Ryzen 5 2600 high clockspeed but no OC

[Triventular]

So I recently upgraded my rig to  a Ryzen Build.

 

Ryzen 5 2600

Gigabyte B450 DS3H

Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 3200mhz

 

While I have my RAM on XMP. My CPU is running on 3750~-3900mhz an all cores when I start it up.. I find it weird cuz iirc that cpu should run at 3.4ghz. I checked the BIOS and its all running stock at 3.4ghz except the RAM.

 

 

I also have Ryzen Master but its not opened and should not be applying overclock on startup and the profile I set before I restarted to the default on Game Mode. I currently have to load the profile everytime I restart my pc to get it back to default clocks and settings.

 

Is it normal to have all cores on higher clock speeds even when doing nothing? While I would enjoy the higher clock speeds, I am still using the stock cooler since I ran out of thermal paste to use my bigger cooler with it and it idles at around 54-59c.

 

Any piece of advice would be appreciated.

First - don't use afterburner to track the CPU - it's inaccurate.
Second, 3.4 is the base clock, your CPU also has a boost clock
Third - use Ryzen Master for Ryzen

1. I also checked on cpu-z and its also reporting the same.

2. If its the boost clock. I dont understand why its running at that speed all the time even when im not doing anything on my pc after startup.

3. I currently use it to bring the clocks down to normal but i find it annoying to do so (or maybe im just doing something wrong here)

1 & 2 - only Ryzen Master accurately tracks Ryzen CPUs - CPU-Z, HWMonitor, Afterburner all ping the CPU causing maximum performance states to be constant. They're issue here.
3 - only Ryzen master accurately displays information and controls Zen CPUs.

2. because Ryzen does not save power by lowering clock speed
