I regularly run benchmarks like cinebench or furmark and use Hardwareinfo to monitor my performance. It seems my clock speeds aren’t reaching the rated 4.4 GHz, only hitting 3.9–4 GHz during demanding tasks. My temperatures stay low, rarely exceeding 60°C. This issue appears only when CPU usage is high. It might be due to a safety mechanism limiting cores to 4.4 GHz, but any details would be helpful.

I configure PBO and a curve, plus apply the boost override. My 5600X runs at 200/140/180-29 across all cores with +200MHz. It handles boosting to 4850 on every core without issues. R23 operates around 4700-4850MHz naturally. Alternatively, I could stick to a fixed 4700MHz with 1.275v and keep load stable.

Sure, look for trusted tutorials and safety-focused resources. You might find helpful videos on platforms like YouTube or reputable websites that emphasize proper techniques.

It's improving well. 4.4ghz is the main single-core speed boost. 4ghz works fine for all-core enhancement. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/qi...optimizer/ PBO may shorten lifespan and Curve Optimizer can affect stability. Boost Override lets you tweak performance up or down. Through some trials, you might achieve better speed with acceptable stability.

I didn’t follow any instructions, I just tried it out. And Ryzen Master is a mess.

I've checked my results closely. My single-core score stays around 1300, while my multi-core score jumps to 9461 points without extra background tasks. The difference is noticeable compared to online averages—5600 versus my own 11429. My temps are stable, so it’s likely a hardware limitation from the MSI X370 Gaming Plus motherboard. I had to update the BIOS to unlock full CPU performance. Upgrading or tweaking the BIOS settings might help improve things.

Checking if you're using the standard BIOS configuration and sharing a Ryzen Master screenshot during startup.

I received updated benchmarks on cinebench, raising single-core scores to 1529 points and multi-core to 10989 points. My CPU is also performing better now—around 4.2 GHz for all core tasks and 4.6 GHz on single-core. Appreciate the fix. Improved temperatures with undervolting and a significantly faster processor.
