First off I don't know if this is the right subreddit but I tried asking other subreddits and haven't gotten answers and I don't know better so forgive me please. So I was stress testing (prime95) my computer when I realized my cpu temps weren't hitting over 60°C but my clockspeeds were dropping from 4.6 GHz to 3.7 -3.6 GHz. I have a Ryzen 7 5700x and a Wraith Prism cooler. I also know that this particular cpu isn't very power hungry and could be the cause to low temps but why are my clockspeeds dropping so much. And when they drop they don't rise back up. I have never touched bios or tried to overclock it or nothing. What could be the cause of this? Could my cooler be the problem or what? Is this thermal throttling? Please help 🙁
Thank you in advance!
