Hello i have recently purchased a gaming pc with an intel i9-13900kf and for some reason when im not in a game my cpu clocks are around 5.3ghz but when im in game they go down to around 4.9ghz not even 5ghz, ive tried default bios settings and overclocked bios settings and all sorts of different combinations to try fix this but im not getting anywhere, my temperatures seem To be fine aswel so im really not sure what i need to do to fix this, this cpu is rated at 5.8ghz max boost clock, i know its not always meant to go that high but im guessing it should atleast be above 5ghz and its not even reaching that, if someone could help and give me some things to try i would massively appreciate it, thanks.
