    Overqualified CPU for Windows 11? IntelR CoreTM i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz


    My Desktop meets all requirements EXCEPT for the Intel CPU = IntelR CoreTM i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz. The CPU seems more than required and yet is not supported. WHY? Will it be supported in the future??

    CPU frequency locks at 0.78 GHz

    Hello,

    My CPU get locks at 0.78 GHz and not going up or down. In the same time when CPU is locked at 0.78 GHz,

    laptops fans runs fast (noisy) but the coming air is not even hot.

    I have found a tool named Intel(R) Extreme tuning utility to use it as monitor of "what's going on with my system",

    i'm not overclocking or changing something in CPU.

    Tuning utility shows value of "Thermal Throttling" as 100% i think this is the reason why CPU stays at 0.78 GHz, it get down step because of this thermal throttling.

    CPU package and core temperature is normal around 40c .

    All this information is visible into this picture:

    With random combination of reboots, shutdown unplug power and plug power CPU gets frequency stepping again

    Thermal Throttling is becoming zero and fans stop... and everything goes normal.

    Can someone explain what is connection between Windows (10) OS and CPU freq. stepping.

    I think there is some connection because of available options in power plan settings, there is options Processor power management

    that can control CPU min and max freq. state, but i'm not pretty sure is it related to "Thermal Throttling".

    whooo i gained performance obviously not b/c of the patch but it doesnt look like it has any impact on performance???

    High CPU usage Windows 10 Pro x64 / Intel® Core™ i7-4702MQ CPU @ 2.20 GHz (8 CPUs)

    Hi Microsoft Techs and Experts,

    After upgrading to Windows 10 Pro x64 (From Windows 8.1 x64) my CPU cooler runs much more than before.

    Even though the PC is idle and on the Desktop only (Without any programs open) the cooler fan runs constantly, perhaps it is not running constantly on maximum but it runs constantly and the noise level is much higher than before with Windows 8.1

    Is anybody facing the same issue?

    As already mentioned in the subject my CPU is a Intel® Core™ i7-4702MQ CPU @ 2.20 GHz (8 CPUs)

    Since upgrading to Windows 10 my PC has also dropped out completely all of a sudden a couple of times.

    I am pretty sure this is also related to the CPU cooler or rather CPU usage issue.

    If any further info is required please let me know.

    Any help on this matter would highly be appreciated.

    Thanks a lot.
