CPU reduces speed from 100 to 0 and then back up
Hello! You've just set up Windows 10 (tiny10) and followed all the setup steps. However, your performance issues during gaming—where CPU usage spikes to 100% and then drops back down—sound frustrating. You mentioned trying similar configurations on Fedora and Windows 11, which didn’t replicate the problem. Your laptop is an Acer Aspire 7 with an Intel R5 5500U, RTX 3050 Ti, and DDR4 3200MHz RAM. You’re referring to a CPU-Z report for deeper analysis. It looks like you’ve noticed something unusual in your experience. What would you like to adjust or investigate next?
That's quite intense! Are your system performance problems linked to heat buildup? Which cooling solution are you using?
It seems it's a laptop, likely with small fans and copper components. I think the thermal paste needs replacing after about 1.5 years of use.
I don't have that information. Can you provide the brand or model number?
Sorry for the delayed reply, I needed to rest. The device is an Acer Aspire 7, model A715-42G.
There are some reports of overheating, though most issues seem minor. It could be dust buildup—maybe a quick cleaning would help.
