Hi I'm using a ASRock h170m pro4 motherboard and Intel g4560 Ram 8gb Kingston Ddr4 2133mhz..
But the frequency of the CPU is 3.46ghz at Max usage in the task manager Of windows 10 pro creators update shouldn't it be 3.50ghz?

I'm fairly sure this is just Task Manager not being accurate, try downloading CPU-Z or another software that can give accurate clock readings for the CPU. I have a similar thing with my CPU, shows up a couple MHz below what it should be in Task Manager (4.46 instead of 4.5) but in CPU-Z and other programs it's registered correctly. Hope this helps :)

Silicon lottery is something different, it's referring to the ability of a cpu and how far it can overclock as well as how much voltage is needed to attain the overclock. 3.8ghz with 1.3v core voltage vs 4ghz with 1.22v core voltage shows a difference in silicon lottery. As does one cpu being able to overclock to 4ghz while another won't go any higher than 3.8 without becoming unstable and crashing.

Sometimes what happens is the bios runs the bus speed at 99mhz instead of 100mhz. Cpu speeds for intel are a combination of bus speed/frequency and a multiplier. The front side bus runs at 100mhz and if the cpu is supposed to run at 3.5ghz then it would look like this - 100mhz x 35 (35 being the multiplier) = 3500mhz or 3.5ghz.

Now if the bios for some reason is dropping the bus speed to 99mhz, then it becomes 99mhz x 35 = 3465mhz or 3.46ghz. Sometimes boards will be set at 100mhz but only offer 99mhz, with z series boards it's possible to set the bus speed to 101mhz which generally fixes that issue. I looked through the user manual and bios setup, it doesn't look like that board has any fsb adjustments. In order to get those features you usually need a z series board.

All in all I wouldn't worry about it, 3.46ghz vs 3.5ghz you're only talking about 40mhz. The only way you'd see a difference is a technicality on a synthetic benchmark.
