Question My ryzen 5 2600 not performing as it should...

[Jip Emmerich]

Hello,
My ryzen 5 2600 is not performing as it should. (i think it is my Motherboard).
I was running a cinebench test and the score was only 1088? (Cinebench R15)
I don't think that this is normal. I see on the internet other people getting scores like 1270 ect.
My core clocks are staying at 3,4 in the meanwhile the people on the internet get clocks like 3.7
If i try to overclock i must put the voltage to 1,4V to get a stable 4.0Ghz overclock and then i get a score of 1280 in cinebench.

My specs are:
Mobo- Gigabyte B450m gaming
CPU-Ryzen 5 2600 ---- Cooler: Corsair Hi 60 aio.
GPU-Rtx 2060 msi ventus
Ram-16GB 2666mhz

CB R15 1280 Multi thread score is about what you should expect from a stock setup:

I had my 2600 OD'd to 4 GHz (on an Asus ROG Strix B450-F) with 3200 G.Skill TridentZ RGB and I got around 1360- to 1380 multi thread.

I just ran CB R15 on my 2600 at stock settings and it scored a 1260 Multi.

What Power Plan are you using ?
And did you update to the latest AMD B450 chipset drivers ?
You should be using the AMD Ryzen Balanced Power Plan which gets installed with the AMD chipset drivers.
And it should be set like this:

Yes, i did install the latest amd chipset driver and have set the power plan to AMD RYZEN.
I still get at stock a score of 1088.

Do i have to toggle off/on a function in the bios? or do i have a bad chip?

Your 2666mhz memory speed is holding your scores back 10-12 percent in benchmarks compared to 3200mhz memory.

I would definitely research the options available in Your exact motherboards BIOS and see what settings are available to increase the performance.

nice article on Ryzen memory performance scaling.
this is the middle of the article, which is a good read.
