Would I be wrong in saying even navigating windows with 5-6 windows open, Outlook, Chrome, youtube playing etc feel much better than a 4 core. My other machine is a 4c 4.6Ghz 4690k with same SSD and the Ryzen system feel smoother in general.
Scramz are you talking about when your PC is under minimal load it drops to 1.5Ghz ?
Where are you setting the balance mode ? I have gone through the (crosshair) bios, mobo software and windows power modes and none of them are dropping speeds at low use/ideal.. I think i am suffering from looking at bios settings for too long
