Excessive heat from continuous turbo increase

Your Lenovo Ideapad L340 is running smoothly at lower clock speeds, but after installing the SSD and doing a clean Windows 10 setup, the CPU is now constantly in turbo boost at 4.1 GHz, causing high temperatures. This change likely affected thermal management. Check if the new SSD or system changes impacted cooling performance or if there’s an issue with the BIOS/UEFI settings.

The readings meet the requirements. There are no concerns from the temperatures.

Switch your power setting to "Optimized performance." This will consistently enhance CPU efficiency without constant overclocking.

For a laptop it wouldn't feel pleasant to use it so warmly...

However, it used to operate much more efficiently and now the gap is significant. Additionally, the performance remains unchanged.

Use utilities such as Windows Power Management's maximum clock and xtU to control power consumption.

I attempted it even in power-saving mode, but it just falls from 4.1 and stays between 3.5 and 3.9.

I attempted to adjust under voltage but noticed the voltage offset area is grayed out in both XTU and throttle stop.

Consider reducing the maximum turbo output in the XTU.

considered turning off the turbo boost without any change in mind
