Question 5800X3D Clock Speeds Bellow Base Clock (SOLVED)

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!

can you post picture from ryzen master when CPU is under load?

also, have you updated chipset drivers?

I went ahead and downloaded the chipset drivers to verify it's been done and still no change. Here's the requested picture:

Have you ever reset CMOS since installing the new CPU? It's not difficult to do and whenever experiencing problems of this sort it's the first thing to do for troubleshooting.

it shouldn't run at base clock when under load, it should be boosting or am I missing something here?

mines never at base clock, I wouldn't know if it does run that speed, its either faster or slower.

The issue is my CPU is never at base clock, it has been underclocked ever since it was installed. While I would like my CPU to run higher than base clock, for right now I want to figure out why I cant even run it at the normal clock speed.

Something ain't right. Your memory timings are also WAY high. 24-23-23-23 is not great.

If you click down Control Mode does it give you any voltages? Maybe try EDC 120 PPT 120 TDC 80 with a boost over ride of 0.

Might be time to go back to Optimized Defaults for Mobo settings...

wonder if its the ram. thats not a set, you can't get 48gb in one set.

Have you tried running with just 1 set in? try with just the 32gb set or the 16gb one. Assuming they are sets.

AMD CPU picky with ram, you lucky you don't get other errors besides this.

Just tried your suggestion, nothing changed, but I'll be wary of it in the future. The 5900X I had before this had dead memory channels and the 2700X before that had the same so it's been a struggle between me and AMD CPUs. I only added the set of 2 8gigs around the time I got the 5800X3D

It doesn't let me toggle anything in the control mode panel, or really anything on that screen. I've gone to defaults in the BIOS a number of times, and tweaking anything from there doesn't change anything. I'll check on those memory timings though.

Yeah you might just want to remove 2 of the sticks, keep your 32gb pair in the 2nd and 4th slots (a2,B2) then set to DOCP.

Disabling fast boot for now might also be a good option

You may want to study up on the PBO settings in bios, also take a look at see what your CPU multiplier is in bios...

EDC 120 PPT 120 TDC 80, is a big nevermind, your settings for those were at the top of Ryzen Master and are stock set correctly, something else is keeping the CPU from performing.

What is your CPU multiplier set at in Bios? Should be set to Auto rather than any specific #

"If your motherboard has an auto overclock profile or something try turning that off. I found the OC Tuner mode on my Asus (non ROG) board was setting my CPU core clock to 36.00. I set this back to Auto and turned off the OC Tuner mode and now it boosts properly." https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/y93oxd/5800x3d_stuck_at_36ghz_help/

5800x3d are pretty much locked when it comes to changing a lot in bios as they have all the OC features disabled. Same applies to Ryzen Master.

IN most of the previous cases where this CPU stuck at 3.4ghz, its the bios to blame.

5800x3d stuck at base frequency.

I just installed a Ryzen 7 5800x3d. It is stuck at base frequency of 3.4 GHz. Is there some BIOS configuration I need to change or something to fix this?

So you on F5g? https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X570S-AERO-G-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios - you may need to flash it again as it should support CPU now.

@kerberos_20 , his problem isn't that he can't reach base clock, his problem is its running that slow to begin with.

Ryzen CPU never run at base clocks unless their cooling doesn't allow them to boost. He has an AIO so that shouldn't be reason

those are good temps, so no throttling there. Once he gets full speed its likely to increase temps.

He can't get boost clocks. his max speed is 3.3 when it should be 4.5. Like mine

did you remove a set? I wouldn't run with 2 sets regardless of it changing anything or not. Until its fixed anyway.

I officially feel stupid, but as per usual that is how it goes LOL. In past attempts I've only been trying to update the BIOS via gigabyte app center, which always told me I was on the current version (F3), and I just took it at face value. So when I saw you say this I thought surely I would've checked this. Anyways, after manually downloading the file and flashing the BIOS, I now have a boosted clock.

I appreciate all of y'all's help with this, it's always the simple stuff that can trip you up sometimes!
