i7 6700 stuck at 800MHZ

[dunsparth]

I just built a new PC i have the i7 6700 not the 6700K
and an asus z170 pro gaming motherboard.

i was getting horrible FPS in games like CSGO and Arma 3.
So i know there is a problem.
Im currently running a stress test on the CPU and its at 100% and the core speed is at 803.51 MHZ

ive tried everything i can think of.
Ive reseated everything
updated bios and chipset.
unplugged gfx card and tried onboard video.
i just dont know what to do anymore.

Please help ive done lots of googling and everything is for the 6700k

Ok, I had a similar prob, go to bios, to cpu, maybe OC genie. The. Send a pic. If you can't send a pic, tell me what the ring ratio is. ( *32* x 100mhz, what is the 32, or 8 or what?)

Thanks for the quick response, here is a few pictures of inside the bios

Ok, try to change the "max cpu speed" to 3.4ghz, maybe 34 maybe 3.4. To change it will prob let you type in a number or let you adjust using + and -

i'm not seeing that setting anywhere, and i dont think it will let me adjust since my CPU is not unlocked right?

 

[AUnlikelyPotatoe]

It should let you adjust it up to its max, 3.4ghz

 

[AUnlikelyPotatoe]

Try double clicking max cpu speed, see if it gives you options or highlights

i cant even find an option to change the freq inside of my bios.

 

[AUnlikelyPotatoe]

Hmmm, there should be some way to, maybe clicking then using + or typing, or double clicking... Ima go look up some stuff about your mobo.

Okay ill try all that im trying to install AI suite 3

Here you go sorry that took me so long.
i got it set to 34 but its still only at 800MHZ

Hmm, have you booted after that? It may only take place after you save and exit. And make sure the "cpu core ratio" to manual or whatevs, the pic second from the bottom shows it.

 

[dunsparth]

I currently have the cpu core ratio to sync all cores to 34

 

[AUnlikelyPotatoe]

Huh, so exit and save, then go into Windows and okay a game or something then see what cpu-z says.

 

[unreal9400]

Go to BIOS > Load Setup Defaults.
In windows control panel > go to power options > and set to high performance.

My heatsink was too tight... i feel stupid.

OMG.
Glad that you found the problem.

 

[AUnlikelyPotatoe]

Glad we could help, I guess XD

I had same problem with cpu stuck at 800Ghz. Solved by watching one video.
Actually i downloaded "ThrottleStop" and just take of mark from "BD PROCHOT" and save it.
Hope it will help to someone

This is apparently an issue with the Z170s. The "Intel Adaptive Thermal Monitor" is getting tripped erroneously and it's throttling the CPU down to 800mhz. Your CMOS should have a setting to disable the Intel Adaptive Thermal Monitor under the CPU Features in Overclocking.

I had to register for helpful hint, it was it. Thank you, regard
