2.60ghz turbo boost 3.10ghz, why is it showing 2.8ghz all the time

Shouldn't the core speed be reading 3.10ghz, but its always showing 2.8ghz and not moving even at full load. I thought something is wrong with my CPU and starting to wondering is it the L power version instead of the normal version, but i seen videos of other users with the same cpu and its showing 2.8ghz all the time as well

Iirc, the 3.10 is with a single core (load), more cores (loaded), lower boost. I might be wrong.

throttling
it needs better cooling and power delivery to hold higher turbo for longer periods of time

and it depends on the core loads and max turbo per core usage

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/xeon_e5/e5-2630_v4

Turbo Frequency
3,100 MHz (1 core),
3,100 MHz (2 cores),
2,900 MHz (3 cores),
2,800 MHz (4 cores),
2,700 MHz (5 cores),
2,600 MHz (6 cores),
2,500 MHz (7 cores),
2,400 MHz (8 cores),
2,400 MHz (9 cores),
2,400 MHz (10 cores)

I think u need to clock it to get top speed across all cores my i9-9900k only runs at 4.7 when it is supposed to boost to 5

I have E5-2630 v2. I don't recall seeing this issue when i was using my Xeon 5670 LGA 1336 on my Dell CPU. Things are working fine though, was just curious.

How do you clock it up?

Maximum turbo frequency
3333 MHz (1 or 2 cores)
3200 MHz (3 or more cores)

you can disable turbo in bios, and raise the cpu multi
watch temps, it may also be vrm throttling if the board cant hold voltage to it

Just disable Turbo and set it to clock at 5.0

Guys, dumb question, but how do you set your core clock or clock higher?
but on another note, games run perfectly fine, no issues despite it being stuck at 2.8ghz+.

Its all good, I'm upgrading to a new cpu next month, i will see how it goes. But it could be a mb limition with the Z420. Its cool though, again everything is working smooth. But thanks for info.

Most Xeon can't OC anyways.
Go into the bios and reset to defaults for starters and swe how that does. Try Windie power profile on Balanced instead of High Performance.

i9-10 series use "Xeon" architecture, as you'll see from any dxdiag report, and they overclock just fine.

If you really want more in depth, Google your motherboard model name and add in depth review or overclock guide after it. If you can't find such goos tips for your exact board, surely there is much more info for boards very similar to that model, which should have very similar uefi bios and settings options.
