    (Solved): CPU Won't Throttle Up--Help!

    Hello! I'm not sure anyone is still watching this thread, but my computer is fixed! I bought a new cpu and mainboard and installed them at the same time, and it works perfectly! So I definitely had a hardware issue. The HTC thermal throttling and PROCHOT Ext flags are gone. My theory is that the...

    (Solved): CPU Won't Throttle Up--Help!

    Hey, there! Ok, so here's what has happened so far. My new ram sticks came (btw TomWoB, I did try my previous sticks one at a time, no difference) and installed 1 stick, enabled A-XMP profile 1, but no difference with the cpu speed. Ugh! Also, to start ruling out the Windows question, I finally...

    Hello Everyone! Just an update for where I'm at. After wading through everyone's helpful answers on the multiple forums I posted my story to, it seems there are two theories to trace, hardware and software. Hardware: For starts, I have ordered G.

    (Solved): CPU Won't Throttle Up--Help!

    Thanks! I've heard from several sources that I might have to do a fresh Windows install, so I will probably do it here soon. As far as hardware goes, I have some new guaranteed-to-work-with-this-board ram sticks coming just to rule out the last piece of hardware I haven't tried replacing. I'm...

    (Solved): CPU Won't Throttle Up--Help!

    There is a guy on the MSI forum who is questioning the same thing, he says the Infinity Fabric Clock and Memory Controller Clock numbers in my screenshot are off? I'm wondering if I'm going to have to find a guaranteed compatible RAM somewhere to check it off the list... Also, I just noticed...

    (Solved): CPU Won't Throttle Up--Help!

    I thought it was a faulty mainboard as well, hence why I tried to replace it. However, I never actually accessed Windows with the new board, as it got caught in some sort of boot loop. So I don't know if the new board shows the same thing! All these screenshots are of the first tomahawk.

    (Solved): CPU Won't Throttle Up--Help!

    Hello hwinfo! I am having serious problems with my new build. My cpu (Ryzen 7 3800X) always, ALWAYS runs at or below .55 ghz, no matter what I do. The whole computer is sluggish, and I've never been able to use it to do anything! This has been going on for months! Current build: - CPU: Ryzen 7...
