I have a Dell laptop equipped with an Intel i5 1135G7 and 16GB of RAM. The typical processor can reach up to 4.20GHz, but my machine consistently caps at 4.00GHz even when using the ultra performance plan in Dell. I usually enable throttle stop to avoid significant slowdowns, but today something unexpected happened—my CPU suddenly spiked to 4.20GHz. What just went wrong?
Yes, running Rocket League keeps the CPU around 3.8-4.2ghz for up to half an hour before it slows down due to heat. When Chrome is active, it stabilizes at 4.05-4.1ghz while idle.
Well if it's not power throttling, I'm okay with it instead of a system that shuts down under load. Just enjoy the extra speed and consider creating a different profile to conserve battery life.
In graphics intensive games, yes it does. In games like rocket league (cpu at 95% gpu at 45%) it holds it's own for 30 mins+ The throttling happened before anyways I can't see a difference in any games using MSI afterburner as of how long it takes to throttle and how badly it throttles. The lowest it throttles in those 30 mins in rocket league is 3.75ghz. In more evenly intensive games it'll throttling to a minimum of 2.8ghz after 15 mins or so. Gpu intensive games are about the same as evenly spread ones.
