The CPU doesn't boost at all!

[Mutta Bones]

rocking a 15 3300, with a intel desktop board, DH61CR, 4 gigs ddr 1333, and win 10 32 bit.

I use this as a plex server, wherin I need only 1/2 transcoded streams, mostly without any transcoding at all, unless playing HEVC. This setup is too old for me to daily drive, I do got another computer with plex client on the same network. Usually the new setup doesn't need transcoding, direct play works properly on that, even with 4k HEVC.

(obviously HEVC direct play doesn't work on the server, (too old) that is when I transcode. )

Now the problem is, this CPU is rated for turbo boost upto( I think )3.3 GHz.

not just while playing transcoded streams, but it NEVER boosts to 3 GHz

.

While playing transcoded streams, the CPU barely runs at 2 GHz, mostly close to 1.5GHz.  Task manager shows usage at less than 70%. Thing is running on integrated graphics mind you. It used to run at full throttle awhile back. Idk what changed, it suddenly starts having these problems.

I observed 2.9 GHz clocks on a regular basis. (before these problems).
