I switched to a WD Black NVME and saw no change. Later, checking HWINFO revealed PROCHOT EX is enabled, capping my CPU speed to just a few hundred MHz. Is this due to a faulty motherboard sensor?
The CPU can reach its maximum operating frequency under stress, which varies depending on the processor model and conditions. Typically, high-frequency operation is limited by factors like thermal throttling or power constraints.
When conditions are acceptable, loosening the cooler and reusing the thermal paste may not fix the delay, and adjusting its temperature isn't likely to help.
It suggests a PROCHOT EX module, likely an external component. Checking your motherboard's BIOS version and reviewing the temperature sensor data in HWInfo can help identify the problem.
The motherboard had issues. Looking at it close to the CPU, it was evident some components were absent from the original unit. The new one fits perfectly. Appreciate your assistance.
