[SOLVED] CPU running at half speed. 1546 MHz rather than overclocked 3800 MHz

[ahayden11]

Hi hope you guys can help.

My AMD Ryzen 5 1600 on every boot starts running at 1546MHz (1st image) rather than the overclocked 3800MHz (2nd image). The only way I can see to fix it is go into the bios and save and exit immediately and it updates to run at 3800MHz. I have also downloaded Ryzen Master and can select a profile on that which restarts the PC then everything runs smoothly.

I have disabled AMD Cool 'n Quiet. I also have my windows power settings set on 100%. The overclock is stable as I have left the AIDA64 Extreme CPU stress test on for 45 minutes before and had no issues. The only thing I can think of is changing the CMOS battery on my motherboard but I don't really want to reset the bios and I've only had the PC for 2 years.

I know this is a first world problem of sorts as I just need to open Ryzen Master and restart the computer and the CPU speed goes back to 3800MHz. But as you can imagine this is annoying if you just want to pop on the PC for an hour or so. I've attached some images, I hope you can help.

Thanks

Complete system spec's (motherboard, memory, GPU, PSU) are? Also what version of BIOS as some of the BIOS's released for Ryzen 3000 CPU's really aren't great for Ryzen 1000 or 2000 even though they worked, sort of.

You may not want to but a CMOS reset would be the logical first step if it's not booting reliably with custom BIOS settings you've made.

Yeah it probably just needs to happen, will be annoying if it's not the reason though so wanted to check before I did it.

Thanks again
