Stumped to what what was going on with my 5950X build was doing this morning. Woke it from sleep and everything was crawling. Looked at task manager and nothing was really running, but when I flipped to the CPU tab, it was running at 500MHz. Spent the next hour updating the BIOS, drivers, restarting, clearing CMOS, reseting power plans. From the screenshot below, it was reported to be sucking a ton of power but the clocks were low. Put it back to sleep and walked away for 5 hours. Turned it back on and everything appears to be normal. Gremlins or something more obvious?
