I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to the technicals, but I recently bought a system with the i9 10900k. I have what I believe to be an "issue" or misunderstanding. I have changed the power settings to balanced to try and save some juice and not have the CPU run so warm when idle. sounds great, and normally I would thing.
the problem seems to be even in balanced mode the CPU bounces from 3.5ghz to 4.8. My old 6700k used to go to rouhly 800hz.
I thought okay, background processes? nope, nothing out of the usual.
is this a 10900k thing or its there something I can look into?
- I have since found all the power options don't seem to work.
i can select them (say high performance) but it will still bounce from 3.6 ish to 4.9 depending on real load.
