How to adjust the clock speed for Ryzen 5 3600?
How to adjust the clock speed for Ryzen 5 3600?
So i have 3600 on the Asrock B550m Pro4. I put in Freezer 13 today because the stock cooler wasn’t keeping up with the load.
In A-tuning (which is probably the Asrock MBO control center) there are three modes: performance, standard, and energy saving. The standard mode usually keeps the CPU at 4.1 GHz, but I discovered that energy saving lowers it to 2.19 until it needs to rise again.
Since Freezer 13 can’t maintain that temperature for long—especially during a game lasting about 10 minutes—it became clear to me that 4.2GHz is actually an overclock. The base clock should be around 3.6GHz, which might help avoid heat issues.
I’m wondering if anyone can assist me in setting the Ryzen to 3.6 GHz using Ryzen Master or A-tuning. I’m not familiar with voltages or anything technical, and I don’t want to make a mistake. Thanks in advance.
The base clock of 3.6ghz is not the speed the chip should be running at all the time...that's the minimum speed under sustained 100% cpu load.
The chip should, under normal use, scale individual cores up to 4.2ghz given adequate cooling...that is the normal operation of the chip. Set the cpu multiplier in the BIOS to Auto and let the chip manage itself...it does a great job of it and will give you good performance given proper cooling.
There's little benefit to running PBO so having it off isn't a big deal for the 3600.
If you feel the chip is running hot then make sure the cpu cooler is properly mounted and look at your case airflow as a possible issue.

everything appears fine, but when the CPU is heavily used the cooler reaches its maximum temperature and the heat continues to rise. The player played for 10-15 minutes while monitoring the temperature, and it is gradually increasing but shouldn't keep going up. Is a faulty CPU causing this issue?
The freezer 143 isn't an ideal CPU cooler. Generally, increasing load temperatures suggest inadequate case airflow and possible hotspots inside. Could you share the case and fan setup you're using? Also, what are the room and ambient temperatures?
my case (antec nx100) has an in-house temperature of 24-27C. it's also important to mention that once the temperature exceeded 90C, the case became very hot—literally risking burns to hands. question: does the BIOS allow temperature adjustments, do I have one available?
The issue you're having is caused by poor case airflow...you basically have little to none with obstruction at the front and the cpu fan pointing up there's not much heat leaving the case.
You can prove this by leaving the side panel off and pointing a room fan into the case...I'm willing to bet that will solve your problem.
