    CPU Clock Speed WAY TOO HIGH


    Ummm... so the other day I was playing a bit of CS:GO, and i was running an average of 200-300 fps on max settings in-game, and once I was done I got off. The next day I tried playing the fps was terrible, I'm talking 20-30. So I set all the settings to the lowest they could be and I still get the same amount of FPS... So I think I've found the problem, and it's that my clock speed is WAY too high... my processor runs at 2.30GHz and its at around 3900MHz as I'm typing this. Please help!

    Here are my specs:CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8300H CPU @ 2.30GHz

    RAM: 8GB

    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 1050Ti, Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630

    Motherboard: HP 8478

    CPU Clock speed locked at 0.79GHz

    Hi, I have an i7-4500U CPU and for the last few months my system starts at full speed (2.39GHz) but as soon as the CPU goes below 30% utilisation after startup, the system locks the clock speed to 0.79GHz even when the fan is off. The CPU temperature is
    around the 50degree C mark, therefore should be allowing the processor to go up to full clock speed.

    I've changed the power settings to set the minimum clock speed to 50%, but that has made no difference.

    CPU Clock speed locked at 0.79GHz

    Hi, the software to detect CPU performance is windows task manager. It shouldn't be wrong as it replicates what I'm seeing. With the clock speed reduced, I'm getting a lot of lag in response to high demand activities such as large spreadsheet calculations
    and opening large files.

    For the CPU temperature I'm using CPUID, which is usually a reasonable indicator. in most cases when it is showing the CPU is hot, the fan does turn on.

    CPU Clock Speed Problems

    Welcome to the Forum

    When in high load the CPU can get at high temperatures and then the clock is lowered to protect the CPU from damage.
    My suggestion is to use Open Hardware monitor. Doesn't need to be installed. Expand to a folder and run the exe file. Under options you can set to run on startup.
