[SOLVED] My Ryzen 7800X3D is dropping to 4.5 GHz in Cinebench ?

Solution
Everything seems to be fine. My 7800x3D reaches just over 18,000 points at stock settings and reaches 4.8GHz. But it's hard to achieve the same results because there are so many variables, including the rest of the hardware, room temperature, and the specific CPU. With different PBO max settings, I achieved 18,600 points, and that's only a 5% difference between your result at stock.If it's fine in games, there's nothing to worry about.
When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

What power plan is your system set to? Power saving or performance mode? Have you performed any undervolt on the processor?

Benchmarks stress your cpu on all cores for a longer period of time so I’d expect all cores to “settle” at the maximum speed your cooling setup can handle.

Games generally don’t stress all cores (because they can’t use that many threads) so you’ll get some cores boosting higher then when all cores are being stressed because there’s more cooling capacity available for the cores being stressed. Hence you could see 4.9 GHz.

When playing older games or gpu bottlenecked games or just browsing and stuff the cpu might not even need to boost that high because it doesn’t have that much to do so you’d only see 3.3 GHz.

I don’t know what kind of scores systems like yours get in this benchmark, but unless your score is way lower I wouldn’t worry.

Edit: just checked, 17500 is a perfectly normal score for that cpu.

After taking 2-3 tests in a row, I reached 18,600 points. Thank you for the answers.I switched from 9700k to this processor, there is a huge performance difference.
