My I5 14600KF CPU is maintaining clock boost on desktop use. However, during the game, the clock drops and remains at the base clock.

I managed to discover the problem. It was a feature of the "Norton 360 for games" application that was turned on: game optimizer. In any case, I thank you for your prompt attention to the matter.
