Hi folks,

I have just upgraded from an R5 1400 to an R5 2600.

Been using it for a week now nice improvement overall.

Now I've been monitoring the boost speeds and I thought it would only boost to 3.9 but I'm getting speeds up to 4.4ghz. Is this to do with thermal overhead? I have a very good aftermarket cooler. At these speeds its sitting at 54c at load.

What motherboard? some have a setting called PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) with it enabled it will ignore TDP limits and boost the CPU as high as it will go.

The CPU voltage monitoring at the top is cut off, what voltage are you seeing with the CPU under load?

Checked HWinfo and its not boosting past 3.9 must be a bug in CPUID HWmonitor, shame I was excited for a moment there.

I was like, " wait a minute, my b450 Aorus M from gigabyte wont clock my 2600 higher than 3,9ghz. What is up with that".. now I understand. Sucks though, was hoping for some miracle to have happened :/
 
I was/am having something similar happening on my my MSI B450M Mortar and Ryzen 2600. With the MSI Gameboost enabled in the 'command centre' it has sometimes been showing the Max core clocks across all cores as 4.4ghz in HWMonitor after paying games.

After reading this thread yesterday I played some BF1 and it showed the max core clock as 5.15ghz across all cores?!

I'm going to download HWinfo also...
 
So yeah, HWinfo also showing 3.9ghz for me, and HWMonitor is showing 4.4ghz when they are both open at the same time.

The System fan readings are also all over the shop in HWMonitor.

Strange that?

Don't use 2 different monitoring software tools concurrently as they'll conflict with each other.
 
Thanks for the advice, figured that would be the best way to compare their readings, will run them separately in future.
