Go to solution Solved by SkixAces,

so i had my 5820k overclocked to 4.7GHz at 1.3v today I updated to windows 10 and now cpuz says it down to 1.2GHZ with multiplier 12 still has 1.3v tho. i went into the BIOS and everything is the same as before, any ideas?

Thats normal. In idle it runs at a low clock speed to reduce power consumption. You can adjust that somewhere in your settings (only know how to do it in catalyst control centre) Under load the clocks will go to 4.7GHz (do a stress test like prime95 to test this)

Don't use task manager.

Stress test and look with CPU-z

This is a signature.
