Cpu Frequency

[Pramain F]

i have intel i5 4590 and i manually unclocked cpu cores to 3.7ghz on bios

and cpu goes to maximum 3.7ghz in windows 

but my question is when gaming max cpu is 3.5ghz 

why cpu cant go max 3.7ghz when gaming ??

any solution to this ?

whats the cooling? could be changing the clock due to bad thermals

cooler master Hyper 612 PWM

idle temps are around 35-45

when gaming around 60c

yes 

even i checked the clock speeds on HWinfo64 and windows task manager , max was 3.7ghz

but when gaming max was 3.5ghz , i checked it using msi afterburn

my guess would be a bad chip, get in touch with Intel or your motherboard manufacturer

so it has nothing to do with the games or windows 10 ?

I wouldn't think so, sounds like a hardware issue

The Core i5-4590 tops out at 3.50 GHz when 4 cores are active.

His 4590 is running exactly as Intel designed it to run.
