[SOLVED] My intel i3 9100f won't go any further than 3.6 GHz, is it maxed out at 3.6 although it supports Intel boost technology ?

[zettL]

Had an i3 9100f with Asus Prime H310m-d in my PC. I don't know why it won't go for more than 3.6 GHz under cpu bench test (i'm new to computers), high performance mode already turned on but still not going for more than 3.6 GHz.

Temps, bios turbo settings, could be a number of reasons.

Checked bios settings already and it said the boost tech is on and the intel speedstep enabled. Is the stock cooler might be the reason ? my cpu temps under full load is around 60 degrees celcius.

No, it must be something else. 60C is a very respectable temperature for max loads.

Yeah idk, just checked the ASUS webpage that the motherboard actually supports the Intel boost technology. Something might be off on the bios settings or idk what's wrong anymore.

Are you running the latest BIOS? Just a thought...

Make sure all chipset drivers are installed...

I'd look for (and remove) any potential power and/or duration limits within the BIOS...

Might also try Performance Mode within Power plans...

try to set the cpu turbo ratio manually to 42 on all cores

These tests are made to push the tech as much as possible so getting the advertised all core clocks is all you can expect.
Run something else like a game or even cinebench and report back if you still won't get above 3.6 even with a game then we should look for an issue.

just did the test and it showed that my cpu got lower score than the other i3 9100f and won't get above 3.6

already did the high performance mode and still wont go any further than 3.6

This is the answer for all the problem. It is totally my bad, i thought the seller already updating my bios version cause i just bought the system last weeks. Updated it and it works like a charm. Thanks man !
