Hi everyone. I'm having an issue with my new Ryzen 5 1600 and GTX 1060 build underperforming. My Firestrike score wasjust 7628, and compared to this score: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/12951407
it's obvious there's some kind of issue. I'll list every kind of troubleshooting thing I did here:
- I went into the power management settings in Windows 10 and set the power plan to "Performance".
- I went into the nvidia control panel and changed the power plan to "Performance optimized".
- I went into the nvidia control panel and turned off vertical sync or gsync.
- I installed the latest BIOS update for my MSI B350M PRO-VDH
- I updated the latest driver for the GTX 1060
- I attempted to overclock the CPU manually to 3.6 ghz and while there was a performance increase with the firestrike score, it was still significantly lower than it should be.
Another issue i'm having is that the CPU and RAM are not willing to run at their proper speeds. This will be kind of hard to explain, but i'll try to do my best. When I first turned on my computer and installed windows, my RAM defaulted to 2133 MHz. I have a 2666 rated kit, so I knew something was up. I then went into the bios, and changed the RAM frequency to 2667 MHz. I then restarted, and my RAM was running at the correct speed. I then went into Ryzen Master, and was going to try to overclock my CPU, but then I saw something even more strange. My CPU was running at 1.34 GHz, and the sliders to adjust the core frequency were locked. I went and made another overclocking profile, and it then allowed me to set the core speed to 3.6 GHz. However, the RAM frequency was automatically at 1067 MHz, and the max it could go was 1600 MHz. I ignored this and set the RAM frequency to 1067, applied the settings, and restated my computer. Now, windows is saying that my CPU is at 3.6 GHz, but my RAM is at 2133 MHz again? I did get both running at one point, and that was also when I did the Firestrike score. However, it was still underperforming, so I went and updated the BIOS to the latest version. Now, I can't get the RAM and CPU to run at the correct speed at the same time. Does anyone know what I could do about this?
