Question CPU usage 100% in Cinebench but low clock speed and not hitting any limits after using Ryzen Master

[kaiba121321]

So as the title says, I used Ryzen Master, hoping to get an idea of curve optimizer settings before permanently applying them in the bios. Now I am sat here after getting fed up of a performance loss and uninstalling Ryzen Master, with about 300MHz lower clock speed on ALL cores while HWInfo says my CPU is at 100% usage running Cinebench and yet no limits are being hit, PPT, TDC, EDC, Thermal, none are hitting 100% but the CPU usage is at 100%. It's a 7950X3D and it's sat at between 4.7-5GHz all cores at 100% usage whereas before I used Ryzen Master it was at 4.9-5.2GHz all cores when running Cinebench. Please help, I paid a lot of money for this system, my first new PC in over 10 years and I really don't want to resort to something like removing the CMOS battery because it was bought from Overclockers UK, as a prebuilt, custom setup so I don't know if they did anything in bios. I was really confident in playing with Ryzen Master a bit but I don't think I'm ever going to touch overclocking again, I just want my system back to how it was before.

Ryzen master changes the values in bios in real time sp if they did over the pc you over wrote it using ryzen master then deleted all their values when unistaling it. Not much you can do to get it back to where they had it unless you oc it again yourself how they had it.

Oh that's lovely, cause all the threads online say "Ryzen Master is temporary, it removes it's settings after a restart" etc.

Which MB ? What about cooling ? Temperatures ?

The thing is it's not a problem of getting below spec speeds based on MB, cooling or temperatures because it's not thermal throttling, HWInfo says so. It's getting 100% usage at these low clock speeds now despite not hitting any limits. It WAS running the stated speeds before, there have been no hardware changes at all since then. The only thing that has changed is Ryzen Master was installed, messed with curve optimizer and then spent hours trying to get my original clock speeds back and then just uninstalled Ryzen Master after hitting the "reset" button in it.

Motherboard is an MSI B650 Tomahawk
Cooler is a Noctua NH-D15
Temperatures NORMALLY would hit 89 or 90C on the CPU under an intensive workload (which was the thermal limit in HWInfo and totally expected for a 7950X3D) but NOW, it hits like 83-85C and just sit there, never even reaches any of it's built in limits despite running 200-300MHz lower on all cores now.

I should specify, it's sustained clock I'm having a real issue with here, it can still peak up to the maximum turbo in short bursts, but it does not manage to get the same sustained clock speeds as before.

I gave them a call today and they actually saved a profile in bios, I need to reset cmos to 100% make sure of things but I'm planning on picking up some new fans for the front of the case on Monday so may as well do everything together and I'll update then

The CMOS clear, should involve either pressing a button on the mobo, or shorting to CLR pins. Once done, reset the bios to default, and all should be well.

You could also try Project Hydra. It's a one touch tuning app made by an AMD guru. See what results you get.

You can simply undo any profiles be deactivating them in the software. it's very handy.
