Recently bougt a 7950x3d and cant seem to get more then 4.8 GHz

have an 360 arctic aio super low tems ryzen master seems to OC it to a max boost of 5.9 GHZ but it still run at 4.88GHz no budge at all and have an X670E TUF gaming board and soppesedly should have no issues on that end

hey brother , im no expert with these 3d chips, i basically have been learning since the new amd am5 was released.  the memory was the worst issue.  If you want to take my advice , i wouldn't use ryzen  master with any 3d chips.  my versions of ryzen master always says its not compatable with 3d chips anyway.  I change my top temp to 95degrees, and it sets it properly in my bios, but ryzen master still shows it at 89 so dont even use it.  

I run cpu-z , open the clocks menu, and i did use ryzen master to see which cores were way faster then the others.  and they matched my cpuz clocks.   ( dont forget ryzen master starts counting cores at 1 not zero so always go one core down when undervolting.   

 

im running a 9 7950x3d on a gigabyte aorus master x670E , using a NZXT 340 mm AIO cooler and i swear my cpu spends most of its time in the 40's . I do have one of those cheaper cpu lock down portrait, that makes the cooler able to sit on the cpu perfectly straight.   

i can tell you , i've spent hours upon hours upon hours tuning the cpu, until finally im getting high scores on everything i run.  cinebench , it jumps from stock around 32k to 36k.   the single core is what you really want to see the improvements on.  just using cpu-z my single core stock was 119-130, today i scored 190 on the single core, i submitted it under Jersey Johnny, its up there in the top 10 for single core.   not bad. 

 

 

if you want to try my settings, obviously you know its not gonna be exactly the same.  turn pbo to advanced, then choose motherboard, then negative cores.  (I did negative core 30 on every core in the beginging), but once i saw my core 0 on the cache board running at 5.4 ghz constatnly, i run it along with others at 35.

then open up the load line curve and choose extreme ( choose the line that goes slightly negative, do not choose the one that goes in a straight line because that defeats the purpose of undervolting to get higher clock speeds.)  maybe you can have better luck then I did, but i left my scalar alone.  Im talking easily over a thousand pts in 3d mark and other benchmarks.  i was choosing positive , 10, 200 which does't actually overclock it just raises the ceiling, but i think it was actually holding me back.  once i set it back to auto my cpu clocks were all going over 5.4ghz.  other then that , i disabled my internal gpu (just figured maybe it would help with cooling), and i run my ram at its expo setting at 6000mhz. the temps are amazing.  i've never had a cpu run so fast and so cool at the same time.    I heard the newer 3d chips run even cooler with the cache loctated on the bottom of the chiplet.  Anyway, hope i could help you out.  Now if i can get my hands on a rtx5090 for msrp ill be a happy owner. lol.
