Performing a reset might fix the issue if you really need to reinstall, though it doesn’t seem to impact an overclock. When you click restart, hold the shift key to enter the recovery mode and follow the menus until you reach the refresh option—this clears everything to the default settings while keeping your activation status. Based on what I mentioned earlier, it appears your problem isn’t tied to the Windows installation itself. If you’re using software like ASUS 5-way Optimization, it could reset your overclock in the operating system, which is likely the cause. You might try adjusting the overclock settings within the software or removing the program from your system. Another possibility is that you have an Intel CPU that automatically lowers performance when idle to save power. Consider using a stress test or running a demanding game to check the current overclock level, or use CPU-Z to view both the target settings and actual performance. I’m not sure about AMD CPUs, but I know my Intel i7 runs at 1.2 GHz without work and jumps up to 4.5 GHz during stress tests or gaming. Let me know if you’d like more details or further assistance.
I verified it on the CPU and noticed it's maintaining roughly 800 MHz even while playing games.
I checked your pcpartpicker on your profile—looks like a great build! Just like mine. Same CPU, so please verify your settings with CPU-Z. Make sure your BIOS is set correctly if anything seems off. Thermals might need a clean if you're using an air cooler. If things get hot, Intel's variable clock tech will adjust to prevent damage.
Verify your BIOS settings. CPU-Z should remain stable while playing because it monitors system configurations.
the issue isn't a problem either—my cpu has never reached above 53 c with my noctua, and I haven’t done any overclocking. I haven’t altered anything in my motherboard bios, and I’m not sure how to resolve it through the bios. Sadly, I even reset the settings using f6.
