Stuck at 3900x with a 3.7ghz frequency.
3900x in ASUS B450-F is stuck at 3.7ghz. I attempted to adjust settings in BIOS as recommended, but nothing resolved it. Recently discovered it can run above 4.
Is that the main clock, right? Have you checked if stress testing or benchmarking your system improves its speed? Since high-performance CPUs usually run at their base clock when not in use, only activate them when necessary. If that doesn’t help, consider resetting your CMOS to verify if any BIOS tweaks were incorrect.
I tested Cinebench and Ryzen Master stress. No major changes in BIOS except turning it on and off, and I'm considering a reset.
ran CBR15 multiple times but never exceeded 66, maintained 3.7ghz and 1.1v
It appears the system is locked at 1.1v with a 3900x setting, typically around that temperature. Try pressing "Reset" on the left side of Ryzen Master to return to factory defaults, and check if that resolves the issue.
I found the problem. My power plan reached maximum usage at 99%, which locked me into base clock. Now I’m seeing other strange behaviors, though they might not be fixed with the current configuration. My idle clock is higher than load clock—around 4.2ghz, 55°C, dropping to 4.0ghz, 81°C under load. The CPU fan is much louder at these speeds and makes me worry, which is why I changed the power plan. The noise isn’t huge, but the occasional spikes bother me.
