That is wired because when I run 3Dmark on mine I have 4.6Ghz.

 

Is your CPU thermal throttling?

well either disable EIST (speedstep) or enable high performance power settings inside of windows. your cpu then wont downlock either way

Thermal throttling most likely. What are your temps/cooling?

did the "thermal throttling 0%" in the pic not answer your question, highest temps i get are 70 C

Uhh, downclocking while locked at frequency... thats scary. Try feeding a little more voltage and see what happens.

It's funny how literally half the replies read your post. Anyways I think you should try what the first guy suggested. I had a similar issue and then I realized I forgot I left my power settings on low for overnight downloads. 

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.

make sure your c-states are disabled then too. you can also try to up your vccin (cpu input voltage) to something between 1.9 and 2.05v

oh and set llc (if youve chosen one, to auto) 

 

are you using fixed voltages or adaptive? try to stick to fixed voltages for stresstesting and benchmarking

how do i check c-states, and is 2V even safe???

Vccin isn't core voltage. Vccin is the input to the FIVR and generally speaking anything below 2.1 or so is safe (I have mine at 1.98).

 

Voltage itself doesn't actually kill processors as much as people worry about it, but I would generally stay below 1.4V Vcore on haswell.

youll find your c-states setting in your advanced cpu settings where you propably find speedstep too. @ 2v even safe look at the post above this one :P

ok what would Vccin be under in bios because i dont think ive ever seen a vccin option before

Uhh, honestly I don't know with asrock z97 boards...

 

You should look through your documentation for it.

Did u only PC one core because u may just be running a boot

Like the 4790k is "4.4" but only on one core and runs at 4.2 under full load

AMD (and proud) r7 1700 4ghz- 

also (1600)

Turn off the C states?

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

This is the 2nd time you've responded to someone like this, I recommend you leave your PC for 30 mins and go do something else, we're here to help not take shit from you. Now go chill out and come back with a clear head please.
