Is there an issue or a constraint in progress?

Hey there, how are you all? I built my PC last year in December for gaming and rendering. Here’s what I got: AMD Ryzen 2700X with stock RGB cooler (not overclocked), MSI RTX 2060 Super, MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon GSKill 2x16GB at 3000MHz RAM, a 1TB SATA Samsung SSD with four 120mm coolers (two in, two out), and a 600W quiet power supply. I also have two 23-inch 1080p monitors at 75Hz. Everything seems to be working fine, but I’m feeling a bit underwhelmed by the performance.

In Unigin Heaven Benchmark 4.0, I scored 2535 points with an average FPS of 100.6 (min 36.4, max 198.9) using these settings: Render mode Direct3D11, 1920x1080 at 8xAA fullscreen, custom quality preset, ultra tessellation, extreme. This result matches systems that use an i5-6500 or an EVGA GTX 1060 with 6GB RAM and a RX 470. I’m not considered a top-tier PC builder, but something feels off here—my friend with the same setup (half the RAM, RX 570) got similar FPS.

My temps stayed around 70°C for both GPU and CPU even after long gaming sessions. The RAM was set to 2133MHz despite being a 3000MHz kit. I tried pushing it up to 3000, but the system became unstable. At 2800MHz it runs without crashes, though the fans are much louder now. Is this a motherboard issue?

What do you think about the Unigin score? Does anyone know why RAM auto-sets to 2133MHz even though it’s 3000? And what’s with the low RAM speed setting?

Cheers from Germany, stay safe and healthy!

Stress tests are less important if the system runs smoothly. Just try updating the BIOS and see if it works—otherwise you might have lost the chip and gotten a faulty memory controller. Test your build in a game first, then compare results.

For the memory, the cpu is 2933mt/s compatible. So thats why its unstable past this frequency. There is no bottle neck with 2700x and RTX 2060 at all. Its a great pair to game with.

Check AMD's official site for the newest chipset drivers. To achieve 3000 MHz RAM performance, apply XMP profiles instead of adjusting speeds manually.

Thanks for your prompt responses; I really value it. I think I’ve got the newest chipset drivers, but I’ll make sure to verify!

I aim to improve the wording, perhaps that will work. I think the board was launched well before the 2060 super, which might help.
