The Ryzen overclocking isn't visible in CPU-Z.
The Ryzen overclocking isn't visible in CPU-Z.
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.
which method is being used to properly initialize the cpu for testing?
I completed roughly 40 minutes of Prime 95 and my readings stayed consistent.
what are your windows power settings? put to maximum and see if anything changes.
I adjusted the performance settings on Max. When everything is set to auto in BIOS, my CPU runs at 3.6GHz as expected, but if I try to overclock it, the frequency drops to 2.2GHz no matter what the overclock value is.
