I recently changed my computer from an r5 3600 to an r5 7600. Everything appeared normal, it started up and connected to the drives, but I noticed difficulties with opening File Explorer and slow performance when using Discord. When I opened HWmonitor, my CPU was idle at 500mhz with a voltage of 0.5v. Attempting to launch Valorant took about 20 minutes, and it remained stuck at that frequency during the process.

I tested various solutions including resetting the BIOS and adjusting the CPU voltage to 1, but the issue persisted. The only possible cause I found was related to the CPU pins connecting to the motherboard. My PSU only has 8 pins for the CPU, whereas the new motherboard provides 12 pins. I checked the documentation, which indicated compatibility with 8 pins.

My friend suggested it could be the RAM, but I’m not sure. It might be that my PSU needs an additional four pins to properly power the CPU, or there could be a fault with the motherboard or the RAM timing. Here are the components I have: ASUS TUF b650M with plus Wi-Fi, R5 7600, DDR5 Corsair RAM 2x32 (32-40-40-84), and an RTX 2060.

Did you obtain the chipset drivers and related software from the motherboard makers' websites? Was the operating system a fresh installation, or did you simply transfer the existing drive into the new one?

Changed the motherboard?
Then reinstall windows.
Verify if the CPU cooler is correctly installed.
If not, the CPU may overheat and operate at reduced speed.
Connect both CPU 12V connectors (4pin and 8pin) to the motherboard.
What PSU model are you using?

What are the temperatures? If they're too high, the CPU will slow down until it reaches safe levels. That means it shouldn't drop to 500Mhz.
