Issues with the i5-9400f processor performance
It seems BCLK overclocking influences the CPU and RAM but leaves PCIe lanes unaffected.
There seems to be an issue where NVMe SSDs and BCLK OC don't seem to work well together. I haven't tested it myself.
Some might assume otherwise, but that's incorrect. My laptop features a 4700MQ processor with these details after overclocking. During a single-thread TS benchmark, ThrottleStop shows a multiplier of 35.97. To achieve such a high figure, it must rely on the 1-core 36 multiplier about 97% of the time. The remaining 3% likely uses the 35 multiplier when two cores are engaged. Many popular monitoring tools don't adhere to Intel's recommended settings or exceed them, causing inaccurate tracking. On non-K CPUs, enabling C3, C6 or C7 states is essential for accessing the maximum turbo boosts. The package C options are not mandatory. Forums often suggest turning off these states, which stops non-K CPUs from reaching their peak performance under light load.
I'm not sure about that. I faced the same issue too. However, when I turned off the other boot settings and enabled fast boot in my BIOS, the problem resolved. Now, all cores are running at 4.1 GHz.
