Hey, so I'm not the most tech savviest person ever, in fact putting in this cpu was the first time I've ever done it. But I'm having some trouble I believe. The base clock speed for the 2700 is 3.2ghz stock but turbos to 4.1. I do know that the turbo speed isn't permanent on every core, but gaming I wasn't able to achieve anything past 3.5ghz (MSI afterburner/HWMonitor) while playing Fallout 4 on ultra/high settings. I'm currently CPU stress testing with Aida64 extreme but it's only reached a max speed of 3.4. I've left all the settings at stock. I hope I just simple did something incorrectly and didn't get a faulty chip.
Download HWiNFO64, launch it in sensors-only mode, execute an AIDA stress test for a few minutes, then capture a screenshot of the sensor data.
@Krawly Yes, please share the full screen images. I wasn't expecting such a high number of duplicate entries per core.
Don't stress about it! Your data shows no signs of overheating the CPU, so thermal throttling shouldn't occur. Your max temperature reading is 66.8°C, which is within normal limits. Regarding power limits, 63A and 64W seem reasonable. If your motherboard is an MSI B350M BAZOOKA, it supports a 4-phase power design—good for this CPU but may not be ideal for overclocking. It looks like the issue might stem from BIOS settings. I recommend restarting your computer, entering BIOS, and sharing screenshots of your menus here. While you can use a phone to post pictures, please confirm if that's acceptable.
