Processing power is significantly lacking.

Hey there, the bench is displaying a base frequency of 3.6GHz, but Turbo isn’t exceeding 1GHz—this suggests it’s not reaching its full potential, especially near the 13th percentile. Got any ideas on what might be causing this?

thermal throttling?

lack of CPU support in the BIOS, bent pins in the socket, improper cooler installation, and more. Investigate them in that sequence.

Do you have an NZXT case or similar setup that might affect your gaming experience? Also review the specs to confirm the CPU isn't being overclocked or underclocked.

Thanks a lot! It turned out the issue was that the heatsink wasn't properly connecting to the CPU and thermal paste. Though it was odd since I assumed alignments were typical. This is my first time on this site, and it's really impressive how quickly help comes through! Thanks! 😊

Successfully updated to CPUs, motherboards, and memory. Your results seem slightly off—maximum turbo speed is around 3.4GHz with a base clock of 3.2GHz.
