Not really. It's about on par with a modern stock dual core when overclocked. You should struggle to run anything above low settings.

 

@Qwertic Try running a stress test with Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to see if the cores max out. Heaven Benchmark won't tell you anything, since it's GPU intensive.

FOR EVERYONE WHO MIGHT BE INTRESTED IN THIS FIX (not permanent) you might find a better way.

thank you for this i have ran cpu benchmarks with this cpu. Cinebench with overclock 3.6Ghz gets about 535 cb.  But ine every game my cpu seems to bottleneck (my ram is not full and not underclocked, my gpu runs at 50% and is a new gtx 1050ti) ssd and hdd is not the issue

Have you already tried to clear CMOS? And have you tried to change Windows power management to high performance? Weird that it was still able to use all cores on Cinebench but not games.

But if my quad core 3.6Ghz runs at on core why would a hexa core solve this issue. Remember i have this issue on every game (gta V included)

It most likely won't solve the issue. Other than being able to run at a higher clock speed.

This is such a weird issue. Yes i have cleared CMOS and windows settings performance settings is all good (i also had a 2h long chat with a microsoft suppoer operator xD) it is so weird that cinebench does the trick but none of my games do it!? @Pasi123

Sounds like the game is just a single thread game, and doesn't take advantage of the other cores. I don't think anything is wrong with the computer.

 

You could run benchmarks and compare your results to other 17 920 results. 

 

In benchmarks it uses all cores but in all of my games it does not. Remember this is over 20 games gta, csgo, rust, warthunder,... list goes on. These games have multie core functions

I agree, sounds like a Windows issue. I'd try a fresh install myself. Your OS is responsible for all the scheduling. And no, a hexa core isn't going to solve the problem. Did you try using Intel XTU to test all the cores?

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

Does the XTU tool support the i7 920 !? @JoostinOnline

I don't see why it wouldn't. It's free, so just install it and run a stress test while monitoring core usage.
