Running at 533MHz with the Ryzen 7 5800X? That’s impressive performance!
For background details, I own a Ryzen 7 5800X CPU with a 3060TI GPU and an Asrock Fatality 4K Gaming MB. I completely powered off my PC, restarted it the next morning, and discovered it was only clocking at 533MHz. This caused all my applications to run extremely sluggishly. After checking with NZXT, it appeared to be operating very slowly. My performance tests like Cinebench confirmed the issue too. I couldn't identify the cause initially. Restarting resolved the problem, but I'm puzzled about why this happened in the first place. The only theory I had was that a mining software I'd downloaded might have interfered with my CPU after about 45 minutes of use. Please help me understand...
I faced a comparable problem on my Ryzen 1700 system. The issue involved forcing the CPU to operate at 1.2GHz regardless of BIOS settings unless a restart occurred in Windows. The fix was updating the BIOS to the most recent version. It seems you may not have applied the latest updates, which led to several complications.
The BIOS came out before AMD officially confirmed B450 boards would work with the 5000 series, which means some bugs were likely unavoidable. Since no new issues have appeared yet, continue using it temporarily. Stay alert for an upcoming update that should resolve the existing problems.
