First post - so please be gentle.

I'm currently using an AMD Threadripper 1920x. I've run it through numerous benchmarks like CPU-Z, Passmark, Geekbench 5...but I'm seeing something really weird. So Its running on the Asus Prime X399 EATX motherboard and it's normally clocked at 3.6ghz, but I have an overclock on it at 4.125ghz. Its completely stable and I don't have any liquid cooling etc...just a Noctura CPU fan on it.

CPU-Z:
Single Threaded performance is 456.3 (this is expected with the overlock - 1950x is 406 as a reference).
Typical single thread on this device is about 368-380 I think.

However, Multi-threaded performance is clocking in at 3787.8 on a 12 thread test. Now this chip says it has 12 cores and therefore 24 threads, but CPU-Z only allows me to choose 12 thread test on version 17.01.64. I've seen that other people on the CPU-Z website with the same processor are typically seeing 6400+ (8696 for the 1950x for reference).

Then - i looked into task manager to make sure everything was being utilised fully and in "Performance" tab, under CPU it says "AMD RYZEN Threadripper 1920x 12-Core processor"...but then down in the details it says:

Base Speed: 4.17ghz
Sockets: 1
Cores: 6
Logoical Processors: 12
Virtualization: Enabled

So which is it? A 12 Core processor with 24 threads or a 6 core processor with 12 threads? And why is my processor coming out 40% less than other people on CPU-Z...

Geekbench shows the same problem by the way - about 40% down on multithreaded performance.

Thanks for any advice on this.
 
I think because of the age of the motherboard, it's already on the latest bios sadly. Its more likely to be the CPU-Z version maybe....but then again...check this out..

the 1920x on geekbench should be 974 single core and 8771 multi according to their samples, but I've just done a test now and mine, is 1074 (exected because I'm a little oc'ed) but multithreaded is 6173!??!

Its so weird. And geekbench is also saying 6 cores and 12 threads?

Just looking on 3D mark too...at people round the 4GHZ mark...they are getting a CPU score of 11000....I get 6299 and in the bottom 1% of 1920x threadrippers?!?!
 
Riiiiiight.....after rummaging about - it turned out to be Ryzen master set to game mode...disabled 6 cores. Jeez....right - so CPUZ is now reporting 7889 which seems more like it. Hmm....that app needs a popup warning you of this weirdness. There are options to Disable zero cores or 4 cores, neight were set as ticked...because off screen somewhere 6 cores were disabled. Utter madness.

Thanks guys. You've been a big help
 
Cpu-z says 24 threads, 468 on single thread and 7885 on multi..which sounds more like @ real number compared to your 1950x

I turned the overclock down 100mhz as it crash in Geekbench 5...I'll test again shortly as I'm just running 3DMark at the mo.

Don't even remember switching on Gaming Mode
 
Time Spy Extreme just clocked 8752 - my best result - and now I know why hahaha.
Thanks man - thats a massive help.
 
Yeah superb. I'd been scratching my head for hours last night and today...but...finally some proper help. This is the first computer I've even bothered looking at for overclocking. Not gonna do anything fancy, just want best bang for buck out of what I've got.
 
All I've done in the bios at the moment is turn on XMP, then in Windows ran AI suite and then afterburner....but at some point in the past, clearly I've run Ryzen Master too. I'm definitely a novice. Running on air.
 
Ah yeah I see, it's in XMP-3200 mode with quad channel. But there's 2 X 16gb and 2x 8gb Simms. But same brand and rating. Profile says it's is 16-18-18-36
 
Had a quick go of that Superposition graphics benchmark - 8k Optimzed and 4k Optimzed - jumped in at 16th and 24th place I think....not back on air cooling....but this test is very much reliant on GPU...the system is still way off balance 1920x and 3090 lol. Waiting to see what AMD put out with the 5800x and 5900x.
Do you knwo if these two chips are just AM4 sockets and therefore X570 ready?
