Slow renders/exports. Premiere not using all of cpu, why?

So I got a ryzen 1700 and it has increased overall editing performance of my rig however I noticed exports were still very slow. Turns out my cpu is only being used at about %15 to %20 when exporting and my gpu is being used up to %90. Why? How do I get premiere to use more of my cpu? Wouldnt this result in faster exports? I want premiere to use all 8 cores and 16 threads of this cpu seems ridiculous I got this upgrade for it to only use a small fraction of the cpu. This same problem persists in timeline performance aswell. Any solutions?

Sadly Adobe has not been optimised for Ryzen and tend to run much, much better on Intel...I have found these two areas by goldstone77 that might help, one covering overclocking which should help and the other some detail on why there is an issue:

Your first answer may be solved by watching one of the several YouTube videos on how to overclock Ryzen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZgpHTaQ10k
He is the answer to your 2nd question. Adobe has not done anything to optimize for Ryzen. Here are the performance numbers from one website. https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Premiere-Pro...

You are using hardware acceleration right now toggle the setting in premiere and see what happens,which is faster.
Modern GPUs are way faster then a 1700 at converting to 264 and 265.
Also some codecs can only use so many threads for a given resolution of video so at 1080p you might not get all 16 threads to work for you.
