Hi,
I've recently built a new computer. Ever since I finished it in March (2017), It has been running at a clock speed of about 1.40 GHz. I understand that while idling or browsing the internet, the CPU doesn't need to be running at such a high clock speed. However, when I'm gaming, PUBG in particular, my frames start to spike and I constantly have a low FPS. Only during rendering a video or running a stress test on my CPU does the clock speed reach its full clock speed at about 4.2 GHz. I have tried changing my boot setup to allow all cores to be active in ms-config. However, that didn't help the speed. I have also tried changing the clock ratio, voltage and boost in bios and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Both didn't have an effect on my CPU speed.
Specs for my PC:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z270 Gaming
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
CPU: i7-7700k
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
RAM: 32gb G-Skill
PSU: 850 watts
I'd be very grateful if someone could help me figure this issue out. And if anyone has the same problem, please let me know if you have found a solution.
