Hello!
I'm not really sure if this is an issue or not, but the Intel i5-8400 I recently purchased will not run at base clock speed, in the BIOS or in Windows. It seems like it's stuck at max Turbo frequency. Base speed is supposed to be 2.8 GHz; it'll sit at 3.8 GHz in the BIOS and Windows, and all 6 cores will hit 4GHz in Windows during gaming.
I disabled multi-core enhancement in the BIOS, and it made no difference. I also tried setting it to Auto.
I disabled the XMP profile setting.
I updated the BIOS to the newest version released 3/1; same issue.
I tried enabling/ disabling C1, EIST, and Turbo Boost.
I changed everything from Auto to Enabled; all C states, Turbo Boost, Speed Shift, EIST, Efficient Turbo. Voltage Optimization. No changes.
I'm not having system instability, or any odd issues. Everything honestly is running incredibly well.
The motherboard is the Gigabyte Z370P D3.
