CPU won’t break .8 ghz

[Frank12345678911]

Hi guys I need some help I’ve been doing research for ever and I can’t seem to find a solution my cpu a Intel i7- 4790K won’t break .78 Ghz and my tempiture is under 35c it’s crazy even at full load! any help would be appreciated.

picture is gta v full load with .78 ghz

That's because it's only using 8% of it?

Use CPU-Z to read the freq. the Windows Task Manager could be bugged.

That's because it isn't under 100% load. Try a CPU stress test and see what it hits. Should be 100% and the overclock that you gave it.

[Frank12345678911]

Even when I run gta 5 it only uses 8% and the game is really laggy

I’m gonna bench test it with geek bench and post the scores

Have you tried resetting your BIOS?

[Frank12345678911]

No that’s next

 

Photos show my progress this time cpu won’t break 20% usage and is in drastic spikes going from 20% to 0% and back but never breaks 20% or .78 ghz

[Frank12345678911]

My score and usage are definitely a problem

Check advance power management settings to make sure windows will be allowed to use 100% of its potential 

[Frank12345678911]

Where exactly don’t wanna miss anything 

 

 

If so the problem still consists

Down there on that list is "Processor Power Management". Check if the system is allowed to use 100%. If that doesn't work, check your multiplier in BIOS. Reset BIOS if necessary.

 

And answer directly to people or tag them otherwise they won't know if you post something new.

Seems too be 100%

It seems to be or it is? There's no -ish to it.

 

And check to what multiplier your CPU is set. I everything is set correctly and it still doesn't work, reset BIOS. 

 

Have you installed any software lately before it all went down? Your CPU is supposed to throttle down if there's no load to save energy. You can deactivate that in BIOS.

Power is at 100% and bios reset didn’t fix anything and my multiplier I’ll send a picture. My pc was working fine then all of a sudden I went to play csgo and it was extremely slow so I investigated and this is what I found

[bowrilla]

The BIOS stats should show your current clock speed. If that is not at your set 4.4GHz you might have a hardware malfunction. If your BIOS shows full speed and only Windows doesn't you might want to freshly install Windows.

Did that yesterday literally just got everything redowladed. One thing I did find while doing some more research that there is a switch on my mobo LN2 cooling I’m gonna try rn and a bios setting I’ll come back with results 

[Frank12345678911]

fixed it! There was a switch on my mobo off.

So you DID change something on your system and forgot to mention it.
