Hello, I have a I5 7400 that should run at 3.0GHz base but instead runs at 2.2Ghz max even while playing warzone.
I tried using the max perfomance power plan and checked everything cpu related was at 100%, I also changed the core voltage from 0.804V as shown in the pic (was set to auto in the motherboard) to 1.2v and got no extra perfomance
CPU is running at 50º while gaming
Specs:
CPU: I5 7400
Motherboard: gigabyte b250m gaming 5
GPU: GTX 1060 3GB
RAM: 1x16gb 3200mhz(XMP)
PSU: 430w 80 plus bronze

BIOS update just did reset on BIOS settings.
CPU multiplier was limited to 22 before the update.

You could have done reset of BIOS settings manually too (without performing BIOS update).
