Hello. I have PBO turned on, it’s set to +200, and I’m not experiencing any overheating. My CPU doesn’t increase its speed during heavy tasks—p95, r23, even games—it stays around 4.2GHz, which is about 0.6GHz below what it should boost. Often it caps at 4GHz. When idle, like sitting on the desk, it goes up to 4.6GHz, which doesn’t seem logical to me. I’m running a Ryzen 7 5700X on a B550 Aorus Elite V2 with a Cooler Master Ml240L v2 Liquid Cooler.

For all-core tasks, your CPU will increase less compared to lightly threaded workloads. This pattern has remained consistent since Intel launched Turbo Boost 15 years ago. Maximum performance is only achieved when one or two cores are active.

It seems everything is functioning well. I'm using a 5900x which temporarily reaches 4950GHZ, but overall it stays around 3.6 during regular tasks. Cinebench 23 shows average scores across all cores at 22702, with 100% utilization and a stable 4.5GHz speed without any changes. I also lowered the voltage because the power efficiency was impressive.

Yea, well mine dont even get to 4,5 running cinebench, and the air out of my exhaust fans is ice cold haha. Only hits 4ghz steadily and hangs around 50 degrees, but outside of cinebench it idles at 4,2...

before adjusting my setup I experienced faster clock rates during idle, but real tasks kept performance stable. the first capture displays a score of 4.8 in cinebench, which drops to 4.1—this is typical. cinebench evaluates CPU efficiency beyond just wall-clock results; it assesses how well the processor handles various workloads. too many view it as a speed test, but it actually measures efficiency during rendering tasks. it’s built to help users determine what fits their needs in a professional setting. your temperatures are solid since the performance remains consistent across cores at a steady pace, which is ideal if you assume your idle speeds are strong—consider tweaking performance with undervolting if needed. overall, the 5700x seems to be running much better than my 5900x. also keep in mind that idle readings often come from AIDA64, showing a single core boost rather than full-core improvement. you should compare idle speeds with workload performance and check if your motherboard settings affect CPU behavior, which might be missed. I still believe your CPU is functioning well based on the data from the HWinfo sensor panel screenshots.
