Ryzen XFR

[Hugs12343]

Hi all,

 

I recently updated by bios for my ryzen system (specs in signature) to 4.50. Here is the page where I downloaded the bios. First I updated to 3.50 then to 4.50 just like it said.

 

Currently my system is overclocked to 3.8 GHz. When my system is idle, HW monitor shows I have a core clock of 3791 MHz on all cores (1-6) but CPU-Z reports them being 3593 MHz of all cores and task manager reports 3.29 Ghz. Task manger also says I have a base speed of 3.59 Ghz which is correct for a R5 1600x (although I'd love to know why is isn't 3.6 Ghz). When I run a stress test on all cores, HW monitor stays the same at 3791 MHz, CPU-Z shows the same and task manager shows 3.57 Ghz. So why isn't my overclock working. On an early bios, the cpu would lock to 3.8 Ghz and stay there no matter what. Then they enabled the cpu to lower the clock speed but it would still turbo/XFR to 3.8. Now it doesn't.

 

Why?

Hello,

first download HWiNFO. It is the best tool for ryzen monitoring, here: https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php

 

Than go to your Bios and enable the boost function. i do not know what it is called in the ASRock Bios but in my Gigabyte one it is under advanced CPU settings.

You should be great than.

Normally XFR only boost 2 cores. All Core boost means that all 16 Threads will go up to 3.8 GhZ or your personal settings. Also set your energy settings to ryzen balanced mode. If you do not have this powerplan download your latest chipset drivers here : https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4/index.asp#Download
