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

did you make sure to hit 'save' on the BIOS? happens to me ALL the time

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

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.
