this is what my fastest 2 cores are doing during a single core R23 Cinebench run. They seem to boost, drop and then the other one boosts and drops. Back and forth.... Why are 2 cores double teaming a single core benchmark? (4.625 was not the highest. i think i screenshotted as it was rising but the max single core boost i was getting was 4.85 in that test)

yea i played with the values for PBO as described in that video and was happy with the tuned all core clocks. I then moved to manipulate those values again for a single core an that's when i witnessed the crazy fluctuation. I was going to get to the Curve Optimizer at some point but didn't get that far due to the single core issue.

5 part series but this one is where he starts manipulating values. Like i said before though, prior to any manipulation of the precision boost overdrive i gamed for months and definitely noticed via fpscounter that the boost clocks hitting 4.7-5.0 but holding for a second or less before dropping. So it's definitely been an issue since before I knew it was an issue. I am not familiar with the CPU boost stuff so had no idea that boost clocks were supposed to hold for longer than a split second lol.

I have a 5950x that i am trying to tune on ryzen master with the help of some youtube videos. Things were going along nicely manipulating PPT, TDC, & EDC and was getting all cores to a stable ~4.39GHz with a temp of about 77C while running multi core Cinebench R23.... When i got to single core OC i fired up the cinebench single core and noticed my single core boosting to 4.7 then going back down to 4.1 to 3.5 back to 4.1 back to 4.7 and kind of rinses and repeats, spending seemingly more time below 4.0 GHz than above it and only briefly touching it's highest speeds before dropping. I noticed the guy in the video i was watching, with the same CPU and settings, had about 4.9-5.0 and it wasn't moving at all (he was close to 90C, i am way lower as stated before due to a thick 360 &480 radiator custom loop). I have been playing on this system since jan/feb and have definitely noticed the jumping/unstable boost while gaming but thought it was normal.... Is there an easy fix to this unstable boost issue? I would love to maintain a boosted speed with all the money i sunk into the chip itself and the custom cooling. Also the chip surface was far from flat, had real unsatisfactory temps early on with the custom loop so i lapped it with decent results. I only mention that because if this is an RMA issue, i am screwed. Thank you ahead of time for your assistance on this one and please let me know if there is more info i am leaving out that would help you understand my situation better.

You can see the dark stick and then the rainbow on the other stick of ram isn’t syncing with the tower rainbow in this pic (pls ignore the forehead smudge on the glass lol). Have built a lot of computers but this is my first full RGB build and it’s just a baffling aesthetic issue. I flashed the Bios on the board to ensure the 5950x would work with it since I had bought the board leading up to 5000 series launch. I have not flashed it recently, I do need the resizable bar for Nvidia support though so maybe I’ll give that a shot and see if it fixes the RGB. Appreciate the help and if it doesn’t work... maybe I’ll contact the ram manufacturer to see if they’ve heard of the problem

2 sticks and if i set the tower to a static color, the sticks will both be the default rainbow unless i manually sync them in armoury or aura. i just set the whole tower to rainbow because i was tired of manually setting the RGB just to get the RAM sticks to sync but now one of the sticks is dark (it does it sometimes but they both go back to rainbow with a restart usually). Everything else plugged into the RGB hubs and addressable RGB headers syncs (including after restart) to whatever color or lighting scheme i set in armoury or aura but the dang RAM. Sorry if the previous post was scant on details, was in a bit of a hurry.

Now I am kind of fed up with them as one of the sticks will randomly go out and not display any color. This problem is purely aesthetic as the processor and ram function fine... have tried the ASUS armoury crate and aura, neither will get the ram to cooperate.... is it the board the ram or more than likely (at least in my head it is), the processor causing this issue?? Note - system isn't stable at 4000mhz so it is at 3933 i think. any help would be appreciated

Seems as though there are very few GPU risers that are explicitly PCIE 4.0 compatible and even those ones won’t be fulfilled until the end of November (on amazon). I know the differences in performance on a 3000 series card with 3.0 v 4.0 only differ by a small percentage, but would I be “bottlenecking” to PCIE 3.0 performance if I used a 3.0 riser? Would be interested to hear what the pros on here would have to say about it or if anyone knows of any testing done on this subject. (I’m also aware I could lose performance using any riser be it 3.0 or 4.0) Also, on floatplane I noticed with the pyramid 2.0 video Alex and Linus are using risers for the pair of 3090s, so they must not be concerned with a performance drop or they have 4.0 compatible risers?

Knew it had to be something simple like that. Ty

This is almost surely me not understanding what I’m looking at but I enabled DOCP for my ram for 3200MHz and AIDA64 is showing clocks of 1600MHz.... is something wrong or is there a reason it’s showing half? Thanks ahead of time.

@-rascal- , did those exact steps and still says it’s not a proper bios file. Sorry about the cell phone pics instead of screenshots but it’s easier to read and respond on my phone while I tinker. ....several moments later I was taking pics walking through it and it honestly just took! Bios is updating! Thanks everyone for your help. Crossing fingers for some DOCP

I was using the rog crosshair non-WiFi bios firmware. Apparently the same bios number (2206) but it had a different file name. That also did not work... did not anticipate these kinds of problems with a bios flash from one of the largest hardware manufacturers. Such a bummer

So I redownloaded the bios CAP file, didn’t use the rename tool and still get the “not a proper bios” message .

I’ll try that @Lurick an I’ll try those settings too @Gloop thx! Will report back in a few if I’m still pulling my hair out

Well... I have 3200 MHz ram and don’t want to be running at 2133. I have 3200 GHz ram on my aux computer and a TUF mobo that cost about 1/4 of the price and DOCP worked fine. I paid quite a bit of money for performance and don’t want to leave anything on the table
