Can't Get A-10 7850K To Reach 3.7GHZ Or Anywhere Close

I have an AMD A-10 7850K I'm using as a processor with the APU function disabled in favor of an actual graphics card.

I've now noticed my CPU clock speeds won't go above 2.33 GHz despite the chip supposed to be defaulting at 3.70GHz. I've run stress tests and tried CPU cryptocurrency mining and neither will bring my clock speed up or Task Manager utilization to 100%.

I've included a screenshot while putting the CPU under load if anyone could please help me get the most out of this already underpowered chip that would be incredible.

Using the same methods I tested another computer and was able to get max clock speed and core utilization. Furthermore, when the A-10 goes under load it seems to go down in clock speed despite having thermal margins of around 7 degrees celsius.

Also worth noting is that Windows Task Manager utilization never goes past 50% even when core usage is supposedly at 100% according to Overdrive and CPU-Z

My multiplier is set to 37x according to Overdrive :(

I disabled my bios equivilant of Cool'n'Quiet and set Minimum Performance to 99% in windows and still haven't seen 3.0 GHZ.

Speeds throttle down to 1.6GHZ under load even with thermal headroom

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
