How To Find & FIX Ryzen 3000 Boost Problems

The AMD 3rd gen Ryzen 3000 series CPUs are some of the best processors ever released but there a few minor problems which may prevent them from performing as expected. In this video we go over how to find and in some cases possibly fix issues with CPU boost, BIOS settings, high idle frequencies and more on X570, X470 and B450.

Regarding 5:21...Yes when everything is running smoothly and without any manual or auto overclocking the 3900X can boost itself to 4.65GHz in lightly-threaded workloads. On some motherboards, with certain BIOS revisions. Confusing we

Thanks, finally tech reviewer who addresses this problem!

[JessedoesDIY]

Wow, This just helped me a ton! I had a couple problems going on for my 3700X and this solved it. Thanks so much for explaining it so well

[loganwebb]

Thank you for addressing the high voltage issue!! Finally, someone acknowledged this

[Wicket_]

thank you! there is such a crazy splat of info out there since launch with all these issues that it's become a headache to narrow down what is a real information/solutions and what is just someones bandaid! this really covers what's wrong and how to fix it.

Great video, even 4 years later still helpful for Ryzen 3000 owners to see how the processor should behave.

Thank you very much!

[eheroi]

It feels like the rest of the YouTubers are on holiday. Thanks for this video.

For those of us playing along at home, Why does my "Ryzen Master" window look different?
I can see my Memory Clock, but no "fabric clock" reading that I can see?
(and completely different layout. I just installed the latest. . ? )

Hey, Ebert. Good video about incorrect performance or boost performance. I wouldn’t have noticed this myself. Until, of course seeing this video.

[DanteWoo]

In the following oc video, will you use any rog board to show the oc steps on bios?

THANK YOU for being one of the few reviewers who are talking about issues with the platform and not being
"hey amd is perfect here is our affiliate link" from whea errors on x370 boards(agesa 1.0.0.1) to x570 boards and running high voltage's or 300 mhz off max(agesa 1.0.0.3) are just the issues i have dealt with since my 3800x purchase ... for canadians your

for some reason my pc refuses to let me pick the ryzen power plans. it forces it on normal balanced mode and when I click on the others you can see the radio button for a sec then it switches back. any ideas?

[iseeu-fppo]

My HWINFO doesn't show realtime CPU cloks, only fixed values. And there is no "Sensors only" option. That box/menu doesn't come up when I start it...

3700X is gimped on memory bandwidth*
Can reviewers compare and show those graphs soon please.

6:50 OMG overclocking tutorials YES!
You guys are testing new waters.
GOD SPEED.

[JoshKaufmanstuff]

Can you look into the benefits of tightening Ram timings vs. frequency in your upcoming OC video?
It seems like it's a better investment to buy higher spec Ram and OC/tighten, than to buy better MOBO or CPU coolers, for Zen 2. . .
Can you confirm/ refute this?

[omsin]

Thanks, this fixed my issue with memory and cpu performance.

Some of the problems are in power plans that do not allow for processor to dip below certain percentage of utilisation.
