i5-9600K + Gigabyte B360M Gaming HD : No Turbo Boost

[dsanghan]

I added the PluginType flag to my config.plist and I see the correct plugin loaded in IOReg but when I run CPU stress tests, Intel Power Gadget shows that while it is correctly requesting (Req) 4.6Ghz, the Max never goes beyond 3.7Ghz (see screenshot). Also strange is that at full load, the temperature never rises above 40C. Any help would be appreciated!

Just installed Ubuntu and ran stress tests on the same machine, and the CPU correctly ramped up to 4.6Ghz, so it would seem it is not a BIOS issue.

For reference, Geekbench 4 on macOS gives ~4700 SC & ~18000 MC, while on Ubuntu I get ~6000 SC & ~22000 MC.
