The issue started about a week or two ago. Previously, my CPU ran at 3.88 GHz during games, but the turbo boost never reached that speed. After reinstalling Windows 2004, I followed all previous settings and tuning programs, but clock speeds changed significantly. Now, during gameplay, turbo boost stays around 3.5–3.6 GHz, then drops to 3.2 GHz for several minutes, causing unstable FPS. What could be causing this? I've tried many solutions without success. Did the latest Windows version affect turbo boost performance? Any advice would be appreciated.

Check your temperatures to see if they’re indicating overheating.

temps ont toujours été difficiles mais le processeur a maintenu une fréquence de 3,88 GHz la plupart des fois quand même. quelque chose s'est produit et le turbo boost ne s'éteint pas complètement, sa fréquence de base est de 2,3 GHz mais les horloges restent autour de 3,2 GHz, donc le turbo boost fonctionne mais pas aussi bien qu'avant.

Your turbo boost power boundaries are configured to manage Intel Turbo Boost functionality and its intensity. These settings determine if your CPU can activate boost and how much it will provide. Setting the long-term boost cap too conservatively may prevent your processor from reaching peak performance, especially with 6-core mobile CPUs—though this rarely affects 4-core models. Use HWiNFO to monitor temperature and thermal throttling or power restrictions. The software should also indicate whether Speed Shift Technology is engaged; a green SST symbol suggests it’s active. The EPP variable governs CPU speed, and recent Windows updates might alter its behavior. Before adjusting further, verify that power limits aren’t restricting performance.

HWiNFO highlights SST in green to activate Speed Shift Technology. Windows 10 2004 could have altered the Speed Shift EPP setting that regulates CPU performance. Launch the HWiNFO Sensors interface and verify any power caps or thermal throttling during or after gaming sessions.
