Sub-par perfomance of 5800x3D

[owlpoolsolo]

Hello, I recently purchased a 5800x3D and I've noticed not so much of an improvement over my previous 3700x. Clock speed never goes higher than 3.4hz. Temps are 34° at idle and 57° at max (I'm using a Be Quiet cpu cooler, it worked rather well with the 3700x).

 

When benchmarked with Cinebench R23 I got a multicore score of 11315, when it should be around the 1400s. Gaming doesn't look any better as well.

I suspect it is very much related to my MSI X570-A Pro mobo. I already tried every BIOS that supports the CPU and updated the chipset drivers to the latest ones.

Would you happen to know how to solve my issue? Is there some BIOS configuration I might be missing out on?

Do you PBO enabled in your motherboard settings?

Did you reset CMOS when swapping the CPU ? 

Any X570 board should have no issue powering a 5800X3D, but your clocks and thermals are as if you got 0 boost...

I didn't (I really don't fully understand what that is), I'll look for a guide for my specific mobo and I'll get back to you.

Sadly, I did try that. I saw no difference.

don't think PBO is possible for the 5800X3D, but it should still boost over 4GHz, and OP chip seems locked at 3.4Ghz base clock

As you said, I just checked and don't have that option enabled for this CPU. Is there another way to "force" it out of base clock?

Shoot! Didn't check it. Not that familiar with AMD's product lineup as of now....

There should still be some option to trigger boost or not, can you post pics of your BIOS screens ?

This Forum post from august 3d with the same problem was solved by a bios update, so check that

I'm an idiot. Turns out Windows energy plan had change to balanced mode. After putting it back to performance i got the clock and performance boost.

This CPU performance is amazing

You may wanna make sure you have the latest chipset drivers installed and using Ryzen Balanced/Performance power plan.
