting the same 4.5GHz???

I should also mention I am on the latest BIOS, the board wouldn't boot with my CPU until I updated it which was a massive hassle!

Have I missed something?

That makes sense, nothing I was doing was seeming to make any sense.
I assume to get this higher I would have to lock the multiplier higher to lock all cores
