PC Processors

[Quetzal61]

Hello! I recently built a new PC, upgrading some parts of an older one I had. The older one ran a Ryzen 7 3700x.

Using OCCT to stress test my new CPU, it runs at max load as shown in this picture:

I have seen people saying it runs up to 4450 to 4500MHz, and seen people benchmarking it and reaching those speeds. I wonder why mine doesn't, considering its not thermal throttling at all, it never goes past this temperature.

I updated the BIOS on my motherboard to support the Ryzen 5000 series, updated chipset and such. Everything runs great, I just wonder why I am missing those Mhz. It could give me more FPS headroom in a very heavy CPU intensive game I play (Assetto Corsa Competizione)

Thank you for your help, here are my PC specs:

5800x3D

EK AIO 280mm

16GB 3600Mhz CL18 RAM

Asus TUF x570 Gaming Plus

Corsair RM1000x 1000Watt

RTX 4090

Quetzal61, you are throttling due to EDC being red, at its limit. You can raise this limit a little because you have lots of headroom in temperature. If you want to, let me know. Please remember that throttling is very load dependent and may never hit with other applications. I do not work for AMD so cannot tell you the effect of raising limits on your warranty. Thanks for the Ryzen Master screenshot. Enjoy, John.

Hello. I used PBO tuner to set a -25 on all cores and now it runs at 4450 on multi core loads and 4550 on single core loads at lower temps, its great. The EDC actually increased a 3% by doing that

Quetzal61, I am not familiar with 'PBO tuner' but if t is not from AMD, then I suggest you not use it.  However, if you are happy, enjoy and thanks, John.
