ryzen 3600 boost issue

[mechVixen]

so im running a 3600 on a gigabyte b550I aorus pro ax with 3200 cl16 ram, in ryzen master no matter what i do the peak speed never reaches 4.1ghz and usually hovers around 4.0 at peak load. my effective clock in hwinfo reaches 4192 but the discrete clock doesn't. i can get up to 4150 on both ccx's at 1.25v with clockTuner so i know i can reach 4.1 ghz with my silicon. is this normal and I'm not comprehending the info or is something up?

What you're seeing is pretty normally I think. 3rd gen ryzen seems to rarely ever hit or come close to hitting advertised boost clocks unless under very specific loads. I believe it'll only boost up in short, single threaded tasks, while sustained all core loads will have lower clocks across all cores.

Unless you manually overclock the CPU. In default mode all core boost is about 4.0GHz. Single core boost is 4.2GHz.

Does it look like this for you?

 

 

 

Because that's about normal, depending on the workload and how many cores are used.

 

I regularly hit 4.2, but while gaming and such it's more like 4.0, which again is "normal" the CPU works as intended
