Hello, guys! I know there are many topics on that matter, I've read tons of them and they all seem to go into the wrong direction. So here's the problem.
I have a new PC with Intel Core i7-10700 CPU which shows very strange but similar behavior in stress tests and Cinebench R20-23 tests. Here's what's happening: first 10 seconds or so it suddenly boosts up to 4600 MHz and consumes up to 125-150W. Then the consumption drops to TDP values (61-65W) and the clock also drops to 3000-3100 MHz. As a result, I get 1) very poor results on Cinebench, and in AIDA stress test I can't actually stress my CPU properly, cause it may run at 55-57 degrees for a very long time, consuming 65W at 3100 MHz.
But, here's the main thing which isn't mentioned in all those numerous topics. In games I get stable 4600 MHz at 60-65W power consumption. It means it could possibly run at those speeds in stress tests as well, right? And here's the point which may lead to the problem fix: in Cinebench it consumes 65W while running at 3100 MHz, in games – same 65W but at 4600 MHz, which is absolutely weird! Is power consumption not related to clock speed or what?
Now for the solutions: in those countless and identical topics people advise to check BIOS for some magical settings which will reduce power limit throttling. However, my BIOS doesn't offer any power adjustments. Also, like i said, CPU may run at max clock for a very long time while gaming and the clock doesn't drop to 3000-3100 MHz. But still i'm concerned, because in CPU-intensive apps (like rendering, or anything else) it will definitely reduce the clock speed just after 10-15 seconds.
Can someone tell what is going on? Is that normal or how to fix that?
