The question asks if a drop in clock speed for Ryzen 9700x during Prime95 testing is typical.
My 9700x is at stock. During Prime95 testing, temperatures reach about 55°C with peak power usage near 88W. Initially, clock speed stays around 5GHz for a few minutes, briefly reaching up to 5.4GHz. After that, it gradually decreases to as low as 3.8GHz before rising again to 4.7-4.8GHz. When the CPU slows down, voltage also drops slightly to 0.95V. Is this typical? I also ran a PassMark test and my score is just below the benchmark, so it seems fine.
Ok good to hear. Since max turbo is 5.5, I was expecting to see that as long as there is temperature headroom . I will turn on pbo and see how it goes.
