So I did actually download HWiNFO the yesterday to check everything and yea when I was over looking everything, nothing seemed to be overheating at all, or getting hot for that matter. As far as warranty, I also looked into that as well, I sent a request in just waiting for a reply now which probably won't be till next week. At this point though I don't think there is much fixing, I went into the bios set it up as high as it could and I've done everything I could think of and everything I've also found. Pretty much its warranty, or replace at this point it seems. Edit: misread when i bought it, so its out of warranty. ?

So I've been trying to use ThrottleStop, but none of the settings I've done seem to take, But here's the limit reasons I've got. Also decided that I was going to attempt to RMA my board to see if MSI will honor the warranty that I just remembered I had.

I haven't changed done much in the BIOS anyways so it hasn't really made a difference.. I don't exactly have any tools to actually check accurately, But I did however run it for a bit, then disassembled the computer to check if there was any major heat coming off of anything, and pretty much everything was super cool to the touch. I'm thinking its gotta be a sensor of some sorts, unless you have any other suggestions because the BD prochot seems to be the big issue here.

I'll attempt that just to see, but what I keep running into is some sort of Thermal Throttling, I'm unsure of whats actually causing it, but it only seems to run at a max of 1.2ghz. I'll attach some screenshots of what I'm looking at for reference. Also I tried using throttlestop, but other than a couple things, I'm kinda using it for reference more or less. Anyways one is general settings, One is a benchmark, and then the other two are stress tests with stats at the bottom. Edit: I restored defaults on bios. Same results.

Update: So according to task manager I'm getting 3.30ghz now, which is correct, but according to intel extreme tuning utility, I'm only getting a core freq of 1.2, and it continues to tell me that thermal throttling is happening, but my highest temp in the benchmark is only 33C. My power management settings are set to max btw.

My CPU temps were sitting at about 30-40C, but I believe i got it taken care of. After looking into the mobo a bit more, I saw that one of my fans were plugged into a cpu fan slot, moved it to another slot, and it seems to be back to normal....I think.

So I'm running into issues and have no idea where else to look. I'm having issues with my i7-5820K CPU being throttled down to 1.19ghz. I've gone through all the settings I can think of to get rid of the throttle and nothing has yet to work. Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 17134) (17134.rs4_release.180410-1804) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: MSI System Model: MSI X99A GAMING 9 ACK MS-7882 BIOS: 3.00 (type: UEFI) Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz (12 CPUs), ~3.3GHz Memory: 32768MB RAM Available OS Memory: 32664MB RAM Page File: 6247MB used, 31279MB available Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS DirectX Version: DirectX 12 I'm lost for words, Most stuff acts fine, runs and plays fine, but what finally threw me over the line is how crappy Diablo 3 plays, and yes I've monitored it, during high loads it doesn't change. And the one thing I keep running into is it referring to Thermal throttling, but my CPU never overheats. Not sure why or where it would be coming from. plz help!
