Ryzen overclock not working.
Ryzen overclock not working.
I own a Ryzen 5-1600x with an MSI B350 Tomahawk motherboard. In UEFI I adjusted the CPU multiplier to 40 and frequency to 4000mhz, voltage to 1.35. When I open Windows and use CPU-Z or HW Monitor they both show my CPU running at 2200mhz, which is lower than its normal 3600mhz. However, both programs indicate a voltage that is 1.34 volts higher than the stock setting.
As long as the AMD Cool'n Quiet (or its name on Ryzen) is enabled and the system is in C6-state, your CPU will reduce its speed until it finds an application that requires full performance.
Stressing the CPU with Prime95 will make it run at 4000mhz, then keep it running for at least 30 minutes to check stability.

It seems you might be experiencing the BIOS overclock bug, which is quite common. You can find more details in this discussion thread.

As long as you keep AMD Cool'n Quiet (or its name on Ryzen) enabled and in C6 state, your CPU will slow down until it finds an app needing full performance.
Running Prime95 will push it to 4000mhz, then let it run for at least half an hour to check stability.
AMD cool N quite should remain off, and even when under heavy load the speed won’t change. It reports 2.2ghz, but after overclocking in BIOS, setting everything back to auto keeps it at 3.6ghz.

I also tried Prime95 for about 50 minutes while playing a game, and cpu-z on my second screen showed no changes in frequency.
