What CPU? Does the clock goes higher if you run something else (prime95 for example)?

And since you are able to see your current cpu clock i guess you are running windows 8/8.1...

Ryzen 5 5600, 32GB DDR4, GTX 3070Ti, Acer Predator x34

Did you disable all C-states in bios?

I have the same problem with i5 4670. The task manager and some other programmes show that its running at 0.80GHz but when I look at some CPU monitor like OCCT it goes all the way up to 3.8GHz. I have no idea what to do with it.

What does CPUZ show when you stress test it?

I have finally fixed my 0,80GHz cap by BIOS update. (FYI: it was just an apparent cap in windows task manager, CPU-Z showed it right)
