Posted December 19, 2014 My fx 6300 came in today. And i bought the no box version. So after is installed it it said that its 3.1 ghz, but it should be 3.5. And it also performs a lot worse than it should. I was only getting 5720 points on passmark instead of 6000+ that i should be getting. My motherboard only has 4pin cpu connector and i only have 2gb of ram right now (will get 8gb soon), if that helps. Anyway here are the specs:Mobo: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Posted December 19, 2014 dont trust task manager plz, and well then JUST OVERCLOCK IT.

Posted December 19, 2014 Overclock the *****! It was meant to be overclocked. There is a great guide on how to overclock AMD FX chips on LTT. Too many ****ing games!

Posted December 19, 2014 Heh. First off, what are your temperatures? Try a program like Core Temp. Your FX-6300 is probably running far too hot and is throttling to keep itself at a safe temperature.

Posted December 19, 2014 15C it says it right there Sorry, screenshot wasn't loading for me. Make sure that Speccy isn't just making those temps up and then try overclocking the hell out of it.

Posted December 19, 2014 Be careful with that motherboard, only 4+1 VRMs with no heatsinks... recipe for disaster.

Posted December 19, 2014 15C it says it right there Something tells me unless it's 2 degrees in your room you are not running that cpu at 15c even at idle. I would say put a load on it then check cpu speed again, it won't always run max speed.

Posted December 19, 2014 Power Savings is what I see...,.....CPU's can do different speeds easily on the fly via the CPU Multiplier, Go to windows power profiles, in control panel, click and enable 'high performance' ........as default is probably set to something else which enabled harsher declocking. This will leave it at it's highest or higher frequencies for longer. The 800-1400+Mhz is a power saving technique, if you do not want it, set high performance, and if it still happens, improve cooling, or disable AMD's Power saving in the bios. Watch your Temps and see how you go with it staying at it's higher frequencies over time as it will build heat if your airflow is bad. Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 19, 2014 You could try reset your BIOS? That might be the problem. Task manager's CPU clock is calculated at startup, so it might be that. I use a Lenovo T440: i5 4300U, 8GB RAM, 128GB Samsung 840 Evo, 14" 900p display and an external 23" 1080p passive 3D monitor. Extended 6-cell battery with internal 3-cell. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (I only use open-source software -- haven't paid for a single program yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 19, 2014 You're CPU is downclocking, you need to turn off cool n' quiet in the BIOS. Try running the test again once you've done that.
