Higher the ram clock speed the lower the max cpu clock speed

[looterwar]

I've noticed that the higher I push my ram clock speeds the lower my maximum cpu clock speed can achieve.

I've got a ryzen 2600x with a max clock of 4.2GHz running Corsair vengeance 3000MHz ram at 2400MHz after applying XMP profile to 2800MHz the cpu can only reach 4.05MHz and further increasing to 2966MHz will limit the cpu to 3.9GHz

Is this normal or a limitation of the power supply?

hi
it seems that your power supply can't support all of that maybe or your cpu is getting bottlenecked

I was thinking it might be something to do with the power supply, currently have 500W might bump it to 650W to see if it still happens

What motherboard did u used?
If you bought 80+ Psu so dont worry.
try to OC to 3000 or 3200Mhz and MEM VTT on 0.675V and DRAM Voltage 1,35V.
After that if you using ryzen 2600x, with aftermarket cooler i suggest you to OC "only" while you want to gaming or rendering. with Ryzen Master, If you OC on BIOS, i don't think it will enabled XFR2 and Precision Boost 2.
Good Luck.
Increase CPU Voltage by 1.4V for the limit of daily use.

500 watt is very enough for 2600x since it only 150-200 watt on full load.
