Question if i set cpu frequency on rog strix bios does it also lock boost clock?

[johnnytheguy]

its just a simple and quick question. if i set cpu frequency on rog strix bios does it also lock boost clock?

It depends on the platform. On AMD platforms it will lock the CPU to that frequency. I believe on Intel platforms it sets the maximum frequency. However the last Intel system I used was back in 2018 or so, so I don't know how true this still is

in case of amd is it possible to unlock the boost clock? or atleast change max boost clock?

To what purpose ?
Yes, you can do that. To limit or disable boost in windows you can just adjust Maximum CPU Power limit to 99%. and it will not go past CPU's standard frequency.

Through PBO possibly, but not through the regular settings.

Setting maximum CPU to 99% does weird things on AMD systems. You have to mess with the Processor Performance Boost behavior (See: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/something-to-consider-for-laptops.3737865/)

Not if all is set to auto defaults in BIOS
