First of all, yes, this is a old laptop I know but that's not the point. I've seen a few videos where people overclock this CPU at stable temps and mine have stable temps too! but with amd overdrive or whatever overclocking program if I try to push the frequency above 1.5 Ghz it just goes down to like 0.5 Ghz or 0.8 although my temps are all the time under 60 degrees at 1.5 Ghz. If can someone help figure what its going on I will really apreciate it, If you need more info to help me ask me

It seems you're facing restrictions due to limited hard power. Trying to exceed these boundaries often triggers safety measures. A laptop with non-cable CPUs requires luck and a motherboard that accommodates the power constraints.

Check your system's performance metrics to confirm power limits. Observe how your laptop handles heat and speed under load. Many users experience higher performance due to differences in hardware or usage patterns, so it’s not always your fault.

It's occurring because attempting to push it causes it to revert to its minimum clocks.

I don’t know the exact reason, but it might be related to your laptop or another device.

Your laptop is functioning properly. The unexpected behavior you're experiencing isn't part of the normal operation.

Other users adjusted the same CPU in their laptops, but yours didn't change.

Since you're using a different laptop or just don't have the right setup, each CPU behaves slightly differently and performance depends on that. I mentioned earlier that some motherboards are more limited than others and offer stronger safeguards against exceeding the power limits. Also, this CPU isn't meant to be overclocked—it's an unintended side effect that was overlooked.
