use hwinfo64 to see the actual clocks (min, max / average). could also be some settings from pbo / bios are not set properly.

havent tried uninstalling yet, only shutdown. not sure if id would make a difference, since power plans can be applied without reboot, too, but ill try. anyway it was said that monitor or other tools make bad requests to the cpu (race condition), so i should probably leave it away. just noticed...

id suggest clearing cmos, load (optimized) defaults, then make a fresh windows installation with the latest image version and all up to date drivers. usually this solves almost everything and saves you time for troubleshooting.

i read about that safe voltage, too. currently im running with all power saving and boost features enabled, all voltages on auto. will try zenstates, is there an up to date version? btw whats the difference between pbo and automatic overclocking? what is soc uncore mode? im using process lasso...

theres no such thing as a cool'n'quiet setting in the bios. none of the power saving or boost features can be disabled effectively, all settings are ignored by the cpu. im disabling core performance boost, because it is also responsible for downclocking and c-states. im trying to achieve to...

i head reports about blown vrm on msi boards, too. im using the gigabyte x570 ud now and it turned out really nice. best board i ever had.

i have a ryzen 3600 here on a gigabyte x570 ud bios f4b, that is apparently disobeying bios and power plan settings specifically such as disabling of "core performance boost", "global c-state control", "ccpc" and "minimum performance state of processor", "core parking". using windows 10 1903...

i read that, too, even that specifically the msi x570-a pro will run supposedly normally with 8-pin although the vrms will get hotter then. so theres something going on with only 8 instead 8+4 pin connection. others said that even other components than the cpu are powered over the extra 4 pin...

thanks for your replies! i already got the msi x570-a pro, then realized too late that my psu (be quiet straight power 10) does not even feature the extra 8+4 pin cpu power, which is really a downside i didnt expect. i thought i have it due to cable management, but turned out wrong, theres only...

im trying to figure out the differences, pros and cons of these boards. does anyone have experience with them or can recommend one over the other? i understand they are both pretty good. still im curious, does the vrm, phase count and power layout of the boards make any difference? why does the...

apart from running the cpu on a non-z board, what is the maximum memory speed i can run it with on this mainboard?

i did it and it felt so good. uninstalled and cleaned all intel drivers and dead devices beforehand (use ccleaner, too). beware nasty issues with intel pro set. it can be a buggy deinstallation prompting you for the original msi installer. intel me froze the pc on the first uninstall, worked...
