System fails to recognize XMP and Boost Clock settings
System fails to recognize XMP and Boost Clock settings
MSI x570 gaming plus mobo advertises frequencies up to 4800, but achieved stable performance up to 3600 with acceptable voltage levels. For testing purposes, they opted for XMP profile 1 (3200) instead. They used ADATA D41 modules that MSI had explicitly tested and validated, and boosted the clock in the BIOS, which was expected to deliver around 4.1GHz to the processor (Ryzen 5 3600, max boost is 4.2). Despite this, benchmarks and system information software report the CPU running at 3.6GHz and RAM at 1333, totaling 2666. The question remains: how can I exceed these industry standards with the features available? Yes, they recently flashed the mobo with the latest BIOS update, which reportedly resolved the boost problems. Both CPU power modules are connected, and the PSU is a 750W Seasonic focus gold unit, ensuring sufficient power draw won’t be an issue.
In the "Learn more" section of Memory, there is an asterisk indicating that compatibility varies by model. The 4800MHz is the top specification among X570 motherboards. Review the compatibility list for specifics. MSI Afterburner is intended for manual GPU overclocking, ideal for power users seeking additional performance from their graphics card. However, I can't determine why it displays such low values—my settings appear normal.

What is your GPU model and make? Also, what does GPU-Z report? (download link)
Care to link the page from where you cut those two advertising images? Since on MoBo official specs, there are no such claims present,

Also, according to MoBo specs, max RAM speed it supports is 4400 Mhz, not 4800 Mhz. Moreover, if you want your RAM to run at e.g 4400 Mhz then you have to buy that
specific
RAM which is designed to run at 4400 Mhz (e.g
this one
). There is no way on earth you can get 4800 Mhz out of RAM which is designed to work at 3200 Mhz.
Speaking of your CPU OC, here i need you to link that official MSI statement where MSI states that once you enable Game Boost from BIOS, it's guaranteed that R5 3600 CPU will run at 4.1 Ghz.
Not expressing a desire for 4800, I was referring to the mention of up to 4800 (click on the memory tab with the sine waves, straight from the website). Here’s a brief visual summary of the page you linked. I’ve resolved those problems and everything is now stable and happy.
My curiosity remains about what MSI Afterburner is doing—my GPU FPS seems normal, but MSI After Burner interprets it differently. Do you know what’s happening here? This is just the default base settings; I haven’t adjusted the GPU.

Everything left alone, that’s the way it should be (I’m pretty sure the clock shouldn’t be set to 2054 since the boost clock is only meant to be 1905, right? Self-occing?) Another set of pictures
XFX RX 5700XT RAW II, though for the sake of time I can’t seem to find any details about it on the GPU site, even the GPU-Z search gives nothing. It’s really thick that and sometimes someone else asks about raw 2
If it could help,
1,
2,
3, got 3DMark and HeavenBenchmark 4.0 results too if you need them
You own this GPU?

From MSI Afterburner it seems not all aftermarket RX 5700XT GPUs are included, which could lead to incorrect clock/memory speed readings. Also, it appears you can't overclock the GPU using MSI Afterburner at the moment.
However, GPU-Z and UserBenchmark indicate your GPU is functioning within normal parameters.
The model number points to this official specifications page. With the release scheduled for August 2019, I'm fairly certain it hasn't been included in the MSI Afterburner database, which might explain the unusual readings.
Without that model number it's really difficult to locate, isn't it?
