  1. Windows limits my CPU frequency


    Hello,

    After an update my processor cannot run higher than 1,5Ghz. I've tried resetting CPU and cache voltages and multipliers, that worked for 10 seconds and then the CPU returned to 62% load at 1.49Ghz again. The base frequency displayed at the task manager is 2.4. How can I disable this limitations in order to reach normal CPU speed?

    :)

    INCORRECT CPU FREQUENCY READING

    Hello Muhammad,

    CPU usage depends on the applications that are open to your device. To isolate the problem, we suggest that you answer the following questions:

    • Can you include a screenshot of the CPU reading?
    • Have you tried performing a
      clean boot
      to eliminate software conflicts?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Looking forward to your response.

  3. INCORRECT CPU FREQUENCY READING

    I just reinstall my windows 10. Then after checking task manager the cpu reading shows 1% utilization at 2.40GHz. Somebody tell me how to fix this incorrect cpu frequency reading ?

    Windows limits my CPU frequency

    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:

    Windows limits my CPU frequency 0e05a760-5e71-41dd-a028-42165b6d17f2.png

    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".
