[SOLVED] CPU clock stuck at 4649mhz

[atulking]

I just noticed this after a month after I built my pc.
The CPU is Amd Ryzen 5600x
GPU - GTX 970

It says the clock speed is at max but i don't think that's right. What can I do to fix it? I attached a picture

Check the clock speed with Ryzen Master:
AMD Ryzen™ Master Utility for Overclocking Control | AMD
OR HWinfo:
Download HWiNFO latest release

And show us what they show you.
It could just be a bug in that NZXT CAM software.

You could try Uninstalling it (along with associated Registry Entries) then Reboot and Install the newest version it and see what happens.
It may not even be updated to support Ryzen 5000 CPU's yet.

are these settings normal?

The CPU clocks look about right to me.
All I can really see wrong in that is the fact that your RAM is running at 2133 (1066 x 2).
Have you tried setting the XMP (DOCP) profile in the BIOS ?
That RAM should run at 3600 or at the very least 3200.

Also When you run HWInfo, check the Sensors Only box to get a better idea of clocks and temps. and a LOT of other info.

I had some problems with the bios and the motherboard not working when I first built the PC. I have a Tomahawk b550 motherboard. I flashed the bios multiples times until it finally somehow managed to boot up and i haven't questioned it since then lol. But the Gen 4 PCI slot on the motherboard doesn't work also and so I have to put my GTX 970 on the slot below it. I still don't know whats wrong with it but I will try your suggestion for the RAM. If there is anything else I should try please let me know and thank you

The PCI-E Gen 4 Slot should be able to be set to PCI-E 3 mode in the BIOS.
Also did you Set the Optimized Default Settings in that BIOS after you updated it ?
If Not, I would do that just to be sure everything is on Stock settings.

i set everything to default from the bios, however i didnt know what settings to change on the ram. I also saw the window for changing pci slot to 3.0 however i didnt do it bc im not sure. Take a look at these pics

The 1st pic shows PCI-E set to Auto but it can most likely be set to 3.0 only which might solve your issue with that top PCI-E slot (if you want to move the GPU).
If you are fine with the GPU where it is leave that setting on Auto.

The second pic shows the A-XMP profile 1 is enabled (for your 3600 RAM) which is what you want, so that's fine.

Yea will putting my gpu on the upper slot increase performance, or anything else positive if i change it to 3.0?

It won't make any real difference in performance that I am aware of.
But the top PCI-E slot is reinforced so it should help reduce GPU sag over time.

Got it thank you for all the help!
