EDIT Aug 12 2019:Let me start by saying I was wrong and I apologize for any misinformation I supplied due to my ignorance.
I was aware of Third-Party Monitoring Tools not being as accurate as Ryzen Master and I just ignored that fact all together.

I have started testing with Ryzen Master only now to see what the actual clocks on my Ryzen 3600X really is.
Although I still get over Max Boost as what is written on the box so I have no recourse to complain to AMD or refund my CPU'S.
Also they are still fast little CPU's Still happy.

I have only witness Cinebench20 hitting Max Boost on 2 cores as of testing today.I will test some more with different BIOS and if any change is observed I will post back.



AMD will straighten the BIOS blunders out, but maybe they will not because people complain about high temperatures in idle and high CPU voltage.

You need a good working BIOS for your Motherboard.For your CPU to hit Max boost clocks written on the box.

How boost is supposed to work with your new CPU

AMD Ryzen processor will increase clock speeds when the CPU has electrical, thermal, and/or utilization headroom to spare. In other words: if the processor’s analysis of its own environment indicates that it can safely go faster… it will!

For those who will not look at video.
Cinebench 20 single run .
All cores hit Max boost on 3600X (4400Mhz Written on The Box)in the run on Cinebench 20 with up to 3CCX(6 cores all running Max boost at same time.)

This CPU Ryzen 3600X has hit 4525Mhz on a couple cores in light gaming load and when cores are not in use they downclock.

Under Heavy load the CPU clocks/Voltage will decrease as much as the CPU needs .

I believe this is how AMD intended the boost to work for all.

EDIT:
Cinebench 20 all cores hit and past Maximum boost written on the box of 4400Mhz

Valley Benchmark all cores hit and past Maximum boost written on the box of 4400Mhz.

This doesn't make sense at all, 3600x doesn't have 3CCX.
 
3600/3600X/3700X/3800X have 1 CCD with 2 CCX each.

3600/3600X 3 cores in each CCX
3700X/3800X 4 cores in each CCX

The 3900X has 2 CCD, with 4 CCX, and each CCX has 3 cores (basically 2 3600/3600X in one chip)
3950X will be 2 3700X/3800X in one chip instead.
 
Thanks Nghtmare.Crazy how new Ryzen 3 is and people are misinformed.

Added some screens to try to get my stupid point across somewhat.The CPU's can boost higher than what's written on the box and there is show much BS out there that they can not.It is all in the BIOS really.

I have those settings on my BIOS, to basically allow the CPU to hit the highest possible clocks if it has room but it's disabled by Default. I havent turned it on because my 3800X still goes 4525Mhz when needed so I havent bothered.

I only meant that mine goes over box clocks when needed even though its only 25Mhz. Did you enable the BIOS setting that allows you to enter motherboard limit, etc?

Oh I know man,no I did not adjust the limits in BIOS Manual but the settings I chosed do it automatically allowing the CPU to do it's thing when under any load.

My settings for this video, boost up to 4525Mhz
OS-1903 Build 18362.267
AMD ComboPI 1.0.0.3
AMD_Chipset_Drivers_v1.07.29.0115-Release Day -July 30 2019 with AMD Ryzen™ Power Saver Plan
BIOS set to Enhanced Mode 4 for MSI Motherboard X470 Gaming Plus
It is all in the BIOS,if you do not have a good BIOS ,you will not get proper max boost clocks.

Highest I have seen on my 3600X boost 4582.1Mhz on some cores but I did make a video .
 
My 3700X won't boost properly at all. In Cinebench R20, I get 4.05Ghz all core, and the single core test won't even do do that. It doesn't make any sense.

This is with an X570 Taichi and custom water cooling.

It is a shame that the BIOS are still not working correctly yet for most people.All I am saying the chips are capable of hitting there intended boost clocks + extra Mhz on a proper BIOS.
