AN515-42 cpu locked at 2.0Ghz

1)Your cpu not running in 3.6ghz while gaming?
2)When you are playing game then minimize your game, open nitrosense check temperature and tell me

1) It's locked at the base clock speed, which is 2.0 GHz.
2) I've bench marked this before on CPU intensive games like Team Fortress 2 and Garry's mod. They don't require a not too powerful GPU and while using RivaTunner and Msi afterburner to benchmark, while checking, it's locked to 2 GHz, never goes up nor down in game. The temperatures are usually 60' c to 70 c while just doing regular browsing and reach up to 70 to at least 91 c while playing a match, the thing is though, while in the menu, i can see it spike up to 2.6 Ghz but in game as i said, it's at a 2.0 GHz lock. It stays like that in-game.


( Note that i use a cooling pad along side with two Moniters that output 1650p while the laptop's screen is down. One monitor connected via HDMI on the laptop, and the other one connected via HDMI on my USB Hub. )

Set high performance powerPlan in nitrosense set in both AC and Battery 
After doing above steps play your game and check ghz in task manager 

It's was set to those preferences during benchmark and during regular use before the benchmark.

Right click on battery icon in taskbar→power option→then click on change plan settings (The right side of the high performance powerplan)→change advanced settings→expand processor power management
Now, expand minimum processor state and set 100% on plugged in 
Again, expand maximum processor state and set 100% on plugged in 

Now apply→ok→play your game

I actually did this before you sent this, i had better results when the Maximum processor state was set to 0% ( unlimited ) because it spiked up to 2600Mhz but only in the menu before setting it to 100%, which has it locked at 2 Ghz no matter where i was in the game. I've pretty much tried a lot of solutions up until this point.

You are playing games when plugged in?

Yup, everything's fine and dandy as for set up, pulled in, performance is set to high all the time, cooling pad for hope, clear airflow, system is up to date ( The bios update was the only thing that ever gave me a performance boost up until this point ) i'm just never sure on why my CPU only runs at base clock and never hits the 3.6 GHz boost. Is this is a temperature problem?

Wow turbo is lower than base clock, there is something wrong with the cpu...

Yikes?! That's werid, it hit's over 2000mhz time to time, sometimes when just browsing or doing regular computing.

Both ram sticks are running at different clock speeds, maybe this causes the issue. Remove one module and run the test again.
