Hey everyone, looking into some odd behavior on this new build. The specs include a Ryzen 3600X, MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi, 32GB Gskill RAM at 3200MHz, and MSI 2080Ti. When I first assembled everything yesterday, the stock GPU voltage came out at 1.42V, which felt way too high and led to high temperatures. I adjusted it down to 1.3V manually. After updating the BIOS settings, both Ryzen Master and HW Monitor displayed a voltage of 1.1V. I thought maybe it was just a display error, but testing Cinebench showed only a boost to 3.8MHz. Now I’m back in BIOS and set it to auto for voltage. The CPU is still showing 4.1MHz, but the monitors still read 1.1V. It’s confusing—could I have been too long in this setting? This doesn’t match what others are seeing either.

Software monitoring detected a low voltage of 1.3V. Adjust to 1.35V and set your frequency to manual around 4.1–4.2GHz.

The frequency section appears gray because it doesn’t respond like a voltage setting.

You need to visit profile 1 and select the top choice manual overclock option.

I tested it at 4100 and it worked fine. At 4200 it kept freezing during Cinebench. After finishing, it blue-screened. I went back to 4100 and it ran smoothly again. Probably means it won’t reach higher without more voltage. Edit: Or maybe it’s just not going that high by design. I’ve read many Ryzen CPUs don’t hit the advertised boost speeds no matter what. It seems like luck. Honestly, if that’s true I’m okay with it. What matters is getting the best performance possible.
