Hi everybody,
I'm having an issue where my i7-7800x will not go past 1.2Ghz clock speed. I've been using CAM to monitor my system to confirm this and the fact that the CPU is also not being thermal throttled because it typically doesn't get hotter than 27 Celsius. I've also tried changing my Power Options on Windows to High Performance mode trying to see if that might have been an issue. My belief is that my GPU which is an Gigabyte Radeon RX 560 is bottlenecking my CPU but it does strike me as strange that the CPU at no point exceeds 1.2Ghz even if it is a GPU bottleneck. In all I'm hoping someone with a little more experience can either confirm that it most likely is the GPU just bottlenecking my CPU or if there could be an issue with the CPU itself.
