Problem overclocking i5 10600k

[Whipdred]

Hi, as you can see, as soon as I launch any game, my cpu clock auto-downgrades. I did a stress test with CPU-Z and a benchmark with Cinebench 23 and it remains at 5Ghz. The temperatures are also normal, it doesn't go above 80°C (176°F). And of course it remains like that even after I close the game. I have to restart my PC to bring the cpu back to 5Ghz but it's still the same problem over and over...

Help please

My setup :
i5-10600k
MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus

16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO (OC 4000Mhz, 19-23-23-45)

Zotac RTX 3070 Twin Edge OC

Mag Coreliquid 240R

PSU EVGA SuperNOVA 750 GA, 80 Plus gold

SSD PNY CS900 480GB 

HDD Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200

HDD Toshiba P300 3TB 7200

This is a common problem recently when running some games. Intel Turbo Boost gets disabled and it is forever left like that until you reboot. The 10600K has a base frequency of 4.1 GHz. Are you limited to that speed during some games?

 

Are you running MSI Dragon Center? Try removing this and see if this problem goes away.

 

Here is how you can properly test what is going on as well as fix this problem.

In your video it looks like you are power limit throttling. Increase your turbo power limits in the BIOS and do not run Dragon Center.

Hi, thank you for your quick answer. You were right, I had to simply disable the gaming mode in Dragon Center. I saw that it switches mode to "extreme performance" so the CPU clock changes. So if anyone has the same issue try to simply disable it.
