Open BIOS, make it the default, restart and verify it remains unchanged. If you adjusted settings such as core speed in non-K models, it may behave differently now.
It functions perfectly even in a poorly cooled setup. It increases power only when needed, then returns to its normal operating frequency to avoid overheating. Most budget models from that time act this way, so there’s no cause for concern—just how CPUs are designed to protect themselves.
The main turbo operates at 3.2GHz, but it reaches higher speeds only when the other cores aren't under load.
