    Question I9-13900k min set frequency

    Hello. Is there anyway to set my cpu to maintain a set frequency when OC? I want it to sit at 5500mhz as a baseline . At the moment it will sit at 5500mhz but every few seconds drop to 4300mhz for a second then go back up and its just a back and forth process of it. ( I have an i9-13900k /...

    Discussion Benefits of 15th Gen Arrow Lake CPUs?

    Keeping in mind the mentions of a lower CPU frequency and the removal of Hyper-Threading Technology, would Arrow Lake be able to pull ahead (in terms of performance) past 14th gen CPUs? Would thermals and TDP be better than 12-14th gen such? Would it be a big thing like Sandy Bridge or Alder...

    Discussion CPU Core Count VS Frequency?

    If you could get a 1.4 GHz CPU with 24 cores, a 2.8 GHz one harboring 12 cores or a 5.6 GHz one with 6 cores which would be your ultimate choice? I personally would go for cores over cycles. The impalpable beauty of more cores resonates thoroughly through lesser heat dissipation and curbed...

    Question i5-9400F refuses to boost to 4.1GHz on a single core.

    As expected, on all 6 cores, the speed never goes above 3.89GHz, which is normal. However, I expected it would reach the advertised 4.1GHz on a single core, but if I run a benchmark of some sort, it will only go to 4.08GHz max, never above that. Is this expected behavior?
