    Question Why is my CPU always below base clock?

    So I just recently upgraded my PC, I installed a 4060 and a Ryzen 7 5700X into a new case with a new power supply. Everything was good, PC boots and runs as expected. I decided to run a userbenchmark as I had been doing so before I had upgraded my PC so that I would be able to see the difference...

    Question Is these stats/reportings for the CPU normal?

    I was checking my cpu temperatures by using HWiNFO and checking if everything is normal. But i came to notice that the minimum of the Core Clock Speed are "798-797.7 mhz or 0.78-0.79 ghz" but the average is 4.5 ghz and when doing graphs and doing tasks like opening google chrome, and gaming i...

    [SOLVED] CPU stuck at base clock speeds when playing only

    I have Lenovo IdeaPad l340 gaming for 3 years now, and it was perfectly working, but recently the CPU stuck at the base speed which is 2.6 GHz this only happens when playing a game, and the weird for me that when pressing alt+tab the speed goes up to 4 GHz when back to the game become 2.6 again...

    Question Ryzen 7 5800H - CPU clock speed spikes/fluctuations when idle

    Hi, My brand new Legion 7's Ryzen 7 5800H CPU clock speed is constantly going up and down when idle, as can be seen in the MSI afterburner hardware monitor below. The values are somewhat consistent, at 2525 and 3675 MHz, so the graph almost looks like a thick line. I do not have iCue...

    [SOLVED] Ryzen 7 5800X not going to boost clock, nor lowering clocks with zero load

    Hi, sorry if I ask any stupid questions, its my first proper build but not too experienced. I've looked for a lot of solutions but couldn't find any that worked so I thought I'd ask. I have a Ryzen 7 5800X cpu, advertised at 3.6GHz base and up to 4.8GHz boost clocks. Out of the box, it was...

    [SOLVED] RX 5700 lower clock speed than should be

    I set my rx 5700's clock speed to 1700 mhz, but at stress tests clock speed is getting stuck at 1660 mhz. I tried setting clock speed at 1750 mhz and stress tests clock speed getting stuck at 1710 mhz. I reinstalled drivers after uninstalling the old one with DDU but nothing changed.

    [SOLVED] Are the Number of Cores/Threads and Core Clock the two only things that matter when talking about CPU?

    Are the Number of Cores/Threads and Core Clock the two only things that matter when talking about how strong a CPU? If so, does it mean that i5 10400f is faster than i5 11400f? They have the same number of cores/threads but 10400f's clock speed is faster. That's impossible!

    [SOLVED] My CPU is at max clock speed when idle, but goes below base clock speed when under a heavy load.

    My issue is that when my PC is under a heavy load, the clock speeds actually go below my base clock speed, and when I'm at idle it stays around it's maximum but fluctuates quite a bit. My initial thoughts are that this is because of thermal throttling, but my temperatures are the same as they...

    [SOLVED] Ryzen 5 3600 low clock speed?

    Hi everyone. My ryzen 5 3600 has a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz. Checking from windows activity monitor I noted that - on idle - the speed is lower: it oscillates from 2.4 to 3.4. The speed reach (and pass) 3,6 only if it is on stress. Is that normal? Shouldn't 3.6 always be the lowest bound...
