Hi, Great application but I am having an issue with the Power Tool Configuration. I can select the various speeds available (3700 2880 2200) but it makes no difference to the graph or frequency of processor. It could be my system (Ryzen 3900 (non x version) + MSI b450itx Motherboard but would love to get this working. Screenshot 2020-06-09 at 13 58 59 Screenshot 2020-06-09 at 13 59 35 Thanks again.

Maybe check the BIOS settings regarding the CPU. I had similar weird behavior when a fixed voltage was set.

Thanks aluveitie, I have had a nosey around the bios and changed various voltage settings but with no luck, any idea what I am looking for? Apologies if i am missing something very simple.

In my case I've undervolted my CPU to keep temps in check until I found this tool to monitor the CPU. That should be pretty easy to spot I guess.

Perfect, was a lot simpler than I expected, a setting called Games Boost was enabled. Thanks again and I hope this helps someone else in future.
