[SOLVED] CPU clock speed difference bios and windows 10

[Klacksen]

Hi,

I have just bought a new processor AMD 3600x and I am wondering why windows 10 system information and my UEFI (x570) show different CPU clock speed.

Can anyone explain it?

Windows 10: 3793 MHz
UEFI: 3809 MHz

Is not much that much but why it is not the same clock speed?

Thanks for you help!

I don't know, windows is weird is my best non answer. I would consider either to be 3.8ghz the correct base clock speed for a 3600x. Certainly not something I would be worrying about. On my PC system information just says the base clock speed of my 7700k which is 4200mhz even though I have it overclocked to 5ghz and at idle it is currently running at 800mhz but sys info still says 4200mhz , its just reading the base clock speed the CPU shipped at not the speed it is actually running at currently.

Windows can mess around with the performance so while it's not much, I would use something like cpu z or hwinfo to make sure it matches your uefi.
