Question My AMD Ryzen 5 5600x works at 4.2

[javadgorgani]

Hi my friends. Sorry, I'm a noob at computers stuff. I bought an AMD Ryzen 5 5600x, my MB is Asus B450M-A, I have an air cooler Deepcool AK400. The problem is my CPU core ratio is on 4.2 and works fine, but I want to use my CPU at its maximum capability which is 4.6, I know that it's for single core, but my CPU never goes beyond 4.2! How should I set my Bios to make my CPU boost to 4.6 whenever it's needed?
Thanks.

I can set it to 4.6 manually, but gets very hot and works just on 4.6! I want it to work normally, but whenever it was needed, under heavy load work at its maximum clock

Leave it on auto. The CPU will boost to 4.6 when it's needed.

Thanks for reply. Where should I set it on Auto?! In that box in front of "CPU core ratio" You can just type the value, there is no Auto or something else...

I just realized that I can type "Auto" and restart, but under 100% load in Cinebench test, works maximum at 4 GHz :

Run CB r23 single core mode. to see what real boost maximum is.

If your cooling is better than stock, enable PBO.

I did it, in single core mode works at maximum 4.18

I have an Air cooler Deepcool AK400, better that stock wraith AMD cooler, but it's not a water cooler. I'll try PBO again to see what happens...

Check in BIOS if boost is enabled.

Check in BIOS if boost is enabled.

I just checked the Bios and PBO was enabled ( I enabled it 1 month ago) !

This is the situation:

I watched the temperature and clock during CB test in Ryzen Master and it's like this:

Is it because of my cooling?
If I change it to a liquid cooler, would it reach to 4.6?

Not hot enough to cause it.

Might need a second opinion, as this is what my 5600X is doing during a single threaded run:

I also run with an air cooler.

Thank you guys for your help, I just realized that if I reset to default the Bios settings, the processor would work at its maximum clock at least in single core mode! .. and Temperature is much more better now, it's not that hot anymore...
