Ryzen 5 2600 weird performance issues

I have a ryzen 5 2600 with a Rx 470 8gb. At the stock settings the CPU usage is 95-99% and gpu usage is very low (40-60%). The base clock for CPU was 3.4ghz so I clocked it to 3.5ghz in bios and the GPU usage was ok now (95-99%) but the CPU speed is now only 3.5ghz where as it ran on 3600-3650mhz before. What could be the problem....

Specs:-

Ryzen 5 2600

Rx 460 8gb sapphire nitro plus

500W PSU

1x8gb DDR 4 Ram @ 3000mhz ( I know I should use dual channel)

Mobo: Asus b350ma

Could be some Bios - Chipsetdriver issue. CPU should handle / max out the gpu more then just easy. 
Reset Bios, make sure newest is installed. also chipsetdriver. 
Check your temperatures if somethings thermal throtteling. Normally it should boost higher.

1. High CPU usage in games is because of only single channel RAM.

 

2. Your CPU is ring only at 3.5ghz because you told it to.

i5-14600KF // 120x38MM Cooler Master AIO // B760i // 64GB DDR5 6000 // PNY RTX 5070 // Cooler Master NCORE 100 Max // Cooler Master V SFX-850 Gold // UWQHD AOC Display
