Hey all I'm so confused, today I just switched from a Ryzen 9 3900X to a Ryzen 9 5950X, and am experiencing clock speeds under 1.0 GHz, I've seen it dip to 0.75 GHz, mostly when idle, but it makes my PC stutter so bad. When I'm playing games I don't really see it as often.

PC Build
CPU : Ryzen 9 5950X
GPU : EVGA RTX 3070 XC3
PSU : Cosair 750 Gold
NVME : 2 Samsung 1TB
RAM : 32 GB (2 x 16) Vengeance RGB
COOLER : Be Cool n Quiet

If anyone has had the same issue please let me know, thanks!

What motherboard ? Latest BIOS ? It is supposed to lower frequency at idle even bellow 1GHz at one core while rest can be in "sleep" mode.
