Ryzen 3 1200 problem

[onii_chan]

As i ran a prime95 stress test, my ryzen 3 1200 only maxed out to 3.07 ghz, eventhough it has a boost clock of 3.4. My temps stayed during the stress test under 53C. Is my motherboard the issue?

Motherboard: AsRock A320M-DGS
CPU: ryzen 3 1200 @stock
RAM: 8GB ddr4-2133 Single stick
