System speed improvement feature fails during gameplay.
System speed improvement feature fails during gameplay.
I encountered an issue with my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptop while trying to reduce its temperature. I opened the registry editor to enable Processor performance boost mode in Power Options, so I could switch it off when needed. During stress tests using CPU-Z, my Ryzen 5 5600H clock speed stayed below 3265 MHz, which was the target. However, when playing games, the MSI afterburner reported a clock speed of 4.1 GHz and didn’t cap it, causing temperatures to rise to around 90°C. While this is typical for laptops, most video reviews mention similar specs and claim their clocks never exceeded 3265 MHz. Can someone help explain why this happens?
