Issue with Ryzen 3900X achieving maximum performance boosts. Problem resolved.
Hey there! It sounds like you're trying to figure out why your Ryzen 3900X isn't reaching its full potential under stress tests. From what you shared, the peak speeds seem to be around 3.99-4.46 GHz depending on the test type, and the temperatures are relatively low compared to what you expect. You mentioned using an ASUS X570-A board with default BIOS settings except for DOCP enabled. It might help to double-check that DOCP is properly configured and not causing unexpected behavior. Also, ensure your cooling solution is functioning correctly—your readings seem stable at high loads. If you can provide more details about the stress test setup or any recent changes, it could give further insight.
It looks like you're adjusting performance settings. Core turbo should be noticeably lower than single core turbo unless you manually tweak it in the BIOS. Consider turning on precision boost overdrive if it isn't already active—it could boost speeds by 100-200 MHz.
Ensure your motherboard runs the most recent BIOS update. This will also enhance performance.
Oh yeah, it's a bit disappointing. It's not that fast, but having it quicker would be great!
Latest versions are getting much better now. My 3600x stays within 20mhz of the claimed improvement. Under 0.5%. On the turbo, using 1 or 2 cores is possible. Try AMD Master and run Cinabench on a single core. You’ll likely notice it reaching near the intended speed at times.
The updated BIOS brought significant improvements over the previous version. Your device likely had a standard setup, but the new one enhances performance and stability.
It doesn’t seem like a big impact was noticed. I didn’t run a comparison chart before and after testing. Heavy multitasking keeps speeds consistent. Performance has stayed around 4GHz for large parallel jobs since my initial tests.
