I7 9700k rarely exceeds 3800mhz
Hello Friends I ran some benchmarks using 3DMark and noticed I consistently lag behind others in FPS compared to similar builds. The CPU test showed me stuck at around 3800MHz, with occasional spikes pushing it up to 3.9GHz. My motherboard is the ASUS Prime 390-A, running BIOS version 1802. It seems my CPU should normally reach about 4.9GHz automatically, but I just want that feature to activate without me having to overclock. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 
We mentioned that if your CPU has limited settings in the BIOS, it might be in the AI tweaker area, though I’m not sure of the exact position. With a Z390 board and a K-SKU processor, you could also try a very slight overclock to boost performance slightly.
The person responsible was indeed increasing both values to 4095, and now I’m receiving a 4900 boost. Thanks!
These Intel processors operate with minimal energy consumption, so maximizing both turbo and power caps helps prevent performance drops.
