I am very new to this and decided to try and build myself a new computer. I went with the Ryzen 7 1700 and am having alot of trouble with its speed. It says its only running at 1597.24mhz at .709 volts according to cpuz. It also seems that my memory is running at half speed also. My computer specs are,

Crosshair 6 hero,
Ryzen 7 1700,
Corsair H110i hydro cooler,
Vengeance LPX ddr4 3200,
1080 TI

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you. I was hoping to be able to get it to overclock closer to the 1800x speed but its currently stuck at half its stock speed. Thanks again.
 
Solution
It's probably just powering down for desktop use. See what it does when you run a program or play a game.

It's sounds like normal power saving feature when you are not doing anything CPU intensive.

I installed the newest drivers. And at first it looked like it was reading correctly. But now it says the mhz is jumping from 1450 to 3750. And the voltage is jumping around also. But in the bios it says everything is auto ,set to optimal defaults. Each core is just jumping aroudn doing its own thing. I dont understand.
