Reduce Lower Cinebench score during overclocking. Assistance needed.
I just ran Cinebench R15 once more at the same 3.65GHz and checked the temperatures on the Ryzen Master Software. When the game began, the temperature rose by nearly 20 degrees Celsius. Is this typical? Now I’m starting to wonder if the system is throttling the temperature. If that’s the case, what should I do?
I just tested Cinebench three times, two at around 1580 and now one at 1494. Each run started with a temperature drop to 41°C first. The temps stayed below 65°C throughout, so I'm still trying to figure out what's happening.
If several pairs of cores fail to reduce their multiplier (and therefore clockspeed), it likely isn't a temperature-related throttle problem. However, power-envelope throttling might still be occurring. Test by adjusting the OC in small increments and observe if the clock speed improves to match or exceed stock levels.
If some pairs of cores fail to reduce their multiplier (and thus clockspeed), it may not be a temperature-related throttle problem. However, power-envelope throttling could still be occurring. Test by adjusting the OC in small increments and observe if the CB improves to match or exceed stock performance.

I plan to boost from stock clocks at 50MHz steps and test CB, then share my findings later. However, I'm curious about what might lead to a power-envelope throttling. Could it be if the CPU uses more power (watts) than the VRM can supply without overheating or other complications?
I raised my CPU clock speeds in 50MHz steps and here are the Cinebench R15 outcomes:
- 3.6GHz = 1563cb
- 3.65Ghz = 1582cb
- 3.7GHz = 1605cb
- 3.75GHz = 1618cb
- 3.8GHz = 1626cb
I set the VDDR CPU Voltage to 1.341V and enabled Extreme Power Phase Control. I tested Cinebench three times, but noticed temperatures rising from 42°C to 68°C during testing—uncertain if this indicates throttling. I didn’t run Prime95 for speeds above 3.65GHz to verify stability. The results seem less consistent as the clock speed increased.
