Hello, as the title says, my i5 11400F is only boosting when I use Ultimate power mode.
I have a MSI B560m pro-vdh motherboard and have Intel boost enabled in the bios but it doesn't happen unless I'm on this power mode. It stays at boost and doesn't go down to 2.6 at idle unless I change the power mode. I recently put an aftermarket cooler on it so fortunately it can handle the higher temps, it couldn't with the stock cooler. I have updated the bios.. still noticed a few spelling mistakes in it.
I am only a novice PC builder and most of it goes over my head but I can tell that there's something not right here.
I only really play Warzone nowadays and occasionally a bit of VR. Before I changed the cooler and power mode I was getting on average 60fps, now I'm getting 130fps but I am conscious as to how much power I'm using (UK energy bills have skyrocketed) and whether it could degrade the CPU over time.
Please let me know what you think I should do.
