Question i9 and low frequency on idle ?

[diango]

Is that ok?
On image 1101.03 MHz Sometimes even 800 Mhz.
I believe it's connected with turbo frequency adjust, but I wonder what do you recommend guys?
I have concerns that it needs time to boost and maybe better if it runs always even at idle at min. 3-4Ghz?
What do you think?

nope, @Idle it´s saving you money and lifetime of the components. Just let it do its thing, or the system will be always heated up and eventually the turbo won´t be that fast while you need it @ higher frequency, you won´t feel the switch from 800MHz to max. frequency at all

Not really.

When the C states are enabled in the BIOS, any Intel Core i CPU will save power by entering one of the low power C states when they are idle. Slowing a CPU down when it is lightly loaded might have been necessary 20 years ago but it is not necessary today, especially when a desktop computer is plugged in.

Switch to the Windows High Performance power plan if you want your CPU to run at full speed when it is lightly loaded.

Here is a good example. A 10 core CPU with all cores running at 5000 MHz Power consumption is minimal and the idle temperature of all cores is less than 30°C

I have concerns that it needs time to boost

Your concerns are real. A slow CPU increases latency. A fast CPU decreases latency. You paid for a fast CPU. Do not be afraid to use the performance you paid for.
