[SOLVED] CPU GETTING MAD!

[sukhman_mann_]

My CPU (i5 9300h) (-125MV Undervolt) has started heating a lot than before! It also shows higher clock speed than before even though I never Overclocked it! It has also shown decrease in its cinebench score from 1850 (AVG.) to 1650 (AVG.)
What could be the reason for this ?

What are your temps?

What are your temps?

While gaming it reaches 92-95C which is not the case with other users of the exacty same laptop!

That's toasty..

Reapply thermal paste on your CPU and clean out all the fans. See if that helps. I imagine it will.

I bought this laptop this last week only so its nothing actually wrong with the hardware!
There is something with the software

Brand new or used?

yo man! its brand new

Have you monitored the cpu voltage to ensure the undervolt is working? A lot of laptops have had BIOS updates that prevent undervolting as it caused a vulnerability. An idea is your laptop has installed a BIOS update, I know my Dell did a few month ago and I had issues with undervolting.

When you say "before," what happened between then and now that could have changed? Check and see if a BIOS update got pushed. Likely BIOS update locked the voltage and thus raised the temps. That is what happened to me and I'm still trying to find a fix as I can't downgrade the BIOS without freezing within Windows.

You can lower the clock speed/speedshift of the boost clock to something manageable without effecting performance too much. Instead of running at 3.9GHz on my 8750H, I keep it at 3GHz until I can figure out a voltage fix.
