Does "Max CPU boost override" not work?
Does "Max CPU boost override" not work?
Hi,
I attempted to enable the "Max CPU boost override" on my 5950x but noticed no change in core clocks or benchmark outcomes. According to HwInfo, the CPU isn’t reaching any limits such as TDC/EDC/PPT/Temp, which is puzzling since I increased the boost by +200 MHz compared to +0 MHz. Is this typical behavior? Could I be doing something incorrectly?
My setup:
- 5950x processor
- Noctua NH-D15 cooling fan
- Asus B550 F Gaming mainboard with latest BIOS (2201)
- 64GB RAM at 3600 MHz
- BIOS settings: DOCP enabled, PBO set to Advanced, PBO Limits configured to Motherboard with a maximum of +200 MHz boost
I ran BoostTester using the jedi95/BoostTester program and performed 5 or 6 test cycles. The results show no significant difference between +0 MHz and +200 MHz. Are you seeing similar outcomes? What factors might be preventing the CPU from reaching higher boost levels?
Turn off PBO and check if your outcomes differ. 64GB spread across 4 slots or 2? If it's the latter, which slots are you using?
The RAM configuration is Crucial Ballistix BL2K32G36C16U4B at 3600 MHz, DDR4, 64GB (two 32GB modules), CL16. Two modules are installed in slots A2 and B2. This setup uses only DOCP in BIOS with no PBO. It allows even higher clock speeds.
I'm uncertain what to conclude from this information.
