Question Different messurements from Amd Adrenaline and MSI Afterburner

[Wetles89]

Hi.

I was having some confusion over my cpu frequency when MSI afterburner refused to show a frequency below 5250mhz on my 7600x. So i went into my Adrenaline app as well and turned on the metrics and the differences are quite stunning. I am in-game atm and MSI is show a CPU frequency of 5250mhz while AMD shows around 2500mhz. The temp is sitting around 6C highter in MSI and the current Watt usage is 50 in MSI and 20 in AMD.

Swich one should I trust?

Use Ryzen Master and/or HWinfo. Adrenaline app and Afterburner are primarily. for GPUs.
