Hi - I've got a really odd problem with my new setup and im hoping you guys can help me out.
I thought I knew plenty about PC hardware but this is baffling me. I've just upgraded from my ageing core2duo to a 4770k running in a Gigabyte GA-z87x-oc. For some reason the chip seems to be stuck at 800Mhz?? Ive tried default Bios settings as well as upping various settings but nothing seems to make a difference. It's as though the turbo isn't kicking in or something even when running a game or Prime95 - could it be a faulty part?
Here's what CPU-Z has to say
Windows 8's task manger shows it at 20% when prime95 is running but Im guessing it just calculates it against the expected speed.
Does anyone have any ideas? My new rig is slower than my old one!
