Hey guys,
I have been having problems with my 8350 where when its at 100% load but the frequency stays at 1615.4MHz.
I have OCed it to run at 4.6MHz and I have turned off Cool n' Quiet
Any ideas or answers.

System Specs:
ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z
Sapphire R9 290
Corsair Vengeance 8gb
Corsair RM 850
NZXT Kraken x60
Corsair H75 (For GPU)

Temperature and volts are abnormally low... that 8.9°C CPU temp (48°F) is way cold... it should start from around 30°C and voltage about 1.28v. Check the CPU voltage and adjust it as necessary. You may have to lower the CPU clock temporarily to normal to prevent issues. Also check and adjust as necessary all BIOS Power options such as Hardware Thermal control, CPU Smart Fan...

You may have to lower the CPU clock temporarily to normal to prevent issues. Also check and adjust as necessary all BIOS Power options such as Hardware Thermal control, CPU Smart Fan Control, and Cool & Quiet.

In your CPU-Z image the CPU clock multiplier is x7.0 from 7 to 21 settings so it's set to the lowest possible setting. This seems to be the main problem... the BIOS reset should have solved it but you may have done it incorrectly.

As it seems, you tried overclocking it but apparently underclocked it instead. Set the CPU clock to normal, save the changes, restart the computer and again access the BIOS, and set the clock multiplier to auto, check the number.. should be around 15 when the CPU is at normal Core Speed (Ghz).. After that you can overclock it increasing the clock multiplier number gradually to the desired CPU speed.

OK, I now see your two CPU-Z images. The Windows Power Settings may be disabling the BIOS Power Settings. Check the Windows Control Panel / Power Options / Power Plan... Change plan Settings / Change Advanced Power Settings / Processor Power Management...

EDIT
Or simply select the "High Performance" Power Plan in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options
