AMD 5950x Terrible performace

So I am getting pretty bad performance out of my 16 core ryzen, what seems to be happening is its throttling way down during tests from 4+ghz to 1ghz.

I tried reapplying thermal paste and changing the power supply(thought maybe it wasnt getting enough power).

From what the sensors are telling me its not getting too hot so Im not were why such bad performance.

Did you check if the mobo has the latest firmware/bios installed ?

If not try flashing it and test again.

I’m using a Gigabyte X570 Master + 5800x CPU and it is working just fine for me.

Same thing with new bios, I have a 5800 in my gaming PC at home. It’s running about 12% faster then the 5950x

That is odd, but here is something to try out then, does your home mobo support the 5950x ?

Pretty sure it does as you are running the 5800x on it.

Maybe try out the 5950x on your home mobo and test, does it behave the same way ?

This would at least help narrow things down, maybe something with the CPU if it behaves in a similar manner.

Also to confirm the second mobo, try your home 5800x CPU and see if it behaves this way.

Perhaps a mobo issue if any CPU doesn’t perform properly.

Well it would be very usefull if you could give more system spec details.
Like which exact mobo you are using etc.

@LumpyPotato I would like to help you, so I have inserted my results from Geekbench 5. I would suggest that since there is a Windows version of Geekbench 5, you download it, install, run it, and post your results here to compare each other’s results. I have posted the link to download Geekbench 5.

Well, I get a lower score. Everything is set to default in the BIOS.
