CPU speed won't go past 2.2 Ghz even thought the base speed is 4.0 Ghz

[cmbuild2018]

I've been getting a lot of frame stuttering in games and when I'm streaming and been doing a lot of research and apparently my CPU speed is stuck at 2.2 Ghz according to CPU-Z and task manager.

But on Core Temp, it's reading 4.0 Ghz, which is my overclocked speed. Then I look at task manager and the base speed is shown as 4.0 Ghz but the speed is at 2.2 Ghz. At max load, my CPU usage is only 55% and still at 2.2 Ghz.

I've serached tons of forums and websites trying to find a solution to this and I can't seem to find the right one. Any help is appreciated.

Do you have or had Ryzen Master?

I have not. I'm installing it right now though.

Is there a certain setting I need to change in the program?

You need to dial back the OC frequency or reduce the voltage. The R5 1600 is going into limp mode for self protection. If you give it voltage and frequency settings it does not accept it will auto set it to something like what you are seeing.

Dont install it. I was just wondering if you did.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from cmbuild2018 : "Slow mode switch on MSI B350M Gaming Pro?"

I’ve been having CPU speed issues with my Ryzen 5 1600x. I overclocked it to 4.0 ghrz and when I check the speeds on cpu-z and task manager, the speed it’s only at 2.2 ghrz, but the base speed on task manager is recorded as 4.0. I’ve been trying to do a lot of research and one thing I found was the “slow mode” switch on the motherboard. That being said, when I looked around my motherboard I couldn’t find the switch anywhere and I can’t find anything on the internet to help me. Does anyone know where it is or have suggestions on how to fix my issue?

Due to power saving features of the CPU you will get low power states when the CPU is not under a load. You can change your "power scheme".

There is High Performance mode that just leaves the processor at it's maximum clock speed at all times. Another is Ryzen Balanced Power mode.

Tried that and it's still stuck at 2.2 Ghz. I'm going to post a new thread under CPU to see if anyone can help me solve it.
