Ryzen 1800X Not Boosting

 What program are you using to monitor the CPU core speeds?

You said the CPU is "... pretty much stuck at 3.6GHz". Does that mean you see at least one core above 3.6GHz?

Ryzen does not Turbo all the cores up to the maximum Turbo speed. I believe it is only one core that will boost to 4.0GHz, at stock CPU BIOS settings. Intel processors work the same way, not all cores will Turbo boost up to the maximum speed with stock CPU settings.

Edited:  I found the CPU-Z HWMonitor as it shows individual core speeds.  The cores are boosting to 4GHz for brief moments.  Certainly not keeping their speed there during benchmarking.

On another note: I've noticed that the single thread Cinebench benchmark jumps over all 8 cores.  It doesn't stick with a single core.  1. Is it supposed to do that?  2. Wouldn't that be contributing to lower scores?
