CPU problems

[ChrisZH]

So I have a ryzen 3800x and an Asus strix-e x570 mobo. Sometimes on a boot up my CPU is stuck at like 1.5-1.6ghz and after a reboot the processor is running normal stock settings and boosting up to 4.4-4.5ghz. I am on latest Asus bios (1407) and CPU is not overclocked. I also have the DOCP settings up for my ram set at 3600mhz. I have no clue why it does this and haven't been able to find anything out online. If you need anymore data please let me know.

Is it something with windows or something with bios. Hhm

 

I would visit bios every restart for the next few to be sure it's running the correct frequency. If the bios is posted at desired values, Do not save and exit boot windows and compare frequency. If windows shows stuck, restart, visit bios to ensure bios is still set at desired value. 

 

Don't save and restart. Then put windows into performance mode and see if that helps with the clocks.

It happens rarely, Everytime it happens I go into BIOS on the next startup and everything looks normal. I'm in high performance profile in windows as well.

Gotta be a windows brain fart I'm thinking. Or perhaps the reporting software is goofy sometimes.

 

You could try QuickCpu which is a nice little power tool all in one app. You can control your boost, clocks and even gate cpu cores (core parking).

This is not an advertisement, I use this tool on all my Warp9-systems.

Are you at full utilization when it's at 1.5-16 GHz? It would be normal for it to downclock if it's not being used heavily.

It stays at that frequency no matter what. I first realized it when I was running heaven and getting like 1/3 of my normal fps. The clock is fixed at that speed for some reason. When I restart my fps goes back to normal with the clock speed change. I thought it was fixed with the new BIOS update but it wasn't. I even tried reseating the CPU but it didn't change anything. It doesn't seem to be a board issue because it happens very rarely but I'm just lost as to why it happen on my zen2 based system but not on my 1700x system.

What does this utility do? Because I've tried cpuz and looking at things but everything appears normal no matter what. I thought it was just the reporting software messing up but you can feel it's sluggish in anything you do. But a restart brings it back to normal.

It does a lot of features in one. 

 

You want to monitor your drive usage maybe if its sluggish.

I'm running two nvme ssds for my drives. I really doubt it's the drives lol. Hopefully amd post on their site.
