Question I am a little confused about what to make of my system performance ?

[HOLDMYPC]

Can anyone please tell what needs improvement (this is my custom build from 2020 - i got it for 700$)

Try enabling PBO.

Its on - sometimes it even makes things worse

Your system seems to be performing well for what it is, which is to say built from low-to-mid-tier components. CPU, system drive, memory specifically, but then they're performing well enough for you it seems.

If you want to upgrade these would be where I'd throw money at first: Ryzen 5600 (X version optional) CPU, 3600 memory and an NVME system drive, in that order. If you wanted to tweak CPU performance even more with PBO and Curve Optimizer then a new motherboard is needed (suggest a B550 model) and that would slot in ahead of the NVME.

Oh yes, do not use the stock cooler, especially with a 5600X. Get a decent one for best performance yet still be quiet and do so even if you do nothing else. It's almost like overclocking Ryzen when cooling is improved enough beyond stock because of how temperature sensitive the boost algorithm is.

Yea its performing fine but as i said... the boosting behaviour just bugs me thats all, i do have a kingston A2000 NVMe (250GB) Boot drive .... check the link in the original post for all componenets

Wasn't calling you dumb or anything. Some users have no idea that boost scales with active cores.
We have no idea what all you know. We are not there with you - we have to look at the situation through a screen.

By the way, even if you only do the single core Cinebench run, other apps and services can still run, waking up sleeping cores. You can't kill the OS.
Try disabling 5 of the 6 cores instead.

My mobo only allows to disable 4 cores max so i can try that...

In HW info increase the poling rate to 100 ms. Monitor the CPU multipliers for cores 0 or 1. The 3000 series CPUs only hit their max boost is very lightly threaded tasks and extremely briefly. You need a faster polling rate to pick up on the small amount of time these CPUs actually hit these boost clocks. I had a 3900x that only ever hit these clocks max boost clocks on 2 cores with a 360mm AIO in light tasks when I had the polling rate in HW info set to 100ms.

i hit 4025 now after undervolting... in HWinfo

Now that you have updated the bios and chipset driver.

Reboot.
Wait a few mins.
Run ubm with the browser closed.
Post a link to the results page.

that 5 minutes was a hyper bole... i did that update hours ago from the comment

The fastest core is almost always core 0 or 1 from CCD 1. It was the same on my 3900x and my 5800X3D. From anandtech;
