your cpu is stuck at 800Mhz and 80C during startup. i've tried resetting bios, updating bios, clearing cmos, installing windows, and using throttlestop. even after disabling the bd prochot, it still stays at 80C with unstable speeds up to 90-100C. my new cooler is working perfectly. my brother's 10700k is running smoothly at 30-55C during games. i've tested the 10900k on his motherboard and it worked fine too. someone mentioned this issue before, but no one knows why it locks at 800Mhz. what causes this problem? how can i fix it without using any software like throttlestop?

Perform CPU benchmark tests and compare results with other 10900K models to verify that the CPU performance isn't due to software or sensor issues.

When your machine is not using much power on the desktop, share a photo of ThrottleStop with the Limit Reasons window visible. You can click once on the monitoring table so ThrottleStop displays all cores. My similar 10850K indicates all cores are idle (low C0%) and temperatures remain low. When BD PROCHOT turns red in Limit Reasons, it generally signals an external sensor on the motherboard is sending a throttling signal to the CPU. This outside temperature sensor is typically located on the motherboard, suggesting a motherboard issue. Since you've installed the same CPU on two different boards, it's likely a faulty CPU. Verify the CPU socket carefully—ensure no pins are bent or damaged. Intel’s testing tools don’t flag BD PROCHOT throttling issues, and their software isn’t helpful here. I’ve heard other users contact Intel support before, but the experts don’t recognize this problem. Only ThrottleStop reliably detects this type of throttling. This detail isn’t covered in Intel’s manual, so most technicians lack insight into BD PROCHOT behavior.
