I've been having problems with my FX-8350 over the last month or so with it running way under clocked for no real reason I could work out.
It used to run anywhere from 4-4.4GHz depending on what I was doing but now it sits at 3.3GHz whether it's idle on the desktop, rendering video or playing games. I enabled "X-Boost" on boot now and it bumps it up to 3.6GHz.
I thought it may have been thermal throttling so I bumped the limit up a few degrees to 58 Celsius now, but it only ever hits 48-50 Celsius but never much more.
It's been set to auto in all aspects in the bios and software since I put the system together 2 years ago.
Have no idea where to even start looking to try figure it out so any ideas will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

No idea how to mark solved so added to title
