    CPU Running High Freq... Constantly??


    Since installing 10, my CPU seems to be running ~130% frequency continuously. This isn't necessarily awful, but it is running my temps ~18°C higher than idle should be (mid 50s vs high 30s). Checked power options, all is as it should be. CPU utilization is around 2% at idle.

    Thoughts?

    :)

    Overclocking for Devices in Hot Climates !

    Original frqz are 250 , 500 , 550 , 600.



    Min 250Mhz

    Max 600Mhz



    Cpu automatically change the freq when it needed.

    Eg - when running a emulator (games) cpu uses 500Mhz, 550Mhz or 600Mhz and when in idle(without so many widgets,) it uses 250Mhz..



    So when you're overclocking to 900Mhz, it means your max cpu freq become 900Mhz!

    Wrong CPU reported?

    The CPU Freq reading is normal as the CPU frequency Steps depending on the load

    If you install Conky, you can see on there the frequency stepping up and down depending on what the handset is doing.

    If you are, go to the feedback section > Categories > Power and Battery > Overheating.

    You will see lot's of complaint's like yours. High CPU usage, fan's running on high and battery draining at a fast rate.

    My lappy is also doing some of this.

    Hopefully M$ will come out with a update for this.

    Not sure what the insider program is. The CPU usage itself isn't high; it's just running high freq all the time. Again, I don't mind so much but it's just another annoyance on top of my laggy boot.

    Hopefully... Hopefully...

    I looked again in the insider program and some said Edge was causing problem's also.
    Are you using Edge at all ?

    CPU Running High Freq... Constantly??

    What CPU and motherboard is that? Turbo was probably enabled after the upgrade ( if it applies to your system).

    Nah. The only native app I've tried is Groove, but I didn't care for it.

    See system specs in signature.
