Your Ryzen 5 3600x is experiencing throttling because of a PROCHOT error, though temperatures stay below 40°C. This usually happens when the system detects instability or overheating risks. Possible causes include driver issues, power supply problems, or software conflicts. Check your BIOS settings for updates, ensure the power supply is stable, and run a clean boot to rule out background processes. If the issue persists, consider testing with a different cooler or checking fan operation.
It seems like your system might have misconfigured BIOS or OS settings. Have you attempted a factory reset of the BIOS to remove any modifications you've made?
I checked the discussion online. Someone mentioned an Asus 300 and 400 series motherboard problem, suggesting a BIOS update as a solution. You confirmed the BIOS is current. Would you have tried downloading a fresh copy and re-flashing it?
