cpu Cpu is stuck at minimum power

[Raukky]

So I bought some used parts to build a budget computer and plan to upgrade in the future...however I have an i53570k that is overclockable with my asrock z77 extreme4 and my cpu ghz does not go over 1.6 ghz even under stress testing or playing video games. I have turned my windows on performance mode and even gone into the bios to change some setting but nothing fixes the problem. I’ve also checked the voltage and it stays in .98 volts...my psu shouldn’t be a problem since it’s 850 w bronze... I know it’s old hardware but I don’t have the money to buy a new one yet and wanted to fix this problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

it may be the motherboard is shorting and going into protection

Have you checked the temps? The cpu will bottleneck itself if its overheating, this includes lowering its voltage

thats called underclocking, not bottlenecking

Download ThrottleStop from TechPowerUp, open up the Limit Reasons window and see if anything is showing red.  If BD PROCHOT is red, try disabling that on the main screen of ThrottleStop.  This is a common reason for a CPU to get stuck at a low frequency.  Also make sure SpeedStep and Turbo Boost are enabled in the bios.  Post some ThrottleStop pics if you need help.

You think the motherboard is just old and doesn’t work?

It’s 43c under stress

Limit reasons was grayed out but I disabled bd prochot and it fix the ghz problem...my pc is running a lot better now but now it’s susceptible to over heating?  (I have a 212 evo cooler)

What is your definition of over heating?  Intel says that the Core i5-3570K can run reliably up to a peak core temperature of 105°C.  That is when thermal throttling will start to prevent the CPU from being damaged. 

 

What temperatures are you hitting?  I used to run my 3570K at over 90°C while stress testing without any problems.  

 

 

Above is hot and the next picture is really hot!  The 3570K will continue to run at full speed until it reaches its 105°C thermal throttling temperature.  The second picture includes the built in Intel GPU for a little extra heat.

oh wow i should be fine i guess because im getting temps around 80C under a load. well i really appreciate all the help you've been!
