It shows 4ghz yes, I don't know how to tell if all cores are engaged though

Just went and checked it's a 600watt BQ 80plus bronze

It fluctuates, it can be pretty low or spike up to 10%. And it's definitely being displayed correctly, when it is at high usage the computer becomes extremely slow. For instance, Sea of Thieves runs at 8 fps, and I can't even get VR to work because it frame drops so bad, can hardly get around...

I had the cooler mounted on it but with no thermal paste just in case I had to take things apart if it didn't post. I only had it on for maybe 45 sec to a minute. I can't imagine that would've done any damage.

So I've just built a PC. I5 8600k Asus z390e rog Asus 1070ti rog Evga 600w T force Delta 3000 16gb 2x8gb I started it for the first time and everything seemed to work, note I did not plug in an HDMI to see if it was posting. Then after simply putting thermal paste on the water cooler it would...
