CPU running at half speed

[The Third Thomas]

Why is my CPU running at 1.6 GHz?

 

Normally it's running 4.1 when active, but today it just suddenly dropped to 1.6, I checked because my pc felt a little sluggish. Haven't seen it go over 2.1 in about half an hour yet.

The CPU will limit the frequency to what it's needed, for example you can open a game that's CPU heavy(ex.CSGO) and Alt+Tab to see the frequency it's running at. It will most likely be around 3.9-4.0(If you're In-Game)

Yeah the problem was that my League of legends normally runs at 200+ fps, and now it was running at 40 with constant stuttering. 

 

2nd restart fixed the problem.
