Ryzen 5500 not boosting past stock speed

Judging bye the screenshots the CPU looks to be hitting or exceeding the PPT (TDP Power limit) limit (most Fast and Slow which IIRC translate to time at limit rather than speed).

Its been a while since I have played around with a AM4 CPU at all but could it be the CPU was hitting the PPT limit at 3.8Ghz (due to higher voltage caused by the Asus settings) thus preventing the full Turbo / boost from being enabled?

Ignoring RAM for a second, does switching between the Asus overclocking being on or off cause the behaviour seen in the opening post (on = limit to 3.8 and off being full turbo to 4.25)?

Hi all,

I have a prebuilt ********* system. I know quite abit about computers but I didn’t want the stress of building one myself so I got one prebuilt.

However, whatever I do it won’t boost/turbo.

I’ve updated the bios, installed the latest chipset drivers, refreshed the CMOS, enabled PBO (on auto and also engaged) , tried an auto overclocking pass via Ryzen master. This made my turbo 4350 on paper, but it still never actually went past 3800 in real life. I’m also on ultimate performance mode in windows energy, and have made sure my min processor state is 5% and max 100%

I have a 650watt PSU so it’s not that. I also run at 75c max (I installed an aftermarket large heat sink and dual fan cooler as the stock AMD wraith was absolute crap) so it’s not temperature throttling.

HWInfo shows that my turbo speed is 4.25 however NOTHING I run can get my power over 3.8 - I’ve tried cinebench 24 (multi core and single core) and Heavy load.

Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

My board is a ASUS AM4 chipset board, I have 32gb of Vengeance DDR4 running at 3200 using DCOS, 1tb Nvie SD, and a RTX 4060. I have 5 120mm case fans, 3 I take 2 exhaust.

Doesn't a 5500 only do about 4.4ghz as standard? It's already pre-overclocked is it not?

Yes, if I enable ASUS overclocking and/or DOCP, it causes it not to boost at all and just be constantly on 3800mhz on all cores. Disabling both asus overlocking and DOCP, I get normal behavior, so the mhz speed isn’t locked at 3800 and all cores respond and adapt to what I’m doing on the pc. Also as said before if I enable asus over locking and/or DOCP my CPU temps rise by about 20c
