I just installed a Ryzen 7 5800x3d. It is stuck at base frequency of 3.4 GHz.

Is there some BIOS configuration I need to change or something to fix this?

@Aashishkebab  sometimes when things like this happen to me,

- I ensure that my BIOS is updated to the latest version,

- I reset the BIOS to default,

- If it is still not working, safely power of the PC, switch of the power supply for 20seconds and switch on again,

- Boot into Windows a few times, as Windows also gets confused for 1-2 times after it has configured itself for new hardware.

In addition, make sure you have a motherboard with enough power phases + VRMs for the CPU, as it needs to be able to give enough power to different parts of the CPU.

Hope you get it fixed.

Have you updated BIOS, tried turning off 'cool & quiet' in bios maybe ?

What motherboard/BIOS version are you using? Please make sure you are using the latest BIOS for your motherboard which has support for the 5800X3D.

It was actually a BIOS update that needed to happen. I wish they said these things in the CPU packaging though.
