So I was testing my new ryzen 5 3600 in cinebench r20 and got a score of 785. (the expected result of the CPU is around 3600.)
PC specs;
ryzen 5 3600, vega 56, 650 watt PSU, B450 A-Pro with updated drivers, 3200 mhz ram and cooler: Noctua NH-D15.
Things I tried and looked up; CPU is 40 degrees, the CPU is running 100% in cinebench at 4 GHZ. I also tried clearing the CMOS and using other BIOS.

Any solutions?
 
Cinebench R20, runing all cores test on a stock (non-oc) Ryzen 5 3600 should take around 75 seconds (give or take), it will vary depending on the cooling and how high it may boost.

If it takes way longer than that then yeah, most likely something is broken/damaged or theres something else we are missing.
 
Thats really strange, also GPU going to low 1% is not that wierd, GPu usage is really low for example when in load screens in game.

  • What software are you using to get all this data in game, MSI afterburner ?
  • Also did you check how long it takes to render the scene in Cinebench all core test ?
Well I orderded and tried a new motherboard to test if that would make a difference. Well it just works nornal now! Sending the other motherboard back to MSI now

Yeah, when this kind of things happend (and theres an electrical adapter involved) then is most likely to damage the component its plugged (in your case the motherborad).

I just wrote all the things I could imagine for you to try. But having a second mobo is always the best way to test and find the issue.
