CPU reduces its clock speed without overheating issues.
Hi, I see your PC has an Intel i7 9850H and an RTX 2080 with 16GB of 2666MHz memory. When you play games, the CPU clock drops to 3.0 GHz instead of the expected 3.4 GHz. It runs at around 84°C, which is close to the safe temperature range. You mentioned having about 10°C headroom and no dust, viruses, or weird apps—just occasional random frame drops. I checked with MSDI after a burn-in test, and the CPU Z and stress tests showed nothing unusual. Please let me know if you need more help. Thanks!
There are various turbo settings influenced by several elements like temperature, core count, power levels, and duration at high speeds. These factors determine the CPU's clock speed. Your processor isn't throttling due to low temperatures; instead, it's limited by temperature or core-level adjustments (more active cores mean lower frequency). The best approach is keeping the CPU cooler, which allows it to sustain higher clock speeds for extended periods. The 84C model is likely not optimized for the higher speeds you're aiming for.
Which power setting is active? Is there a restriction on power usage?
