Question on new Ryzen 5600x build

[Kribby2006]

Hi All,

Been out the loop for a while and just put a new rig together, bit of a noob also with AMD as always had intel before.

I have paired the Ryzen 5600x with an Asus B550-F Gaming motherboard and 32 GB of G Skill NEO memory (3200MHz).

After downloading and running Cinebench, I noticed that my CPU seems to stay @ 3.7GHz (base clock shown in CPUz) whereas I thought it should boost to a higher frequency, think the specs mention 4.6GHz (boost clock).

Anyone got an ideas why this maybe? All I've done so far is enable DOCP in the BIOS for the memory timings etc.

This is the chip I'm using https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-...hz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-3cc-am.html

Thanks in advance for any info.

Cheers,
Kribby.

Thanks guys, used Ryzen master and could see it was going up to about 4.2GHz so that'll do.

Installed the latest chipset drivers and will now check PBO setting.

Cinebench score for multicore was 10196

R23? should be about 11,500 so it is down a bit but it depends on your cooling?

If you're going to mess about with PBO don't turn anything like EDC up, it will just suck down more power for no reason and run hotter and with that boost less, what you can do is set PBO to advanced, Find "Curve Optimiser" set it to a negative value, or symbol depending on what your mother board calls it and put in a value of 5, 10, 15, 20.. up to 30.

What that does in under volt the CPU but in a very clever way, with that it should run cooler and with it boost higher, the higher the value you put in the more it will under volt the CPU, one thing to know about it is it could pass all the stress tests and then crash 48 hours later while watching Youtube, if it does that back the Curve Optimiser off a couple of points.

Beyond that you also have the option of setting a boost off set, up to +200Mhz.

There are about a half a dozen ways to under volt and over clock Ryzen CPU's, very different to Intel and this method is the easiest, best and most reliable.

Thanks for this and yes its Cinebench R23.

Looking at temps seemed fine tbh, no higher than 60 °C during the cinebench run. Am running a Be Quiet Pure Rock 2,

I'll look into those settings you mention, tbh I'm not really up to speed with this new chip and board (board is Asus B550-F gaming), last rig was the one on my sig and was very different.

Gonna have to do some reading . Thanks again.

Grats, that's an easy win then

Maybe consider giving CTR (clock tuner for ryzen) a go. It'll give you an estimate of how good your silicon is (platinum, gold, silver or bronze sample) and a means to easily overclock.

Thanks again.
