I have a base run with AGESA 1.0.0.4 on x470 / 3700x

Hot off the flash from MSI for my refurbished x470 Gaming Plus is AGESA 1.0.0.4 bios =
beta https://valid.x86.fr/bench/yup7ru/1

My 3700x is on stock cooler and reset my memory after reboot

I put the memory back in XMP 3200Mhz profile and X Boost set to office https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/40789003?

Fire Strike says it boosted to 4.4Ghz on air
After examining Zen2 architecture and getting a lesson on CCXs and how they work,, I decided to do some additional testing.
During the R20 single core test with core boosting done per CCX basis...(as opposed to all clocks), I found that max scores were higher.
My 3600X reported a score of 505 single core and 3692 in multi core test.
This number was consistent over multiple test...(three single core and three multi core test).
The max core clock was (in order of cores) 0=4375, 1=4350, 2=4350, 3=4400, 4=4400, 5=4400.
Logic suggest that if the cores on the two CCX units are in numerical order, then three cores on a single CCX (in my case) are faster than the other.
With the way that the latest version of Windows 10 does pinning to the fastest cores, then single core applications may be able to take advantage of this configuration.
The OS calling on the cores capable of the highest clocks.
With 1.0.0.4 there is a setting in the BIOS to boost on an ALL core or a CCX basis.
Can somebody else verify this and post findings?
 
I had the AGESA 1004 bios but forgot chipset drivers to pair (only AMD site) with it and so the above score was without them , it hit 4.4Ghz on the stock cooler but now with chipset drivers is the middle score of the 3 test

I will look as my board has a deep black overclocking program in bios .

Edit , your answer is yes as to boost all cores or per CCX .. I just changed it to boost pre CCX and will rerun without Ryzen Master retune /

Got the same MSI X470 Gaming Plus ,I switched my 3600X boost gaming up to 4525 Mhz to 3800X boost gaming up to 4650Mhz.

Highest clocking BIOS is still the Beta BIOS
7B79vAA AMD ComboPI1.0.0.3

Best overall BIOS with the most features that actually work
7B79vAG2(Beta version) ComboPI1.0.0.4 Patch B (SMU v46.54)

AMD 3800X Boost up to 4650Mhz Alien Isolation a couple hours stream
 
Something about ReLive and when it records it locks the clocks to 4225Mhz in GTA V .. If I turn it off then it boost to 4.3 and 4.4 in game .
 
I have it set to pre CCX in bios and in Ryzen Master in Auto Over Clocking it is set to 4550 with Ryzen HP Power Plan .. and now I see the 4.3 and 4.4 boost on that stock cooler ..

In video it was at 4325Mhz just as Relive pull it down .. but without it running I stays at 4.3 or above .

 
Here we go .. my phone without Relive running and it hit 4.4Ghz @ 1:07 mark and it's blasting that RX 570 in 1080p Ultra = Devil May Cry 5

 
Nice video's,great clocks on the stock cooler.I do like this cheap Motherboard.Does it have all the bells and whistles no,that is OK though.

AMD 3800X All Core Overclock 4625Mhz PC Gaming just for some fun.
Games 4K Ultra Settings

Alien Isolation
Rage 2 35:21
Call of Juarez Gunslinger 41:51
26:30 Turned on Ryzen Master IF you want to see settings
31:35 HWinfo64 Turned on IF you want to see settings with voltage and temperatures


And for the people that will ask for BattleField 5 I did 2 videos at 4600Mhz with RTX On/Off ,had to use a little more CPU voltage for BF5 to be stable
 
Two installation laps with Assetto Corsa to show relative performance with CCX split on my R5-3600x

 
Sorry for lack of posts .. Ok so X Boost needs to be off and it clocks higher in game which as you can see it has no issue going above 4.3Ghz when it want to and that it is the stock cooler .
