    [SOLVED] Change 5950x frequency vs. workload defaults OR....

    OK...Looks like this time I really found the issue. Turns out Windows 10 was ignoring the power plan settings. I had to do THIS which enabled a setting in the advanced power management options "Disable Idle". Enabling "disable idle" stopped the core from variable clocks. Thanks everyone for...

    [SOLVED] Change 5950x frequency vs. workload defaults OR....

    Thanks wyliec2. Relevant (i think) specs are: Motherboard: Ass Tuf Gaming Pro wifi (latest BIOS) CPU: 5950x RAM: 32 GB 14-15-15-35 Teamgroup ram (16gbx2) Temps: Noctura 120mm cpu cooler: At 1.2 vcore, 4ghz, max core temp is ~75c (can get to 4ghz at a low vcore, but wanted to stress test the...

    [SOLVED] Change 5950x frequency vs. workload defaults OR....

    I'm very far away from those limits in my particular use case. I'm at 2-3% load, temp at max 40c. CPU is at about 20watt per Ryzen master; way under limits. PBO, unfortunately, did not help. Neither did: auto overclock, adjusting the frequency multiplier, or clock tuner for ryzen. These...

    [SOLVED] Change 5950x frequency vs. workload defaults OR....

    Thanks CountMike. Interesting idea to modify the performance curves using curve Optimizer. I'll try that tonight. I wonder if that will give me the kind of clock speed I'm looking for under low load. My understanding is that curve optimizer modifies voltage down per frequency to allow the cores...

    [SOLVED] Change 5950x frequency vs. workload defaults OR....

    Nope...spoke too soon. HWInfo64 reports a locked clock speed when it first opens. If you close it and open it again, then it shows a variable clock. So....starting to get frustrated here.....time for a rant.....been working on this for like 3 days straight: ------Rant Start------- With Intel...

    [SOLVED] Change 5950x frequency vs. workload defaults OR....

    Ok...looks like it got this working. Here's how I did it. The all-core boost does not stick; AMD's power management algorithms in the 5950x prevent it from staying at the overclock clock speeds (it throttles down). I therefore needed to (on a Asus Tuf Gaming x570 PRO wifi motherboard)...

    [SOLVED] Change 5950x frequency vs. workload defaults OR....

    Got it. Thanks CountMike. Verified the CCX as indeed clocked to my manual multiplier. in Ryzen Master. Also verified at full load well under 90c. I still see the 5950x cores sleeping. On Intel I could prevent cores from sleeping/slowing down. Any idea how to do that on a 5950x?

    [SOLVED] Change 5950x frequency vs. workload defaults OR....

    Hi everyone. I have a 5950x running stock (no OC). Peak speed per Ryzen Master capped at roughly 2ghz during my main workload (audio editing in Adobe Audition with various audio effects). Problem is that's not fast enough. I keep dropping samples due to the effects processing. Troubleshooting...
