I installed a new R7 5800X3D a few months ago and ever since I've had issues with it having a 3.3Ghz clock rather than it's 3.4Ghz base clock. I am using a Gigabyte Aero X570 with an up-to-date bios, a Corsaire AIO water cooler, a 1000W PSU, and 4 sticks of 3200mhz RAM totalling 48gbs of memory. The CPU temperature is well within parameters, idle it sits around 32 degrees C, during gaming it hardly ever goes over 45 degrees and at load only 51 degrees. Something interesting I've noticed is that it sips power at load, drawing only 54W, but I'm not sure if that is a cause of just a symptom.
Steps I've taken to try and remedy this has been:
1. Manually change the clock speeds in the BIOS and in gigabytes app center
2. Flash the BIOS
3. Ensure the CPU has no bent threads and reapplied thermal paste
4. Install AMD-Specific software like Ryzen Master to see if I can tweak anything in there
After all of these steps done multiple times ad nauseam, I'm at wits end. The only thing I can think of doing at this point is taking the CPU out and putting together another system and seeing what it does there, but that would most definitely be a last resort for me to determine if it's just an issue with the CPU itself. If anyone can help me think of something before I go to this step, it would be of great help. Thanks!
