Performance issues persist despite maximum settings.
Performance issues persist despite maximum settings.
your i5 4570 runs at 3.2ghz base with boost up to 3.6ghz, but it now caps around 3.39ghz even at full load. at 65°C it used to fully utilize boost, now it doesn’t. the issue seems linked to temperature or thermal throttling, possibly affecting core or cache voltages without changes in power settings or external gpu usage.
I believe the maximum is around 3.4 for all cores turbo. 3.6 might only occur on a single core in certain tasks. It won’t appear at 100% CPU usage.
It's typical for thermals to be involved or the system may not handle faster speeds automatically.
