Can Not Overclock

[Diexo]

Hi there,

My Rig consists of a Ryzen 1600 on a Asus ROG Strix B350-f gaming and 16GB Ballistix  2666.

Every time I change the CPU multiplier and boot int windows the frequency appears to be halved.

Already changed the power mode to performance. 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance

Run a benchmark that would put load on the CPU, then check the frequencies.

What tool are you using for checking the CPU info?

Your CPU won't run at its full speed unless it needs to, run something intensive like @jj9987 said and check something like task manager or CPU-Z for accurate readouts.

 

Also, dumb question, but are you sure you saved your profile in the bios before exiting?

Windows power profile set for high performance?

Sorry, did not know where to post it.

Yes, i got into the bios afterwards and it listed the overclocked freq. It is only when it boots to windows that half freq appears. (checked with HWMonitor) 

 

I ran Cinebench and got half of the score.

I ran Cinebench and got half the score in comparison to the stock speeds. (Stock: 1015 OC: 467)

I am using Cpu-Z and HWMonitor. Both list about 1515 GHz.

Are you power or thermally limited? I'm assuming you're not, but it helps. I'd also try reinstalling the programs or, failing that, a windows reinstall or a mobo/cpu swap to see if anything changes.
