CPU- r5 5500
Mobo - MSI B550 Pro VDH Wifi
Since I built my PC about 6 Months ago it has been exhibiting strange behavior where it refuses to naturally boost and instead stays at 3.6 ghz constantly
The only way I have figured out how to make it boost is with ryzen master "game mode." This is an unideal solution as it needs to be opened up after boot and there is no way to undervolt or overclock with it.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be very helpful.

how do you mean it refuses to boost? what is it showing when you look? and you also cannot expect it to be the advertised max boost on all cores unless you have good cooling and set some light "automatic" overclocking options

Just under any workload, it always holds exactly the base clock. However when the game mode is activated in Ryzen master, it boosts up properly. I was wondering whether or not this is normal (I don't think so) and how I can at the very least make the Ryzen master profile automatic

I just mean any program, game, benchmark, etc

did you change anything in the bios?
honest dirge
No, other than updating to support my cpu, it was like this out of the box
Should I try clearing the cmos and reflashing?

are you using the stock cpu cooler?
honest dirge
Yes
white snow
that might explain it, especially if your room is relatively warm
white snow
you probably need to make a new power plan
honest dirge
Define power plan
white snow
if you open the windows power options you can find the "power plans" which tell windows how to run or act if you have it set to use lower power or higher performance
honest dirge
I have it set to high performance
white snow
normally it would be on balanced
honest dirge
I know
white snow
did you change it when the issue started?
did you make a custom power plan?
there are settings that might be set incorrectly if you were changing anything
honest dirge
I set it to high performance when I got it, I only realized there was an issue about a month in
I think I will just try to clear the cmos and reflash, maybe that will fix it?
white snow
set it back to balanced and see what happens
honest dirge
core maxes out at 3600 mhz

you could try resetting bios
if you didnt do that after instALLING THE 5500 IT COULD BE THE ISSUE
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS RESET BIOS WHEN INSTALLING A CPU UPGRADE
whoops
white snow
didnt mean to all cap that i bumped it when typing
try resetting it again but also first uninstall ryzen master
honest dirge
got it
white snow
make sure you reset ryzen master tyo defaults first
white snow
you can also get it to boost to max on all cores using pbo2 and a negative voltage curve, but you will want a better cpu cooler for that
