Yep.

Yep.

If you have a bootable PE solution you can make the same test in it, if you can't. follow the clean installation processes suggested by Steve108 in post #4

Beyond that I would return promptly the offending device...

Where did 2700 MHz in the second screenshot come from then?

Those werent my screenshots...

MB can change the CPU clock so it runs on a lower frequency when not in use.
There are two places that you can set the minimum and maximum CPU frequency: BIOS and power settings plan.
I would first see the power settings plan.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings - Change advanced power settings - Processor power management.

Download and extract OpenHardwareMonitor to a folder.
It will show the min and Max CPU clock

Hi-see attached:



Everything looks a bit low here.

Is the Power supposed to be higher?

Did you check BIOS and Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings - Change advanced power settings - Processor power management.?

Appears to say the same thing as yours:

And what about BIOS settings?

Is Bios up to date?
If you don't know what to look for, reset Bios to defaults.
