Does it go to 3.6 when using your bench, or is it stuck at 1.5?
Turn off xmp is my suggestion. If you want to overclock your ram do so manually with your timings. RAM is not something you want to just "auto" overclock. There is no hot key or quick way to overclock ram and be stable.
Ryzen 5 2600x is excellent at boosting. Mine does that too. Completely normal. Be happy you got a nice chip
im only getting around 1211 at 4ghz. and 1024 at stock speeds. what am I doing wrong ?I average out at about 1440 for Cinebench R15. That's with a Ryzen 5 2600 @4.2GHz. That runs a bit hot, but it's stable. So I think you shouldn't have any problems matching that with some tuning. Once again, Cinebench is a very subjective synthetic benchmark. It gives a reference, but it's not set in stone.

Did you turn off all background applications before running cinebench? Are your RAM speeds actually what they're supposed to be?
it says 1600x2 = 3200mhz so yes and no haven't turned off background apps but I should be getting a better score l.
I can verify what Finstar is saying. If you have anything running such as a web browser, or Steam, or your Logitech mouse software, etc, that can take small bites out of your score. I would shut down any unnecessary programs and run it a couple more times. You could have a RAM issue, but it would be best to check with this simple solution first. If you want to check your RAM, you can use MemTest86. Link below:

MemTest86 is the original self booting memory testing software for x86 and ARM computers. Supporting both BIOS and UEFI, with options to boot from USB.www.memtest86.com
You might want to check your clock speeds on individual cores as well (Ryzen master actually has a pretty simple GUI for this). Most CPU's set to stock will only boost on a couple of cores to save on thermals, where as manually overclocked processors will keep that speed on all cores all the timeso after a fresh install of Windows. I got 1340 which is extreamly better and more appropriate.
