rusTORK Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Hello! I founded strange behaviour in AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark. L3 cache bandwidth on processor look lower then it's actually is. It's don't matter which settings i use in BIOS (even optimized default). Here is details: System spec: Hardware: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (2049SUS); Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC14PE; Tim: IC Graphite Thermal Pad; MB: GIGABYTE B450M DS3H v2 Rev. 1.0 (BIOS: F60h, AGESA Combo V2 1.2.0.0, SMU 56.45.00); RAM: 2x 8GB Team Group Dark Pro DDR4-3600 (16-16-16-16-36-1T, FCLK=1800MHz); Software: AIDA64 v6.32.5600 AMD Chipset Driver v2.13.27.501 So, here is two tests (low L3 cache bandwidth and normal): LOW I may click on each L3 box (Read\Write\Copy), but it never go above ~350 GB\s. At this stage problem was PBO setting in AMD CBS (in BIOS). After i disable PBO in AMD CBS and set it on Auto in AMD Overclocking (in BIOS) - i got ~400 GB\s. At this point CPU got correct all it's limits (PPT\TDC\EDC). Normal Now i got this. How? As you may guess - i set fixed frequency on all cores - 4425 MHz. It's only one setting from BIOS (well... actually voltage too, but anyway). Question: Why AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark can't meassure normal bandwidth with auto setting on cores frequency? My guess is next: Cores are in "sleep" (i know it for sure, since i run AIDA64 with opened Ryzen Master window) and benchmark end faster then cores wake up. When used fixed cores frequency - benchmark sent data on "ready" core and data more correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Cathode1Anode Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Same here, motherboard is AsRock B450m Pro4. My Cinebench R23 scores don't seem to be out the ordinary though so it's probably an issue with AIDA64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
