I recently installed my new system and am attempting to push my Ryzen 5 1600x further by overclocking it. My motherboard is an ASRock x370 Taichi. I managed to reach a 3.7 GHz with 1.3 watts, and the system reaches 45°C during a 10-minute stress test on AIDA64. However, when trying to increase the frequency further, it drops to 2.2 MHz. I saw someone mention that my GPU might be limiting performance. I’m unsure where or how to fix this issue, or if this is the maximum achievable with my CPU.

Adjust the voltage to 1.4v, disable all power-saving and turbo options, and observe the processor performance. It should reach 3.9 to 4GHz at that setting. BTW, GPU and eventual bottlenecking are irrelevant here.

Your overclock didn't work and the CPU slowed down to protect itself.

I believed if that were true the system would fail or not start. But could there be a way around it? Because when I enter it through UEFI it shows 3.75 MHz, yet in Windows with CPU_Z it reports 2.2 MHz.

I think I found the solution. It seems to be related to my Motherboard UEFI, as using AND Ryzen Master allows me to get a value above 3.7. Thanks for the assistance.
