i5 9600k/TUF Z370-Pro disobeys my desired core ratio
I have a weird glitch/issue, where my motherboard doesn't push the core ratio from the stock 37. I have the latest BIOS, and I was able to OC this CPU in the past (used OC Tuner II though) to 4.8 and 5.0, but due to the temperature concerns I've decided to downclock it and leave it for a while. I've decided to get back to it, and here's the problem:
I have an Asus TUF Z370-Pro motherboard. In AI Tweaker tab it claims that a max. frequency for my CPU should be 5000 MHz, but in reality it seems to be stuck at 3700. I've rebooted it a few times, but it's still 3700, in both BIOS and MSI Afterburner. Should I try to use the OC Tuner again, or look for an issue manually (prefer the second option, just so I'd remember what should I watch for)?

Go in to your bios and turn off turbo boost on my motherboard z390 auros it's called intel(R) turbo boost technology . If it's going with your base speeds that are advertised on the cpu, then you have turbo still enable which will stop your from running past the turbo speeds. Be careful you are not over volted when you turn this off as it will also make the cpu vcore go to whatever power setting you have. Currently turbo is stopping it from running past preset voltages and speeds made for when turbo is enabled.
The ironic part is that enabling Turbo Boost fixed my issue
