Core i5-4590 low GHz

JWebb1 · ‎01-13-2018

I have recently purchased an i5 4590 quad core 3.3/3.7 Turbo GHz chip however it only runs at 2.57 GHz at max and 78% utilization max. I have tested with a CPU stress test, including Intel's own, so I know this for a fact to be true. my max temps on the CPU are 42 degrees celcius, never went higher. I know my PSU is up to par and my bios (Asus H81M-K) was updated just today to try and fix this issue to no evail. I have noticed my CPU also runs around 0.92 volts at any given time if this helps. Thank you!

Hello JacobW.,

Thank you for joining the Processors Community. I am sorry to hear you are having issues with this matter.

The firs thing I would like to share with you is that we have seen cases where certain settings in the BIOS could limit the processors to reach the spec, this is why I recommend contacting ASUS in order to confirm if any of their BIOS settings could limit the frequency of the processor.

Could you please let us know the following information?

BIOS version installed.
Power supply part number.
Provide your https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool Download Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool report.
Make sure your BIOS is running with the default settings.

To attach a file, the "attach" option will appear in the bottom right corner of the response box.

Regards,

Amy C.
