CPU not boosting in Gaming VM

[Superdean56]

Hello everyone,

 

I recently noticed that I am not getting the frame-rate I should be getting while running my gaming VM. Then I started looking into what frequency/clock speeds my CPU is running at and it is not boosting

 

Setup:

  - core i9-9900k

  - asus prime z390-a motherboard

  - 32gb DDR4 Ram. (20gb passthrough to VM)

  - RTX 3080 (passthrough to VM)

  - Quadro p600 (for plex)

  - 1TB NVME (passthrough to VM)

  - 512gb SSD Cache

  - 32TB HDD storage

 

I am running Unraid 6.9

 

I have 14 out of 16 cores pinned to the VM while running.

I have tips and tweaks installed and CPU set to performance.

 

I have ran the script "# grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo"  and the maximum frequency it went up to was 3.8ghz, even when i prime95 the vm

and i checked the governor and its set to 5ghz

 

So what can I do to boost my CPU higher? Why isn't my cores boosting up to 5ghz?

My cpu is definitely bottlenecking my RTX 3080
