When I start a game, my CPU speed drops to 1.60ghz instead of the usual 4.20. I’m not sure if this is normal or if something’s wrong. PC specs: i5 8600k OC 16GB DDR4 2400mhz GTX 1060 6GB. Need help!

I don't monitor processor temperatures directly. I rely on system diagnostics for that information. For cooling, I use standard methods like fans or liquid cooling as needed.

I operate with a Cooler Master Evo 212 and I don't

To check for thermal throttling in games, keep an eye on your temperatures. If they stay stable—such as around 80°C during play or lower—consider switching your power plan to performance mode.

Examine the temperatures, execute a CPU stress test to check for overheating. Tools like hwinfo can help monitor the temps.

Use a specialized stress testing tool designed for CPUs, such as Prime95 or AIDA64.

I rely on prime95 but there are many alternatives that might be easier to use for beginners. Since I’m not familiar with current options, you can check online searches for user-friendly tools. Search engine results should help you find something suitable if you prefer a different approach.

Realbench Intel burn test is a performance evaluation of the processor.

You're considering alternatives to realbench for CPU testing. It's a versatile tool that also helps assess overall system performance under different workloads.
