Question about CPU instability (Need assistance!)
I recently boosted my CPU speed to 4600mhz and noticed big changes in performance when the system usage is high. At about 70-90% load, it drops sharply to around 3.15. Even when switching to high-performance settings or changing battery mode, it tends to average near 3.75.
It's crucial to recognize that your CPU comes with a base clock speed, which is the manufacturer's assurance when minimum cooling conditions are satisfied. Exceeding this speed brings about the so-called turbo speed, which isn't always reliable and may vary from the advertised maximum. Additionally, increasing the number of cores tends to reduce the turbo speed due to power and thermal constraints, as the CPU can't operate all cores at peak turbo boost.
