CPU remains inactive at a temperature of 75 degrees.
hey, I have an i7 7700 and my computer is behaving weirdly. I opened NZXT Cam and I see my CPU is running at 4000mhz on 5% load, which would be fine for me, unless its makes the cpu fan spin at 2000 rpm and the temperature go to around 75 degrees. there is no reason it has to run at 4000mhz on low loads. its goes to 4000 then back to 1900 and 4000 and 1900 and so on... Is there any way I can make the cpu work on low frequency when idle or low use and go to high frequency when on heavy load? thanks in advance
Consider reapplying the thermal paste if you're confident in handling the process. You can remove and put it back yourself since you know how.
Yes, I agree. I’d also remove any dust from the cooler fins. I thought you were using an AIO, but it wasn’t suggested to rely on monitoring tools without a NZXT AIO. For better tracking, use HWInfo to check your system temperatures.
As skiiwee29 noted, consider reapplying thermal paste and cleaning the fans. The NZXT cam doesn't seem very precise when compared to other options I've tried.
