Ryzen 5 1600 Low Clock??

[Legendaryk4]

Hey guys, just built my system yesterday and for some reason the CPU is sitting at 1.33mhz. All drivers are up to date and when in the bios I have "game mode" enabled to give a little OC. I have tried turning that off. Nothing seems to be working. The mobo is a MSI b350 gaming plus. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

maybe it is just at idle, does it also perform poorly when you are gaming or putting a load on it in any other way?

Modern CPUs by default clock down to save power when there isn't anything requiring a lot of grunt. Fire up e.g. Cinebench and check your clocks when it's running, and you're likely to see the clock-speed jump up to where it's supposed to be.

Ill give cinebench a try and ill let you know.

Just ran cinebench.... usage topped out at 43% and clock speed didnt go past 1.34. Also got a terrible score of 467. Task manager also says max speed 3.2mhz if that helps.

Also tried using Ryzen Master and that didnt do shit.

Dont use that app, uninstall it, reset CMOS and update your BIOS to latest version.

 Okay, so I uninstalled ryzen master, reset CMOS, and it set my cpu back to 3.2. However, I went into bios and turned on XMP to increase my RAM speed and my cpu dropped back to 1.33.... reset the CMOS again, fixed it. So how the hell do I get my ram closer to its actual clock speed and OC the cpu without it throttling

Also for the hell of it I ran cinebench again and got 1128 this time

dont use XMP

Well, I guess I would eventually have to learn to manually OC at some point in my life. Might as well start now.
