Hello.
I run a 5950X on an Asus Prime X570-P and I seem to have an issue with "Ryzen Master".
I noticed that my Cinebench Single Core value seemed low. The reference was a 5950X@4.9 GHz, mine reported as 5950X@4GHz, so I thought maybe this is a OCed system in which case I would be fine. But further reading and discussion with friends brought me to the conclusion that in fact something is off with my system and that single cores should go up to 4.9 GHz or even more, without any OCing or fiddling with PBO settings. Expected default behaviour. But all cores never got beyond 4000MHz, capped exactly at that, values did get lower though. No matter the tool btw. Ryzen Master also reported Maximum 4000MHz, unless I applied the settings, then it would switch to reported maximum 5000MHz or depending on BIOS setttings upto 5150MHz, but still it would never actually go beyond the 4000MHz.
So I tried all sorts of combinations of ASUS-related settings in the BIOS and AMD-related settings in the BIOS. I tried factory defaults for BIOS. I uptdated the BIOS. I uptdated all drivers.
Deinstalling Ryzen Master fixed it, though. It didnt even occur to me that the tool might do something weird until Ryzen Master seemed to be stuck in a reboot loop. Edit: The curve optimization was disabled, so this was not the program rebooting multiple times as it is expected for the automatic curve tuning.
Without having it installed now and the BIOS all in defaults it boosts up to 5050MHz, Cinebench is 20% faster (from 81 up to 96), it reports as 5950x@3.4GHz now.
Any ideas as if I did anything wrong or might this be some sort of bug/incompatibilty with the ASUS firmware or something? What is the normal procedure when I want to work with Ryzen Master? Having the BIOS all in default and using Ryzen Master did not work for me and at some point the tool got stuck in a reboot loop.
I never changed any BIOS defaults other than enabling the XMP (I know its called different) settings prior to this bug hunting, and overall this is a very clean and "out of the box" setup.
I know this is a somewhat confusing "report", but that is the situation.
BR, Max
