CPU refuses to go over 1.37 GHz

[zyoxide]

I'm not quite sure what happened, but one day my computer was running fine. The next day the computer is running like crap and i could barely even run League of legends at higher than 30 fps. I did a lot of different things like upgrade my Power supply, ram and even my GPU with only slightly better performance. So I then eventually realized after many stupid mistakes it was my Processor all along. It wont go over 1.37 GHz. There is no heat throttling, I've made sure to check in HWmonitor and I've even tried to overclock my computer and nothing changed, and I've even upgraded and Processor fan for that. So i need help to fix this cause me and all my friends are out of ideas.

Specs:
AMD fx6300

Nvidia 1050

Corsair 550 watt psu

MSI 970 motherboard

8 gigs ddr3 ram

Try "Load Optimized Defaults" in your BIOS and get back to us with the results.

Now because my cpu went back to 3.50 GHz its just lowered itself from 1.37 to 1.33GHz ive tried loading games and its still the same

Check HWMonitor and see if you have any cores not running. When I had my fx-6300, I noticed Windows would use "average" speed in task manager, even though I'd overclocked it to 4.6.
Also, run it through a stress-test like Prime95 26.6 (superior to later versions). Run Small FFTs, and see if any workers drop out.

Your may have hardware damage on your board. Specifically the motherboard may have a bad VRM thus preventing the CPU from reaching at its maximum clock speed. Also try to reset the CMOS and make sure that the windows power plan is set to high performance.

the cpus are all running and when i go for the stress teset they all go to 100% even though the clock speed is still around 1400MHz which is odd.

when the test is stopped its the same clock speed but with different percentages

Looked up some old threads about this, check your motherboard's switch for Slow Mode.

I reset my CMOS and i made sure that my plan was set to high, still nothing...

Sorry I forgot to mention this but i've already tried my switch in the A, B, and C position and no change

If you don't want to take advantage of the energy saving features of the CPU, they can be disabled in the BIOS.

AMD FX-6300
Low power P states *
#1: 3000 MHz, 1.225V
#2: 2500 MHz, 1.125V
#3: 2000 MHz, 1.025V
#4: 1400 MHz, 0.9V

*These characteristics were measured on a single CPU, and they can vary slightly for other processors with the same model number
