Hello!
My CPU's clock speed isn't running at the maximum speed it should.
It should run at 4.4GHz, but it only runs at 4.17GHz.
I have seen tons of videos, but none of them helped
Here are some specs:
CPU: I5-11400F
Mb: HP 8860

Also, I want my CPU's speed to be at the maximum speed every time

4.4GHz is single core turbo and 4.2 when multiple or all cores are used. What you're seeing is normal and 4.4GHz isn't entirely accurate because single core use is dependant on software and is rarely so. It's a 4.2GHz cpu with a maybe 4.4GHz sometimes.

You can run maximum frequency (4.2GHz) by setting power plan in Windows to maximum.

But I see people with the same CPU having a stable 4.4GHz clock speed.

In power plan, the maximum processor state is set to 100%, but is still not stable

1 more thing I almost forgot.
When I'm playing games or benchmarking the CPU, the CPU's clock speed slowly goes down in speed, till it hits 3.4GHz.
Temps are around 70 Celsius

I have two systems for racing sim, each with 11400f, neither go above 4.2 all core turbo. Those saying 4.4 all core are lying.

Drops in frequency can be result of activity but shouldn't stay there for long unless you do have temp issues but you say do not.

I use Core Temp to monitor temps and frequency.

I see.
Then my problem is that the CPU clock speed goes down to 3.40GHz-3.10GHz while doing a benchmark or even playing a game

Run Userbenchmark website and link results page. We'll see what it does.

Usually, after 2-3 minutes of benchmarking or gaming, it will slowly go down.
And as you can see, the CPU doesn't perform well enough as the other CPUs
The SSD should also go faster, but it only hits 200 Mb/s write speed, which I don't understand. It should have more power in it.

Is there any way to "tell" the CPU to be always at 4.2GHz?
Literally everyone I know has their CPU at maximum and it's stable for them.
I move my mouse, the speed goes down by a lot
