Question about Fx 9370

[donuts59]

So bought a prebuilt gaming pc, since then ive swapped the motherboard, gpu, psu, and liquid cooling, so only thing is now this is almost a new machine all over but the cpu. I used to overclock a bit which is also the reason most of the other parts burned out. But my question is this, my cpu runs at 1.32ghz but Coretemp, and easytune6 it says its running at 4.4 which is normal. I know this because i have windows 10 and i can see the speed of the cpu on the task manager. And i cant play top end games for shit, and i used to play everything. Can part of my cpu be burned out and cause something like this?

have you tried turning off cool and quiet in the bios, and making sure turbo boost is not on?

 

[donuts59]

Yes for both, i think its a faulty mobo

Task Manager is reporting 1.35GHz because that's what the current clock speed is. CoreTemp is reporting the maximum clock speed, not the current one.

What's the full specification of your PC? Does the CPU have an aftermarket cooler (which one?) or the standard AMD one?

 

[akseli]

I think that's about normal. The CPU should run at lower clockspeed when it's not under load, like in your case.

If your performance under load isn't what it should, and you upgraded to Windows 10, maybe maybe some power setting is not allowing it to run at full speed. Though that would be strange as Windows definetly shouldn't default to something like that.

In that case it could be cooling not being able to keep the CPU cool enough, or motherboard not being able to feed the CPU power.

You did make an upgrade or reinstall when you changed parts?

You could try some simple CPU benchmark to see if the result is what to be expected.

agree with Akseli. your computer is not underload which would downclock. if you want to have it at full load, even when idle you have to turn off all the power saving features in the bios.

 

[donuts59]

I have done that, turned off all power saving features in bios, updated bios to the current one, had windows 7 and it did the same thing as it does on the windows 10. Tried underclocking, couldnt get it past 1.4ghz. But when in bios is shows im running the normal 4.4ghz. I have a cooler master seidon 120xl. Really starting to think the mobo is not putting out enough wattage. Also vcore wattage is like 0.9, fx9370 should be 1.5v. I have ensured the cable for the extra cpu power is seated correctly and working. This is a new mobo i should also remention. I up the voltage and try to get the cpu speed higher but cant pass 1.4ghz
