ryzen7 Ryzen 7 3700x Clock Speeds

[michealvjosh]

My Ryzen used to go into turbo clock at around 4.3MHz going into games and whatnot, but as of recent it has stopped doing that and is sitting at around 3.518MHz under load and in idle. Is there any reason why it would do this? Temperatures all seem to be fine, at 3518MHz it idles around 36-37c and at 4.3MHz it jumps around in idle anywhere from 37, 45, or 55c’s which I’ve been told seems to be normal behavior when running boost clock in idle for this specific chip. The chip stopped boosting automatically under load when I updated my windows. Core performance boost is on, PBO is on, and AMD Cool n Quiet is on. I did not touch anything in the BIOS when this happened. I have not updated chipset drivers since December, could it be I need to update that?

Any help is appreciated, thank you !

Yes. Also check the BIOS on whether there's a newer update of that.

Do I need to update the BIOS? I'd rather just uninstall my current chipset then reinstall the current version. I just don't feel all that comfortable updating the BIOS.

You dont need to if chipset driver update already fixes the issue, but because Ryzen's ecosystem is not as mature as Intel it goes through more fixes even without new security exploits needing fixes.
