  1. Windows 10 - Maximum Processor State isn't working


    It was fine before when I'm still using Windows 7.
    Now it doesn't matter how much I limit my CPU max state, it always at 100% under load.
    Funny thing is, when I raise the minimum CPU state to higher than 5%, it works without issue.

    Perhaps this can help in some way :

    Windows 10 - Maximum Processor State isn't working Untitled.jpg


    OS : Windows 10 Enterprise x64
    CPU : i7-4790 [Non Overclock]

    I usually keep it under 80% max state, I tried lowering to 10% max state, still the same.
    I'm on standard cooler which is the only thing keeping me going. [To avoid overheating]
    Can't afford a better cooler yet. [Might not needed if anyone can solve this issue !]

    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thank You.

    :)

    Maximum processor state?

    Hi all,

    I'm not a techie so please bear with me.

    I just purchased a new laptop. HP with Windows 10 OS. AMD A6-9220 Dual-Core processor and 4 gig of ram. After it's initial setup and removing all the bloatware/crapware, most of the apps and disabling everything in the startup, I noticed that when the computer was not really doing much or much of anything, the fan was running a lot and on high, thus being noisy and annoying, and blowing out very warm air, with the corner area by the vents getting quite warm. At times the processor utilization was at or near 100% and at it's maximum burst (acceleration) speed of 2.9 ghz. Base clock speed is 2.5 ghz.

    I checked some forums and on YouTube, and found one video in which the uploader talked about having a problem with his laptop's fan running almost constantly on high after he had updated from Windows 8.1 to 10.

    He showed in the video that he seemingly had found a simple/quick solution. Go to Power Options, change Plan settings, change Advanced power settings, Processor power management, Maximum processor state ====>Change Plugged in setting default from 100% to 30%.

    He said that immediately worked for him and the fan became barely audible and running normally. He mentioned he was not a gamer and didn't know if the change would affect gaming but for what he used his laptop for the change seemed to work fine.

    Cut to the chase: I made the same adjustment and it worked as it did for him. I haven't noticed any real change in performance/speed, duly noting here that the laptop is a budget (entry level) model and isn't exactly zippy to begin with. I was wondering just exactly what minimum and maximum processor state means and what does lowering the maximum state to 30% actually do and is it in anyway harmful/deterimental or not, short-term or long-term?

    Thanks in advance for any/all input.
