Limited to 105w
You're experiencing a situation where your CPU isn't utilizing more than 105W even with the BIOS and power settings adjusted. The temperatures remain low, so thermal constraints aren't the issue. It might be worth checking other factors like motherboard compatibility, power delivery efficiency, or CPU cooler performance. Consider testing with a different cooler or verifying the motherboard's power delivery capabilities. Let me know if you'd like further guidance!
We verified with RyzenMaster that performance exceeds the default under reduced threading, though power usage remains constrained across all threads, peaking between 3.9–4.0 GHz.
I'm testing the CPU performance; GPU shouldn't cause any problems.
Interesting. I'm not used to Ryzen settings, so I can't pinpoint the exact options, but it seems there are several boost thresholds for different phases, along with current limits. It looks like you might need to increase the current values; otherwise, your CPU could be reaching its maximum and refusing additional power.
Which exact board are we discussing? (Several MSI MAG B550 options exist) Are the VRM temps tracked by HWInfo64? And were you adjusting TDC, EDC, and PPT together—those settings usually reduce power consumption prior to PPT activation?
Rest CMOS, apply full PPT/EDC/TDC range, enable PBO, and perform testing.
Board temperatures remain very low, MOSFETs stayed below 40°C
