This behavior isn't typical for a balanced power plan. It suggests instability or overheating issues. The CPU frequently switching between turbo and base speeds indicates thermal stress or improper cooling. Check the HWinfo64 for detailed metrics, but this pattern usually points to a hardware problem rather than normal operation.

It varies based on your setup, but generally it does. Windows often handles many background tasks.

It’s essentially a new Windows setup using MSI afterburner, Discord HWINFO64, and a single Chrome tab.

To prevent your CPU from slowing down under light load, select the Windows high performance power plan. Non-K CPUs adjust their speed dynamically according to active cores. This suggests your CPU is functioning properly.
