Fx-8320 stuck at 1.4GHz

[koolkidsklub147]

First time posting but im at the end of my rope. My 8320 is stuck at 1.4GHz with a multiplier of 7x. Task manager, Cpu-Z, and hw monitor have all confirmed it. I have the asus m5a99x evo r2.0, All the power saving options are disabled, temps are fine, I flashed the latest bios, and I even set all the voltages and multiplier manually to stock yet still nothing has helped. In windows my cpu power is set at 100% as well so it isnt that. I tried oc software like amd overdrive but even moving the multiplier on that does nothing. I really could use some help on here guys so any input at all would be appreciated.

Hey
So, in the bios your multiplier is set to 7x and you´re unable to change it?
Maybe you just meant that the cpu works with 1.4GHz at idle.
That´s normal it should only clock higher under load. (->Temp and Power)

Otherwise I assume there is something wrong with your Bios settings,
or that your temps are not fine.
Your mobo should not be a problem.

But i need more information, maybe a bios-screenshot/photo?
Are you really sure the temps are fine? What temps do you have?

If so, excuse me for my question

Good luck! 😉

Thanks for the reply! No in the BIOS the multiplier is set to 18x and the target speed is 3.5GHz. Even under 100% load it won't go up at all. If I change the bus speed however the clock will rise. I got it to 2.4GHz.
