Hello!
I'm not really sure if this is an issue, but the Intel i5-8400 I recently purchased will not run at base clock speed, in the BIOS or in Windows. It seems like it's stuck at max Turbo frequency. Base speed is supposed to be 2.8 GHz.
I disabled multi-core enhancement in the BIOS, and it made no difference. I also tried setting it to Auto.
I disabled the XMP profile setting, to no avail. I read that some boards will increase the voltage on the processor when increasing the RAM speed. Not sure if that's true, but it didn't work anyways.
I'm not having system instability, or any odd issues. Everything honestly is running incredibly well.
Maybe a BIOS update would fix this? The motherboard is the Gigabyte Z370P D3.
