Question Cpu at 1.36ghz instead of 4ghz

[nikola_404]

My fx8350 somehow got underclocked when i switched my cpu coolet to cooler master 212 hyper phantom gaming

Idling? Run a CPU stress test and see if it comes up to normal speed.

Nope goes at around 26% max at aida64

Probably my windows thinks i dont have cooler and restricts my cpu usage or i broke the cpu

 

[nikola_404]

temps are normal like every underclocked cpu 20*c on cpu and 30~c motherboard

 

[SkyNetRising]

20C on cpu?
What is your ambient room temperature? 0C ?

 

[nikola_404]

around 20~c

 

[nikola_404]

like i get it its old cpu and i want it to upgrade to ryzen soon but rn i wanna fix it so it works fine so i can sell it

 

[nikola_404]

says in hwmonitor its 10c max .... at cpu stress

 

[SkyNetRising]

Obviously wrong temperature readings.

 

[nikola_404]

Obviously wrong temperature readings.

so what now

 

[SkyNetRising]

Don't use hwmonitor. It obviously gives you wrong temperature readings.

Use appropriate software to monitor cpu temperatures. Check your motherboard support page.
Reinstall your cpu cooler. Probably not installed properly.

You need to be using AMD overdrive and checking the thermal margin, its the only accurate way to measure FX series temps.

What motherboard is it? Some had a ‘slow mode’.

 

[nikola_404]

Msi 970 gaming the switch for slow mode is in middle since i last checked maybe i hit it somehow ill check later
