People here want to say I'm an Intel shill, because I provided facts and evidence. Everyone ignoring said facts and evidence and insisting I'm wrong without providing any facts or evidence of their own. Show me an X470 Taichi with a 2700 that has XFR/PBO in the BIOS. Show me a 2700 maintaining proper boost at various core loads etc.
Ok, you want "facts and evidence"? I've got an ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F Gaming ATX mobo, with an Ryzen R7 2700 under 240mm AIO WC.
I had it previously at 4.0Ghz @ 1.325V, 74C max.
I went into BIOS, and reset all of the "DOCP" stuff, RAM clocks, everything back to "Auto", EXCEPT, I set "Core Performance Boost" to "Enabled" rather than "Auto".
Upon booting Win10, some of my cores were boosting to 4092Mhz, and with BOINC running 15 threads of WCG, my Core#0-#7 Current Clocks, are around 3440Mhz.
So, on a mobo with working boost, and a working TDP limit (I assume, since when I manually OCed, it was showing Package Power of 134W, now it's showing 68W), I get 3.45Ghz. Not a lot of boost room within the 65W margin, but it IS boosting. (That's pretty close, really, to what I got with my Ryzen R5 1600 CPU, non-overclocked, with Turbo ON. I would get an all-core turbo of 3.4Ghz, stock, on a stock heatsink, under full load.)
Right now, Package Temps are 49C max. So it appears that the limit is power (W), not temps.
Does anyone have any idea where to set the power limit up to 95W, and see how it boosts then?
Edit: I tried "Performance Enhance" or something, just under the "DOCP" settings. There's "Auto", "Normal", "Level1", "Level 2", "Level 3 (OC)", and "Level 4 (OC)".
When I tried Level 4 (OC), I couldn't see the Power section in HWMonitor. I even tried closing CPU-Z and HWMonitor and opening them again.
I then tried "Level 2", but that didn't seem to do much, still boosting all-core to 3440Mhz, Package Power @ 68W.
