You're experiencing some unusual behavior with your Intel Pentium Silver N5030 CPU. When using turbo boost, the voltage drops during gaming, causing slower performance, while at base speed it runs better and with more stable voltage. This could be due to thermal throttling or power management settings affecting the chip under load. For improvement, consider checking your cooling system, adjusting BIOS settings, or ensuring proper airflow around the laptop.

I’d share a screenshot for my FPS, though I think it might be a bit confusing.

Your CPU might be experiencing thermal throttling, which accounts for this issue. Often it results from incorrect thermal paste placement or the paste degrading over time.

the pentium silvers seem unusual. they could relate to heat management or power distribution (more power needed from the integrated graphics). i own a board with a pentium j5005 and another with a j5040. it turns out cpu speed looks better when a budget gpu is placed in one of the pcie slots, even if it wasn’t designed for that. getting windows to recognize a pcie gpu as the main device is quite challenging because the bios wasn’t built for it, but it worked fine during my testing.

the cpu isn't throttling because it can handle temperatures up to 105C and it may be receiving sufficient power. additionally, i have a laptop cooler for it; previously it would shut down when it reached around 85C, but now it consistently stays below 70C.

It seems the power usage might be related to performance, but I'm not sure. Sometimes the draw drops to around 5W based on game details or it fluctuates due to PL1 throttling.
