I've finally upgraded my i7 920 to Ryzen 3600.

Absolutely happy with it.

Anyway. I've enabled Game boost with my MSI Tomahawk B450 and now have an all core 4.2gz running at 71 degrees c max during Cinebench R20. Score 3652. Ive reused my Hyper 212.

Yet I see everyone saying I shouldnt use game boost. Any reason why?

I get a lower score without it on.

Hi, I have enabled MSI Gaming Boost on my motherboard (MSI X470 Gaming Pro MAX) with a Ryzen 5 3600 (and a Deepcool Gammaxx GTE v2 cooler) at first I noticed in task manager 4.2Ghz and in COD: Warzone I saw high temperatures (peaks at 80°C. Because of the high temperatures I wanted to disable game boost to try overclocking to 4.2Ghz manually. First question is: in the CPU ratio i should write 42 or 4200? And what about the voltages? Second question is: I enabled again game boost waiting for some answers in this thread and restarted my computer with a result of 4.07Ghz and different voltages. Why isn't the voltages and clock the same? And how can I put the CPU at 4.2Ghz without staying at 80°C (at the "new" game boost clock it stays at 79°C in Cinebench R20)?

Hey folks,

As per the the title, my setup is crashing cinebench 20 with the game boost on. On default settings the cinebench 20 it's running well. It could be a bios issue (MSI...) or different settings tweaks? I didn't change any of the voltages just enabled the game boost within bios.

Thanks in advance! Cheerio!

I have a 3600 with b450 tomahawk (bios 1A) and Ryzen master with pbo and auto overclock gives me 4125 max single core and 4000 max multi on boost which seems pretty bad.

I removed Ryzen master and enabled game boost in bios together with pbo with all voltages on auto, it boots with 4200 clocks but crashes immediately when benching. From game boost description I understand it's basically an auto overclock from bios. Anyone using game boost successfully? Thanks.

Edit: also noticed enabling or disabling pbo in bios does nothing to clocks...is it broken?

I always see on threads that msi game boost makes your cpu draw power higher than safe voltage (1.4) but when I turning it on, ryzen master only reads 1.1 cpu core voltage and also because of game boost I can reach 4.2ghz. But when I tried to stress test using prime95 my system restarts after a minute, last temp before restarting was 75 celcius.

What do you think cause of system restart? And if my core voltage at gameboost is 1.1, do you guys think it is safe to use it?

Note: system doesn't restart when playing games.

Specs:

• B450m mortar non-max

• Ryzen 5 3600 16gb 3000mhz

• 1060 6gb zotac amp!

• 650 bronze seasonic modular

• Gammaxx gt rgb

• 960 evo m.2 nvme

Edit: HWinfo64 SVI2 tfn reads 1.1 to 1.38. both voltage also varies depends on cpu load, sometime it reads .4 if idle.

I have been playing around with the 3600 all day today on my MSI x470 gaming pro carbon and none of the overclock settings were better than stock ( excluding manual OC), most of them performed worst. Then just on a whim I decided to try game boost. I have no idea what it is or what it does. Anyhow the computer cycled on and off a bunch of times and never posted so I did a hard reset. After that got a screen the said "Do not Bios OC with game boost" in yellow letters and the computer posted at 4.2 all core.. couple funny things though HWinfo64 and CPUz are now showing different voltages and they were not before. CPUz says my Vcore is locked at 1.352. HWinfo64 shows Vcore at 1.1 also if im running a single core load core VID is around 1.4 and if im running a multicore load my core VID 1.1. Can someone confirm any of this with MSI game boost...
