So essentially the quickest way to tell if a board is good enough is if it's advertised specifically for that line of CPUs. I can just discount everything that's advertised for anything older than the CPU I have/want.

Yes I did say that I had a Biostar board in the OP, and yes I was looking at the SV12 TFN. The motherboard was also on the latest BIOS version to begin with and I reset the CMOS multiple times (However when I flashed to the second most recent BIOS version, I didn't -- still, the options in the...

I made sure the screws were tight as possible this time , but they were already screwed on as tightly as they'll go. I also popped the tempered glass off of my case and now it's sitting at a comfortable 45C on idle with the room air conditioned and a fan pointed at it. I think I could do without...

Just flashed A32ES311.BSS and while it changed up some options in the advanced tab in my BIOS, still no CPB option to be found. Could there be something wrong with the CPU? If so, is there any way to verify it without having to install an identical CPU on my system?

Wait, so given that my system is at around 50+C on startup, if I could get that down to around 45 would the BIOS just automatically flip CPB back on? Also while this CPU does tend to heat up quicker I can bring it down to what I remember my old temps being at peak CPU load with external cooling...

Would a poorly seated cooler really have such an effect as to make this motherboard disable CPB? Still I'll make sure to tighten it up real good this time. Where exactly would I be able to see that the CPU has gone into protect mode? EDIT: Just conducted 3 benchmarks -- the first with one...

There wasn't any. Just using the stock AMD wraith cooler. Temps are worse than with my Ryzen 3 but I thought that was a given cause of the stock cooler and the fact that there's more cores. This is my first time upgrading a CPU (sales person who sold my Ryzen 3 that was bundled with this board...

What's strange to me is that this board came with the most recent BIOS (Purchased in late 2022, latest BIOS is from May 2022), and like I said it let my Ryzen 3 boost just fine. I didn't check then whether CPB was enabled back then, as I didn't really have any need to delve into all this type of...

I think I'll give this a try. In your experience, has this trick been able to let a CPU that's stuck on base clock boost? I tried enabling PBO in BIOS but there was no change, though. Another thing worth noting is that my voltage is stuck at 0.975 at peak load, whereas my Ryzen 3 4350g tended...

Honestly right now MSI Afterburner reports that my bottleneck is my RX 5600 XT, so in most cases I don't need it that bad. There are just times when I feel like it should be outputting a lot more frames than it is, especially when GPU usage drops below 70% and CPU usage hits a wall, seemingly...

That didn't work, but thank you for your input.

I have tried Ryzen Master but I don't really have prior experience with it. I just clicked on optimize, activated auto-OC on all cores, no difference. Is there a setting in the advanced tab that could activate CPB for me? I was too scared to experiment myself.

But like I said I was running a Ryzen 3 4350g before this, and it reached its boost clock of ~4Ghz just fine. I understand that it has fewer cores etc but I thought my Ryzen 5 would at least hit 4 Ghz or just shy of it.

Ordered this CPU online and while it provided a marked improvement from my previous Ryzen 3 chip, I couldnt help but notice that I wasnt getting the right amount of bang for my buck. Sure enough, I bring up the CPU clock reading on MSI afterburner and the CPU never goes above the base frequency...

My laptop has a 2-in-1 jack, and a little while after getting it back from the repair shop it had stopped accepting audio peripherals with built-in mics properly. It accepts audio peripherals without mics alright though, albeit sometimes needing a little fiddling with the plug. I can get...
