  1. Yes, I can do that. But then it's locked at that speed and it doesn't boost under load.
  2. As I said, I did all those things. I left the CMOS unplugged for 10 minutes because it was nearly impossible to plug back in, and I also held down the power button while it was unplugged to make sure I drained all the electricity. And I updated the chipset drivers and everything. Still at 4 GHz though.
  3. Did all that. Nothing changed. Also uninstalled Ryzen Master but nothing changed. I installed Gigabyte's Easytune software but it doesn't even open, which is unsurprising since it's a piece of software that's made by Gigabyte.
  4. Important specs: Ryzen 7 2700x Gigabyte AB350N-ITX Kraken X61 AIO cooler I've been having a problem where my CPU constantly runs at or near 4GHz even when there is no load. This leads to high idle temps (65c). This only happened after I started using Ryzen Master, before this I would use my motherboard's overclocking tool however it was quite useless because it's made by Gigabyte and their software is garbage. Ryzen master says everything is at stock. When I put a load on the CPU, my temps go up to 90 degrees and my motherboard VRMs thermal throttle at 125 (!) degrees celsius. The VRM's overheating is a seperate problem but for now I'm just worried about my CPU's inability to control its clocks. I've tried to reset my BIOS settings to default but this problem remains. When I set the Ryzen Master profile to manual, I can pin the CPU at a lower speed but then it doesn't boost under load so I'd be losing out on performance. I've also installed the Ryzen balanced power plan but this changed absolutely nothing. All I want is for my CPU to run at low speeds when there's no load and to boost to (or near) its rated boost clock when there's a load. Any idea how I could get there?
  5. intel should have a public datasheet depictinf functions of all the pins. Google is your best buddy here
  6. I don't think they should be doing liquid metal if they can barely even get the build to work, but oh well.
  7. Remove the motherboard and make sure the IO shield is put in properly and none of its metal bits go into the USB ports.
  8. Yeah that's probably why it's gone. Factory defects happen. If you buy used parts then you know they'll work because they've already been used and thus they work.
  9. Try reseating ram and cpu. If that doesn't fix it then likely your board is gone due to old age.
  10. If that doesn't work then likely the motherboard is gone. CPU's are very unlikely to fail because they're small and tightly engineered with few components.
  11. 1. Invest in a bigger SSD instead of multiple ones. 2. Do you really need 32GB of ram? 3. X570 motherboard is overkill. Get a B550 one and your wallet will approve. 4. 750w power supply is overkill, 500w should be fine 5. You don't need an AIO liquid cooler unless you really need it to look cool. 6. Ryzen 3600 vs 3600x is a small difference. Get the 3600 instead Then with all this saved money, get a better GPU.
  12. Base clock is irrelevant, you should be paying attention to the boost clock. The CPU constantly changes it's speed according to the load, and it will even drop under the base clock under very light usage, so really the base clock is a useless figure.
  13. Reseat the CPU and clean its contacts on the underside. If the RAM functionality is spotty and the motherboard is blaming the CPU then it's probably the CPU.
