Hey guys,
My CPU is a Core i7 3610QM @2.3 Ghz turbo boost @3.2
For the past couple weeks I've noticed my CPU speed and utilization were extremly low, but I figured it's just cause I'm not doing anything too intense (Never check the speed while playing a game).
But a week ago I tried playing KH2 on PCSX2 and due to some stuttering I checked in Task Manager and it had the CPU at 1.17 and utilization 16%. (PCSX2 is a PS2 emulator and it is an extremely intense CPU program). I let it slide thinking it probably doesn't need anymore power.
Today, after playing Bioshock Infinite and was struck by low FPS when my GPU is more than ok for medium settings (Radeon HD 7670m 2GB) so I decided to check the CPU and it was at 1.17!! I highly doubt a 2013 game that recommends a quad core only needs 1.17Ghz from my CPU to run properly and havving my GPU be the problem here. It used to run as high as 2.7 while just browsing the internet.
I changed BIOS settings, pwoer plan set to high, even tried ThrottleStop and the speed stayed the same. Core temp' are at ~60 each. What's the problem?
