Whats going on with zen 2 boosting?

[Kevin Parsons]

Hey guys, just got my x470 gigabyte going with the 3900x. Boosting up until 4200 on all cores so far it seems. I guess we are being held back by Bios currently? Just posting up as I havent got chance to sift through reddit until tomorrow

We need motherboard and BIOS used to be able to see if there is an issue there.
Do you use Nvidia GPU also?

Do you try to overclock from BIOS or using Ryzen Master? Have you installed the latest AMD chipset drivers?

Thanks Panos. It's an x470 Aorus gaming 7 wifi board. Latest bios F40.

Update... It's the mobo bios I think. Options seem to be to wait, or attempt to integrate microcode into older versions (not up for that i dont think!)

 

[Kevin Parsons]

did you follow all the steps properly? It does matter.

Yep, to the letter. Hearing some odd stuff about the v 1.0 of the board hitting limitations and the 1.1 not. I imagine an agesa 1.1.0.3 bios will be imminent and should help things.

Yep that makes sense. However, I limited a cinebench to 4 cores and also observed the same. Still convinced something isn't quite right yet!
