Different CPU Frequency on Each Game!

[Khader87]

Hi, 

 

I have i7 9700 non K on Asus Prime z390 board, 16GB DDR4 @3600mhz @CL17 and Strix 5700xt.

 

The CPU BCLK IS @ XMP Default of 102.3Some games like AC ODYSSEY runs all cores @4.5ghz

TW: Three Kingdoms @4.6ghz

Planet Coaster between 4.5ghz and 4.6ghz

The Division 2 - 4.5ghz - 4.6ghz.

 

i used to have i7 4790 and all cores were running @ 3.8ghz all the time ao this is weird for me. 

 

voltage is auto, HWinfo report 1.35vcore max, temps are in 60s max. 

 

Asus multicore enhancement is set to auto, cores are set to 47 multiplier, current is sett to max 255, iccmax is set to unlimited wattage, on benchmarks it draws 135watts.

 

i get above expected results in userbenchmark and 3dmark. 19500 on firestrike and 9800 on time spy. 

 

isbthis normal or not?

It looks normal, different games have different CPU utilizations resulting in slightly different clocks die to how turbo boost multiplier table works.

Yep. The CPU can also boost more if less cores are being used, and boosts less when more cores are used.
