Just had a new pc from overclockers and when I play a game all my cpu cores go to 4222mhz! When on the desktop the p-cores are at 5327 and e-cores are at 4222mhz. Is this normal? Wondering why the p-cores drop to 4222mhz while gaming?
 
msi afterburner. if i play xenia emulator the p-cores stay at 5.3ghz and the e-cores at 4.2 but not when running say cyberpunk! thanks for the quick reply btw

Corsair vengeance 44800c36 5600 memory x 2, 4090 gpu and a 13700kf cpu are my specs. For what it's worth I'm happy with the performance I get, just curious if I'm leaving something on the table! Again thank you for your help and keep the suggestions coming

All sensors say no. It's really strange in that if I'm in full screen in a game the p-cores immediately drop to 4222mhz! However if i press the windows key and still continue to play a game, the cores jump bk upto 5327
 
Just a quick update, my p-cores are definitely dropping to 4222mhz as soon as i load any game! CPUID reads all cores @4189mhz and the multipliers @42.00. As soon as i go bk to the desktop all the cores including the e-cores are @5300mhz ish and all @ 54.00 multiplier. My pl1 and pl2 are set to watercooled.
 
Thought about it then chickened out tbh as i didnt feel confident about doing it! Watched a couple of videos of people who's bios version was older than mine but all cores were running where they should be. That also put me off updating it. The current Bios its using is from dec last yr i think. My system was built by overclockers

I was thinking it was just afterburner that was reporting wrong but CPUID also reports the cores going down to 4.2ghz! Temps are all fine too and like i said before it was built by overclockers so i assume they have set everything up correctly.
