CPU speed?

[TangledThornz]

I just installed a 2600X and I'm trying to determine what is the actual speed I'm getting with it. In the below screenshot I have an output from CPU-Z and Gigabyte's hardware monitor. Is the CPU actually at 3.6 or hitting 4.2 GHz? I run the CPU-Z CPU stress test and its hitting at about 3665.

I installed a Cooler Master 240L RGB and I'm afraid I'm not getting the high speed I expected from the 2600X.

So the speeds you are going to see with those programs do not tell the full story. The clocks at stock settings are using Precision Boost 2. We talk about how PB2 works on the 2700X here. Same story with 2600, but different clocks and numbers of cores.

If you go grab HWiNFO64, you can run that and it will show you the clock on each core and what its rate is currently under any particular load. Different loads equal different clocks. It is very dynamic.

Or you can use the AMD Ryzen Master Utility.

Thank you to both!! I'll try them out.

I wonder if there are plans for a linux version. When I checked there was a discussion from last year but nothing recent. Although with that said I purchased my 2700 to be a stable server / pvr device (with ECC) so its not like I plan to push it to far.
