ryzen 2200g underperforming

[Greek Government]

i never see above 75% usage and my cinebench score is 1000 points less than a stock 2200g. I have mine OCd to 4.5 ghz. Any help would be appreciated/

Are you running single channel (1 module) or dual channel (2 modules) of RAM?

dual channel 16gb

How in the world did you get that CPU to OC to 4.5ghz? I built a system for my bro in law with a 2200g and couldn't get over 3.9ghz.

 

Are you sure that there aren't any background processes running with cinebech? What do your CPU temperatures look like?

I had a water cooler from my old intel i5 system. the 4.5 is just the boost clock tho. And that's kinda outdated too. I got it up to 5ghz stable somehow

I would use CPU-Z or Coretemp for the clock speed...If those clocks are correct, that's pretty impressive! I have a Ryzen 5 1600af and it absolutely will not do any better than 4ghz, no matter what.

if ryzen master is anything to believe, its around 35C idle, and it used to get around 75C under intense load, like a render.

Ryzen Master seems to be pretty accurate for temps. I compared it one day to coretemp and they were maybe 1 degree off from one another. How are you setting the OC? in UEFI or Ryzen Master?

 

What I would do is set everything back to factory settings and test it again. See if the cinebench scores at least match stock speeds...If they do, increment the clock speed up a little at a time and retesting.

I prefer the bios, Gigabyte has a pretty robust OC tool.

I don't know if you saw my last message before I updated it. Try setting everything back to factory in UEFI (make note of your settings or save it as a profile to come back to later), retest and then see if you can at least achieve stock scores. If it is relatively close, incrementally increase the clock speed and test again. Make sure you don't have any processes running in the background before running by opening up task manager.

lmao no I just saw it. I'll try that right now since I have a little free time. I'll get back to you 

Thanks

to make sure this wasnt a one time thing I ran it again, before making any changes, and as i though, stuck at 70% utilization for the whole run, did not boost once

Woah that’s certainly a huge improvement, I’ll let you know when the test is finished!

Nice! Is this set back to stock clocks?

Yup, 3.5ghz

How was the score?

okay test is done, i think its still a little slow because the ram was not OCd. its only at 2133mhz

Yeah, 2133 mhz is pretty slow. I would set the RAM to what it was running before (don't touch the CPU clock yet) and test again. It's so much easier to pinpoint and diagnose problems when you methodically look at one component at a time.

Yup that was my plan as well, I put the ram up to 3200 again and I’m running cinebench again. I’ll let you know the scores in 10 minutes ish

Cool, score should look a lot better!

It’s not much, but I’ll take any improvement I can get

That's probably about right...

 

Now, I would increment the CPU speeds by like maybe 100-200 mhz at a time and retest

Ok now I’m confused. I put the CPU to 3.8Ghz and the max usage dropped down to 94% and it scored less than the non OC run. And it’s definitely not a temperature issue either.

I'm wondering if it has maybe to do with Windows power management settings? Have you installed the AMD CPU drivers for Windows? Probably a long shot, but you never know...

Doesn’t hurt to try. I’m installing the newest drivers right now. Btw are you comfortable with talking about this over on discord? It’s much faster, and I actually get notifications. If not that’s completely ok
