Things to note:
This pertains to AM4 motherboards only.
The metric is only useful under a full consistent load. Use Cinebench R20 MT to test or other MT benchmarks that incur a consistent full load.
The metric is currently inaccurate for Ryzen 1000/2000 (Zen/Zen+), only use it if you have a 3000 CPU (Zen2).
Ensure that you set HWInfo polling time to 1000ms instead of the default 2000ms.
Please read these first before asking question.
