I completed several stress tests but consistently received only 3.7GHz. My cooler is a 360W AIO. Please help.

The maximum temperatures depend on your components and cooling setup. At 3.7GHz, high-end CPUs can reach around 100°C to 120°C under heavy load, while proper cooling helps keep things lower.

The motherboard offers various configurations for enhanced performance tuning. When operating in eco mode, it may restrict the clock speed to a level below its maximum.

Another viable option too.

I increased the multiplier in BIOS, but 4.6GHz still causes major slowdowns. Try resetting BIOS and using just the CPU multiplier instead.

Don't rely on the multiplier alone to lock frequency unless you're intentionally overclocking and understand the adjustments involved. I don’t know your motherboard model, and setting the multiplier correctly might not enable all required settings for optimal performance. It could show a speed figure but actually operate at 1.5GHz due to insufficient voltage and defaulting to safe mode.

It's okay now, it was because I used my mouse in the USB hub which felt slow, then I connected it to the motherboard and it worked fine.

Which motherboard are you running? A low-quality board without VRM cooling might cause the VRMs to overheat.

Thank you for bringing this to attention. I typically don’t verify signatures since some forum members don’t keep their updates aligned with the hardware they’re using, leading to confusion about newer components.
