Hello guys,

The problem persists since the beta of A7. I was hoping they would have fixed it, but they did not.
Ring clock keeps being on stock values of 3400-3600MHz when E-Cores are enabled, and up to 4700MHz when E-Cores are disabled (my daily ring is 4800MHz).
I'm able to set the ring whatever I want, and it seems the MOBO applies it in BIOS, but Hwinfo displays a different picture.
Please, elucidate this for me. Is it done on purpose or is it a bug?

And here's 5000MHz ring on A60:

I think this is how it works or maybe I'm wrong...

Below is what I found on other forum, it seems that you have to disable E-core or tuning with Intel XTU to let ring frequency run higher then 3600MHz.

The problem is not only disabling E-Cores, but even with disabled E-Cores RING can't go higher 4700MHz (in my case on Unify-X, 12900KS the ring clock should be 5000MHz), this is clearly a bug and devs should fix it asap.
