Hi I just got a q9650 which has a max frequency of 3GHz (OS: Windows 10)
when I ran a stress test, MSI afterburner showed all 4 cores using 100%
CPU-Z also showed the current frequency was about 2993MHz which is fine.
however task manager showed that it was only using about 90% at 2.72 GHz even at the max 9x multiplier.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Shouldn't the processor be using 100% a 3GHz in task manager?
