Does the overclock seem to be active even when it isn't visible in the task manager?
Does the overclock seem to be active even when it isn't visible in the task manager?
I constructed my initial computer a few months back and applied an overclock at 3.8, which I was satisfied with. I thoroughly verified its functionality before the change. After updating to the latest Windows patch, my system became sluggish when running Cemu (Wii U emulator, particularly affected by single-thread performance), so I checked Task Manager to see if the reported speed was only 3.2 GHz.
Is this issue linked to Task Manager or is the overclock not functioning properly? I adjusted various BIOS settings, but they only limited the speed to 3.2 GHz in Task Manager.

on the monitor to the right, all your cores are at 3.8, which means you're fine. The cooler only displays the base clock. I'm not sure why Task Manager shows only 3.2 even though the utilization is high on the right side. It could just be how AMD appears in Windows 10.
