Any reason why my PL1 limit and PL2 limits are at 4090w at optimized defaults?
Any reason why my PL1 limit and PL2 limits are at 4090w at optimized defaults?
On a Z390 Aorus Ultra paired with a 9700k, it operates efficiently drawing about 110 watts in Cinebench without ever reaching its rated 95W TDP. The PL1 and PL2 limits are set at 4090W, not 95W. I’m using the default optimized settings from the motherboard BIOS.
This happens because of the K chip, which prevents the system from slowing down unnecessarily once the random time limit is reached.
