Thermalthrottling? CPU dieing? Or the B550 board issue?? I´m lost!

Hi guys,

I have a 5900X, this CPU is refrigerated by a Corsair H150i PRO XT Water Cooler with Coolermaster Cryofuze thermal paste, on a Asrock B550 Taichi, 2x 16GB 3600MHz CL16 G.Skill TridentZ Neo (32GB RAM), a 2TB NVMe 990PRO Samsung M.2 SSD (pcie4.0@pcie4.0), my graphics card is a MSI GeForce RTX 4090 and my power supply is a Thermaltake Thoughpower GF3 1200W. The SO is Windows 11 Pro totally upgraded on the Windows Update, and running Kaspersky Total Security.

Using HWMonitor, my CPU clocks ever drop to 224MHz (thermalthrottling?), on UEFI BIOS only seted XMP as 1800Mhz (3600MHz), and the rest is stock. Precision Boost Overdrive is disabled. I change the thermal paste 4 times, CM Cryofuze and Gelid, fixed the pump firmly always on socket, I was make all, but no success... anyone have a idea?? I have no idea for what I try to fix this.

A print of my HWMonitor is attached. Thanks.

i don't have that cpu so i don't know what's normal min clocks, but what is your issue? stress test the cpu and you can see if it thermal throttles right there on HWInfo, check clock and temps.
 
Never heard of cores downclocking when there is no load to save power? Stress the chip and give us actual numbers under load.
 
I run for one hour OCCT max torture cpu test and have a spike of 225MHz three times. Temperature don´t pass 82ºC.

I don´t if the cause of problem is the CPU (in warranty) or the motherboard (no warranty more) or the pump of water cooler... I don´t have other parts for test and have a conclusion.
 
Os update borked it. Reinstall W11 and completely disable Windows Updates.

Then install updates this way after vetting each update using askwoody.com

 
I´ve installed W11 from zero and no updates, just drivers, and the same phenomenon... 224MHz drops...

You need to figure out if this a voltage regulator or the mosfet thats over heating on the board. It most likely isn't in contact with a heatsink at all. I recently changed from a msi mpg gaming edge wifi 4o a better board. One of the vr was alwas warmer than the other on mpg. I have since moved to a msi meg ace which stays cooler on the vrm which makes the cpu less prone to throttling now. Throttling on ruzen can happen from hot vr/mosfets not just the cpu.
 
Check with HWInfo instead of HWMonitor. It's more reliable.
You can see a lot of weird readings in that screenshot, CPU Fan 65493 RPM, RAM temp 255.1°C, TMPIN1 127°C

Zen 3 Desktop chips normally do not go below ~2880MHz even with the power saving power plan.

these TMPIN sensors are in basically all cases random numbers from sensors that are either measuring nothing or spit out random numbers.

Seen mine go down to 800mhz on idles. Maybe my plan is different or something.
 
you can try to disable Prochot in Ryzen Master (it's sometimes buggy)

800Mhz is normally a thing with Zen 1 and Zen + (without chipset drivers)
