Hello,
I am running a core i5 8500 in my pc. The advertised speeds of this cpu are 4.1ghz single core boost and 3.9ghz all core boost. However in single core my cpu never climbs higher than 4ghz. Do i have a bad sample?
Is this something normal? Anyone else got this? I paid for a 8500 not a 8400 who single core boost is 4.0ghz. In all core boost i am getting 3.9ghz so that at least is normal.
I have already set my bios to defaults but nothing changes. I tried different program's to monitor the speed. Hwmonitor, cpu-z, core temp. They al report 4ghz max on single core. I tried testing single core with cinebench. Cpu-z even says that the multiplier is between x8 and x41 but he never does x41. Any ideas?
Thanks!
