Processor runs continuously at enhanced performance settings.
Processor runs continuously at enhanced performance settings.
Your system runs at a higher clock speed than intended, which may affect performance and cooling needs. Checking power settings helped confirm balanced operation, but the CPU still exceeds the desired 3.7 GHz. Overheating issues could be linked to cooling solutions rather than core speed alone. It’s normal for some variation, but ensure fans are functioning properly.
Are you actually idle, so 0 programs open literally doing nothing, or is there stuff running? If not I don't think it is strange for it to boost. It boosting isn't really something to worry about. It overheating is. What do you mean with overheating? Is it thermal throttling or even causing hard shutdowns?
