hi i have a amd fx 8350 dose this cpu automatically reduce the clock speed when the computer is idle, my cpu is constantly at 4113.7mhz
 
Solution
its in power settings. If your on high performance, which most are, the min and max cpu is at 100% and 100%. Which means that no matter what the cpu is at 100%. If you don't want this, either change the plan to like balanced, or go to the cpu part and change minimum to like 10% or 50% or something.
