Your Ryzen processor appears to be stuck at 4.07 GHz as reported by Task Manager, even though it should be capable of higher boosts. It seems the CPU isn't reaching its full potential, and running Cinebench under load doesn't push it beyond that limit. You've already tried diagnostics, but the issue persists. Consider checking for firmware updates, overheating issues, or BIOS settings that might restrict performance. If the score you mentioned (3604) is accurate, it could indicate a stable configuration rather than a problem. Seek further guidance from ASUS support or advanced BIOS tweaks.

Clock speeds depend on heat and the motherboard’s power delivery unit. Even with these factors, gains are limited—my friend uses an AIO cooler and still reaches about 4.15ghz on a B450 board.

Looks like you might have misinterpreted the information. You also own an AIO cooler with just one intake, and you're checking if your current cooling performance is within expected ranges.

Your Ryzen 3600 reaches a maximum of 3.9GHz under sustained load. It can briefly hit 4.1GHz before settling at a stable 3.9GHz and keeping temperatures around 79°C. I’m using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 heat sink, paired with two Cooler Master MF120 aRGB fans in push/pull mode. That should be typical for your setup.

It looks like after a reboot the boost clock works fine, but when waking from sleep the speed stays at 3.8. Using RyzenMaster to change the profile restarts boosting, which isn't ideal. There might be a background service or process preventing proper boosting. Check for any lingering startup scripts or system updates that could be affecting this behavior.
