i7-8700K recognised as "3.7GHz unknown" on new build

[student1242]

Hey Folks,

Since my old Hackintosh video editing rig finally became unsupported by adobe (i7-3770K unsupported by h.264 encoder), i finally decided to build a new editing rig.
I chose the Asus z370-a prime, the i7-8700K and a gtx1060 as a nice balance between performance and budget.

Installation seemed to go super smooth, Nvidia web driver installation was a bit of a hassle but i got it up and running.
CPU also seems to be working nice, but is not being recognised as what it is. This does seem to be a bit of a cosmetic problem, but adobe premiere/media encoder can't use hardware acceleration without a supported CPU.

So i NEED to have the CPU model be recognised correctly, or this new build is useless for me!
pls help <3

Having the same problem with this. Using the native graphic on i7-8700 k. Get boxes where motion graphics happen. I don't think the system is seeing all cores.

ANy updates on your situation?

it s normal for i7-8600k to see 3.7GHz unknown CPU in system profiler. I think the problem in GPU. Take a look at this method to enable iGPU (aka Intel Quick Sync) compute power. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/sleeping-problems-asus-prime-z370-a.252988/#post-1776981

Thanks for the link. For now I'm doing ok. The UI glitches have stopped, video playback from browsers like Chrome are not good. Videos from Safari work fine.
