I got a great deal on a 3800x Ryzen 7 cpu, and before installing it in my Crosshair VI Hero x370 motherboard I made sure the bios was up to date. Everything is recognized fine and running alright, but I noticed some oddities.
For one, the clock speed doesn't seem to go over 4.3. I'm not OCing, aside from the automated profiles built into the bios. I've read that this was an issue, supposedly addressed with bios updates. I'm thinking this is an issue with using an older x370, and I have a b550 on the way (back ordered). My CPU-Z is also showing that the min and max clocks are the same, but Ryzen Master is showing the clocks fluctuating more reasonable. So that also leads me to believe its just a mobo compatibility quirk.
I'm also noting that the voltage. It's stsying steady at 1.395. I know 3800x use more power and runs hotter (40c with my deep cool 360 aio at idle) but I'd like to confirm if this is in that safe window.
I don't think any of these are problems, but id appreciate a second opinion on these just to be safe.
Thanks!
