06-24-2016, 10:45 AM #22I'm seeing a minimum load around 4500 under Linpack Extreme. The stock speed is 3700, usually about 1ghz faster. When idle, clocks slow down, but during tasks like f@h it's 4600-4850 all day, depending on the workload. Something like SuperPi works at 5150. Occt runs at 4750. The lower clock speeds people mention don't match what I observe.
). I also updated the chipset drivers, motherboard firmware, and Windows before posting. Your words are motivating. Thanks. I'm using a 3080, so I don't think that's restricting my chip performance too much. I did the same as in picture one with EDC at 200 MHz, but it didn't run at the same speed today. If I cap EDC at 180, one core drops to just under 4600MHz while the other stays around 4100MHz. You mentioned it's a basic board—do you think swapping it for something higher-end would change how power reaches the chip? That could help you see better temperatures and clock speeds. If that’s the case, do you have any suggestions? It feels frustrating to play a CPU-heavy game with low frame rates, especially when others on similar systems are getting smooth 60 FPS or more. You might want to check Ryzen Master or HWInfo to see if the CPU is running at stock speeds instead of boosting. Your observation about cores being activated only when needed is interesting—why not just run all cores at full speed? That would likely improve performance and reduce those annoying frame drops.

06-24-2016, 10:45 AM #24i experimented quite a bit today and suddenly got a better understanding of what was happening. my curve came out at -20 PTT with a TDC of 140, DED of 100, and EDC of 190. even if i pushed further, the changes still affected maximum speeds noticeably. it stabilized around 2-5 MHz below 4400 MHz across all cores. on singlecore, the peak reached 5.05 GHz, and in cinebench singlecore it was 4.85-4.9 GHz. the biggest change came from the reduced frequencies—about 70-80 MHz less overall, which cut temperatures by roughly 10 degrees under all-core load. when i switched back to my kraken x63, idle temps dropped to around 69°C during load. in prime95 (with prior throttling), idle temps were low to mid 30s on aio and air. overall, while i didn’t reach my ideal temps, the lower heat and slight singlecore gain are nice improvements. win/win here—final cinebench R23 scores: MC 22261, SC 1621.
