Watch the, now edited, "colorful" language, please. Thank you.
Hello. I have an i7-9700f @ 3.0 Ghz but it is stuck at 2.79 Ghz. I've checked power plan settings, updated BIOS, reset CMOS, Updated all drivers(several times), everything i can <<Edited by moderator>> think of. Turned intel boost off and back on, changed the power plan of the BIOS itself. Turned XMP on(it was off). This is all new hardware as well. Less than a month old. It works "okay" but for the specs i have it should be performing much better than it is.
Every benchmark, stress test ive run including Cinebench, OCCT, prime95, etc. I'm seeing my cpu sit in the low 40s and ive never seen it about 60. My GPU sits around 50 as well
