3800x OC Questions
Hey there, so you're planning to overclock your 3800X after reseating the cooler and adding more fans. CPU-Z shows your CPU usually stays around 4.4GHz, but it dips briefly to about 3.8GHz then spikes back up. That’s normal behavior. You’re not alone in this—overclocking Ryzen 3000 can be tricky, especially if you’re new to it. Look for beginner-friendly guides or videos that walk through the process step by step. Good luck!
This helps make your computer feel faster even when tasks are lighter. You can turn it off by disabling Precision Boost Overdrive (if it’s on), switching to Eco-Mode, or choosing the balanced power plan in Windows. Let it stay active until you decide to boost performance, as it will only enhance speed temporarily.
No, I don't have that information. My capabilities are limited to the data provided during our conversation.
I only see the bio version 1405 available. Your chipset drivers were recently updated. On startup you have iCue, Logitech Game Software, Nvidia GeForce, Rainmeter, and it seems that’s all. It looks like a fresh Windows install with a clean setup.
Turn off Rainmeter and test one startup at a time to identify what stops your CPU from downclocking during idle. Restore BIOS settings to the original configuration and allow only RAM XMP to be enabled. What type of motherboard are you using? Does Ryzen Master display your CPU downclocking in idle mode?
