Question CPU usage not above 84% ?

[ItsOnnan]

hi

i am having problems with my cpu. my cpu doesn't seem to go above 3.4 GHZ (84%) when running Cinebench multi core even though the base speed is set to 4 GHZ (the maximum recommended). I've checked the power plan in windows and that is set to 100%. I've also checked the maximum cpu usage in the resource monitor (task manager > performance tab > open resource monitor) and that is also set to 100%. I've also checked the cpu temperatures and they don't go above 72 C.
I am using a Amd Ryzen 5 1600 cpu.

Thanks for your time!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Just an FYI, the base clock for your current processor is 3.2GHz, while a boost clock will get it to 3.6GHz.

Can you please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

include the BIOS version for your motherboard and the cooler used on your CPU.
