CPU Spiking / Stuck underload.

[Lucas9825]

I just need a little insight on what is normal for an i7-6700k skylake "stock" processor to be running at voltage and core clock wise. 

whenever I'm trying to play games or open / fiddle with programs the processor will drop to 0.71 voltage and around 800MHz and will cause insane performance/FPS drop.

Usually whenever the CPU spikes it'll occur on all 4 cores and stick around 70-100% load. 

 

I'm honestly just stumped and dont know what to do at this point.  even if I restart the computer the issue will still persist. 

I've completely wiped the computer clean, re-installed windows, reset bios and reinstalled drivers yet I'm still getting this odd problem.

Even when I'm playing games or trying to run multiple applications at once it'll stick around 800Mhz at around 0.70 volts which will cause insane stutter / sluggish frame drop. 

But when It spikes up to its normal 4000Mhz at around 1.2 volts it'll perform flawlessly. 

 

 

If anyone can help me that'd be awesome.

Temps at 14-15c? Typo?

I'm just going off what CAM monitoring software is telling me in the screenshots, temps stay relatively low.

Well unless your heater is broken and your room is at 14c, your CPU cant be that cold.

CPU temps can NEVER be lower than ambient.

Gotcha, must be wrong then... Just trying to figure out this issue.

Computer will barely function as of right now.

Maybe try to disable intel speedstep?

Go to your power management and set it to high performance then double check in advanced options if your minimum processor state is set to 100% if not change it to 100% and check your maximum processor state is also set to 100%.

I disabled EIST in the bios earlier but didnt make a difference unless that's something different.

BTW your temperatures will be higher so maybe setting your minimum a little lower might let your cpu cool down when your not using it.

I just checked to see and my power settings were already under High Performance & the min and max were set at 100% by default. 

hmm..
