OP try something like a single HCI memtest instance, that will be single threaded but much less stress than a cinebench run, so will more likely hit the requirements for the 4.4ghz clock.

The zen2 physique is usually about 4.2~4.3. The overclocking potential of this generation of CPU is very low. You can understand that there is almost no motherboard bottleneck. Anti-drop voltage regulation test silicon filter
