Posted July 12, 2017 Hello, When i am trying to overclock my Ryzen 1700 the clock speed shows in HWMonitor and CPU-Z as 1549MHz. But in the bios and on Task manager it shows the 'correct and higher' clock speed. Doesnt matter what i set the clock speeds to, as soon as it is not auto it doesnt display correct value. When i first start the system and load HWMonitor it will show the full clock speed and then instantly go down to 1549MHz. I am using the Ryzen R7 1700, MSI X370 Gaming Plus motherboard and 16GB corsair LPX Ram. Why is this happening? (added screenshot of problem) Thanks.

Posted July 12, 2017 Try putting a load on it and see if it goes up to the correct frequency. You can see that the max frequency it has been at was 3.5, so it's probably in a down clocked power saving state at the picture. Try restarting HW monitor while under load if it doesn't change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 12, 2017 Author Just opened up HW monitor and CPU-Z whilest running Cinebench. HWMonitor now says the full clock speed but CPU-Z doesnt. The Cinebench score i got was 572 cb? does that seem low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 12, 2017 Author As soon as i restore factory defualts in the BIOS the cpu is running at 3200MHZ and i get a Cinebench score of 1384! So why when i overclock does it go down?
