Hi John.
Just to clarify when I cleared the CMOS I did boot into windows and run tests which came back low like the others. Then I went back in and enabled the boost stuff and changed the DRAM to 3000mhz but it didn't make much of a difference. So I have tested with default bios and clear CMOS it's still low and I don't have any OC software.
I just installed my Hyper 212 this morning, the CPU runs a lot cooler, 20c lower in fact. it now peaks at 72C in R20 instead of 92c which was in the red so this is great. The CPU is now hitting 4.0ghz but still scoring low in R20 and not hitting that 4.2ghz it should.
My Windows version: 1607 (OD Build 14393.3384)
Bios version: 2901 - AMD AGESA Combo-AM4 1.0.0.3
Done another R20 test, got 3425 screenshot below of what that looked like in RM and CPU-Z.
Hope this is everything you need. Thanks
ADD SOLVED!!!!!!!
I reverted my GPU driver back to 19.12.1 and my CPU is now boosting right up to 4.2 and I'm getting 3630 on R20.
The reason I reverted back from 2020 driver is because it's breaking Boneworks VR so I planned on reverting back, playing the game and then going back to the 2020 driver. I reverted did a test and all my CPU scores are back up to where they should be!
Why on earth is this 2020 GPU driver messing with my CPU?
Hi, MisterJ Thanks for the reply I have Windows 10 + 750W Corsair Power supply.
I don't know what the black background is or how I did that, I'll try to undo it.
I've been doing research and it seems like my RAM is all running fine as well, I'm really at a loss.
Hi John. Here is a screen of RM under load. I will try take the cmos out so its fresh and see what happens next.
ADD:
I have cleared the CMOS, did a test number where off. Went into Bios re-enabled the PBO & OPB thing, the RAM was off and had to set that to 3000mhz so it's all running correctly. But I am not really scoring higher yet it seems the CPU Mhz is slightly higher, up to 3930mhz and it's getting pretty how at the end of the R20 benchmark as you can see below.
Updated the Bios from 2801 to 2901 ( I think where the numbers) and no change to performance.
I have a Hyper 212 I've been meaning to put on for a month so I might try that tomorrow incase its a thermal thing.
