Clock speeds of the CPU vary by model and configuration.
Clock speeds of the CPU vary by model and configuration.
The CPU operates at higher speeds during idle and boost while gaming, then lowers to its base clock for efficiency. Power consumption varies with workload—boost draws more in games, idle uses less. This behavior is normal for Ryzen 7 3750H. Adjusting power settings or monitoring usage can help manage performance and energy use.
The Ryzen boost algorithm runs at a fast idle speed to keep performance smooth while still responding quickly to your actions. When under heavy use—like playing a game—it reduces its activity to maintain thermal and power limits. This isn't a flaw; it's built-in design. To get higher boosting in games, you can raise your thermal and power allowances, draw more wall power, disable CPU power caps via software (though this may vary by device), and ensure proper cooling with a fan or better thermal paste. Keep in mind that results may differ based on the specific laptop model.
It didn't function the way it did previously, but now it maintains a steady 100 degrees. I installed RyzenController to cap temperatures at 90 degrees, and the clock speeds seem to be stable.
