Cpu help!

[takablecobra230]

Having problems with a brand new i5 4690k. I just installed windows 10, but the problem started before then. It is only running at .80ghz. Im using a seidon 120v cpu cooler.

CPUs downclock themselves when there's little to no load to save power.

 

My i3 is at 1.7GHz right now with 6 programs open, just for an example.

THIS

ignore what everyone else is saying

If you want to fix it, go into power options, click the down arrow

and select High Performance, If it still doesn't work go into the Bios and disable speed step
