AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

I thought 1.0.03 abba should solve that, and is it normal for task manager to report base clock 3.89 ghz instead of 3.90, and minimum clock speed fluctuation can go as low as 3.80 ghz instead of 3.90?

Indeed it should have. Not sure what to say but cannot hurt to give the new BIOS a go soon when it comes out. Apparently there are many improvements.

You can always do what I do and use Ryzen Master to do a all core overclock at a lower voltage in the meantime. As you have 8 cores you can set say 4-6 of them at 4GHz base and the others at 4.5GHz. Try 1.275v and see how it goes :D

1.0.0.4 agesa version sorts the max boost clock issue out. 1.0.0.3 ABBA doesn't sort the boost issues.

The CPU cores will clock down to just 800MHz when truly idle. The base clock is the lowest speed the CPU cores will do when under load and nothing to do with idle frequency.

Equally task manager isn't the best for showing true clock speed. Ryzen Master is better as it will show what each individual core is doing at what clock speed.

I thought ABBA was meant to have fixed it? That is what everyone was saying from what I recall? A lot of people reported their issues fixed once they updated?

1.0.0.3 ABBA wasn't a fix for the boost issue. It was idle voltages, boost sensitivity etc.

1.0.0.4 is the max boost fix.
 
After 1.0.03 abba many people got advertised speed, but i still dind't argh, got crosshair viii hero motherboard because i wanted best performance out of the box, but people with much cheaper boards get better clocks.
 
If you're dropping below base clock then you're likely either not using the CPU much (so some of the cores are sleeping or in a low power state), which is normal, or the chip is throttling because your cooling isn't sufficient. What are your temps like? Use Ryzen Master or HWInfo64.

In prime95 small ffts temp are about 92c, cinebench and asus realbench benchmark (all tests) max 85, gaming ( gta v) and browsing max 67c.

Either your cooler isn't good enough, or you didn't apply the thermal paste properly.

Fair enough. We will see shortly if it fixes the issue for him :D

I'm in the same boat as gondar with my 3700x. On 1.0.0.3 abba with my 3700x anywhere from 25 to 75mhz short of max boost but in on my old x370 taichi. Not massively bothered though as it will only equate to about 1% improvement at best lol

Just waiting on an official 1.0.0.4 bios which will probably be last on the priority list at the moment :p
 
It's normal. My 3800X only goes to 4.448 in Cinebench.

Open HWiNFO and go and make a cup of tea. When you come back you will see maximum clocks of 4.5+.

It seems that the peak clocks are only reached under light workloads. Or something like that.

What is your average all core boost?
 
Tomahawk max 1.0.0.4 bios available, fixed the blank screen upon waking from sleep issue. No changes in R20 scores though, few points lower actually, all core boost 3.97ghz on 3600. Boot times longer for me by 8 seconds, 19sec now 27sec.

pff

EDIT: One thing I noticed, my r20 scores used to vary a lot, I would sometimes get 3550 and quite a few times had 3630, and everything in between. Now I get 3600-3605 everytime.

Least it works now for sleep mode

I'm interested in how the per-CCX overclocking works in the BIOS - presumably it requires manual voltages or offset voltages? Would appreciate any links to people tinkering with this, given I won't be able to test it for ages I suspect.
