Question Configure - Gigabyte B650i AX + AMD Ryzen 9950X

Hello folks, I need help with configure (tune) the bios settings for my new pc build.

I just assembled the PC and I made a benchmark test for CPU (AMD Ryzen 9950X), but the result is approximately 15% lower than what the processor offers.
As I understand it, there are some limitations due to the B650 chipset, but with some correct settings in the bios I can reach the processor's performance.
But the problem is that I don't know what settings I need to change in the BIOS.

My configuration is:

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650i AX (F32 bios)
Cpu: AMD Ryzen 9950X
+
96 GB Ram Kingstone Fury Renegate 6000Mhz CL32, 5060TI 16gb, 850W Corsair Platinum SF, water cooling, case with 5 fans, room temperature ~22°C.

I want to obtain the standard performance (or best) than what the processor offers.

Many thanks!

Based off of what link/source? What results are you getting with your setup?

You have one more BIOS version pending an update, please note that you will need to update your chipset driver before you flash the BIOS.

96 GB Ram,
This is the capacity, got a link to the ram kit you're using?

You forgot to mention the make and model of your case. Include ambient room air temps as well as the temps for your CPU.

As I understand it, there are some limitations due to the B650 chipset, but with some correct settings in the bios I can reach the processor's performance.
Just an FYI, the board you currently have is a 5+2+1 VRM design, if I were you, I'd have gotten something more beefier if I was going to drop a Ryzen 9950X into the socket.

Moved thread from CPUs section to Systems section.
