Hey everyone! I own a Ryzen 5 3600 and recently overclocked it. After a few months of stable performance, I wanted to push it even further. I made sure all the BIOS settings were updated: 4300mhz core clock, 1.2375v for the CPU, and 1.1250v for NB/SOC voltage. I tried using the 1usmus CTR tool, but it didn’t really help much. From what I’ve seen, it can give you a per-core clock and the lowest stable voltages—like it suggested around 1.288v for 4300mhz, which is higher than what I’ve been running for months.

So I decided to go back to the basics. I adjusted my BIOS settings again, setting CCX0 to 4300 and CCX1 to 4325. I kept the original voltages and used the same tools (Aida and Cinebench). Interestingly, after testing with CTR (which uses Prime95), my clock seemed to drop to about 3.2ghz once I restarted, and it stayed there.

I also got a new cooler, but temperatures stayed normal—never exceeding 72°C or 161.6°F. I noticed PBO keeps turning itself on in the BIOS, even when I disable it manually. I’m not sure why this happens, but it seems to be linked with Prime95 causing a downclock. Also, my stress tests and Cinebench runs didn’t show any significant drops in clock speeds.

In short, I set the clocks in BIOS for each core in CCX, used the original voltages, and ran Prime95. Now my max speed is stuck around 3.2GHz until I power off the PC. What could be causing this?
