Not achieving performance gains with Ryzen 3700x
Not achieving performance gains with Ryzen 3700x
Hello everyone, welcome! I’m just starting out with PC gaming and noticed my CPU isn’t reaching its full potential—only 4.250 in games. Temperatures are between 60-65°C. Could you help me improve it? My setup includes a 3700X stock cooler, RTX 2070S, Super Gaming X Trio, motherboard ASUS ROG X570-F, 16GB RAM (2x8GB), AMD Ryzen tuned DDR4 dual kit, Corsair RM750x ATX PSU. Thanks!
First, check if your BIOS and chipset drivers are up to date. Next, confirm PBO is turned on. Then assess whether the cooler supports both PBO and actual boost performance. Finally, identify the game you're playing.
You don't really need to rely on pbo for boosting to 4.4. My 3700x rarely reaches 4.4 at stock settings, though it often lands around 4.3 with some variation—sometimes 4.39. A friend of mine with a 3700x consistently hits 4.4 during gaming or any CPU-heavy tasks. I’m not sure what your situation is. The stock cooler seems a bit odd to me, but temperatures appear normal. My cooler is a Noctua D15s.
