Hi all.
Very new to AMD CPU build. I have just built a R9 9950x on a MSI X670e MAG wifi board. 96Gb memory
2TB NVMe boot drive 12TB Nvme and 12Tb ssd storage. GTX 1080 8Gb graphics card. For the software i use a graphics card plays no part at all.
I built this setup to run 1 program only which is Pixinsight. I do astrophotography and combine hundreds of images in the 200-300mb file size for each range to make a final image.
With the latest Bios from MSI and a fresh install of W10 and the latest drivers from AMD inc Ryzen Master. My dilemma is this.
I can in Bios get memory to run at 6000 but CPU speed is only at 4.3MHz. In Ryzen Master i have it set to 5MHz all core which is stable and tested. I click apply it reboots but when i go into Bios. It still says 4.3MHz. Also looking at Ryzen Master my core use is all over the place. I can have 1 core at 5.7MHz all cores at 1.2MHz or 4 cores at 3.8MHz.
I'm not getting 5MHz constantly.
My software will use every core available and as much of my memory as it can. Currently its using 78Gb.
What am i doing wrong if anything or is this how It's supposed to work.
My old system was a 14 core Broadwell running all cores at 3.4MHz which is a lot faster than i am seeing with this CPU.
