this is a thing I'm getting more and more interested with as time goes on, there definitely are factors the pc utilizes beyond clock speed that determine the speed / length of delay between processes, it requires tremendous amounts of airflow and in my observation is basically impossible if the ambient temperature is above 75 but I cant be the only one who notices these effects. i also notice the rate of how quickly the cpu is able to go from 40 to say 25c or even lower is directly correlated to this effect as well.
There's a VERY noticeable difference in basic pc responsiveness if the CPU idles at 32c vs 25c, windows boots far faster, etc even though 30-40c is well within its safety limit the cpu 100% puts a throttle on some parameters to some extent at even that temperature. this is so fascinating to me. even on older hardware ive seen this effect very blatantly, the only thing i could compare this effect to is how animal's metabolisms work, cooler temperature involuntarily creates movement and thats more or less the same exact thing here. physics is awesome
