I uninstalled it and removed all registry entries pertaining to it plus ran ccleaner and the problem persists. I was running asus aisuite3 and also messed around with it just before I noticed this issue. What would make task manager suddenly start reporting the incorrect speeds? I've scoured the registry looking for speed settings and I cannot find them to check the data.

This time on a fresh install of windows 10 pro 圆4 the motherboard has retained the correct settings which I verified in bios plus CPU-Z also reports the same speeds.

On the old build of windows this issue occurred but at that time it also locked my motherboard's bios down to the same speed forcing me to flash it to correct the problem. Now I was at stock when this first started this time and OC'd for the very first time just to see if it would make a difference in the maximum reported speed and there was no change. I also ran an instance of CPU-Z to verify that the pc is indeed operating at the desired overclock of 4.6ghz. Right after I installed it the other day task manager reported a maximum speed of 4ghz just like its supposed to. It has started incorrectly reporting my 4790k as having a maximum clock speed of only. I have an asus maximus vii hero motherboard bios 3201 and I'm having an issue with a fresh install of windows 10 pro creators edition 圆4.

Why does speccy report higher temps
