4900mhz (power saving mode: auto, prime95 for 30 minutes)
Performance was solid during PUBG, with readings at 4900mhz and stable input lag. During CSGO warmup, I observed only 150fps and significant mouse input delay. The system remained under 2500mhz in CSGO and even lower in Dota2. Realizing an issue arose, I adjusted the BIOS power-saving setting to Performance over Auto, modifying around seven parameters without manual changes. This resolved the performance issues, allowing FPS above 400. However, changing this setting caused PUBG crashes at my current settings. I prefer keeping full performance mode active for sustained use, aiming for under 10% load during long work sessions so temperatures and strain stay low, and Chrome launches without spiking to 4900mhz.
Why do games like CSGO/Dota2 not trigger full CPU usage when Power Saving Mode is set to Auto in BIOS? I’m also running an XMP profile, which affects all components, not just RAM.
It looks like your CPU is experiencing thermal throttling. Have you verified the temperatures during high-load conditions?
it looks like your CPU is throttling due to thermal issues. Have you verified the temperatures while under load? I don’t think it’s the case, because it should handle PUBG at that frequency. However, my readings are consistently between 65-70°C during gaming, with occasional spikes into the mid-70s and rare instances reaching 82°C or less.
