Core Utilization While playing a game

[Zytraxion]

Good Evening!

As my first post I hope that I'd make it an interesting question!'

I have a 3.2 (3.8 ghz turbo) i7 3930k

I was wondering how to track core utilization while playing a game (in particular Fallout 4). From the looks of this one program, when I played for about 5 minutes the results seem to show each core running around the same speed ~3.6 ghz. That's all six cores. I'm also aware the game does run on threads but it still confuses me.

On a side note, I thought the turbo mode would boost a single core to 3.8ghz. I know it's based on temperature but the highest temperature I had was on one core at 40 degrees while playing on max settings (Corsair H100i). So that also confuses me.

If any CPU affectionados know the answer, I'd be greatly appreciated.

You can see the clock speed at any time with a simple program like CPUZ. It shows the stock speed for all cores, and the current frecuency. To see all cores you just right click on it and it will show the clocks.

I thank you for the help but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for because I'd have to tab out of my game to see that no?

If your game is borderless windowed, you can quickly alt/tab to see the readings, and they will not change because the game will not standby. Even most of the fullscreen games do not standby (idle cpu) while alt/tabbed. I remember Rivatuner could show readings in game? Maybe someone here can point a program to you.
