hi i recently acquired 9500x idle speed never went below 4.0 but since i flashed my motherboard to the latest firmware it now sits around 1.6 to 1.7 is this normal for 9500x
 
1.6ghz at idle doesn't seem right and not heard of anyone having such low idle speed.
i know google searching most the night with no real answers or any one else having this problem could be the new bios firmware not sure if i can flash it back to the old firmware was working great till then i run cinebench multi core test scales up to 4.2 at 76oc when i try single stays at 1.7 at 38oc :confused:

thanks for all your suggestion but after hours of googling and going thro every bios setting under the sun i finaly found the problem was nothing to do with my bios setting i recently had a windows 10 update and not realizing it changed my power balance to power saver and drops the cpu down to 1.7 and boost's to 4.2 when in use but on the plus side got to learn a little bit more about overclocking and pbo2 :)
