The CPU would not be running at 2.6 GHz if it was thermal throttling.
i3 is the name of the laptop. The parts inside are i7-10750H, 16gb ddr4, gtx 1650ti, 500gb sdd m2
yes it was plugged in and there is only one power plan but these are my settings on it
not sure. which program should i use to check the temperature? btw i waited for the laptop to cool down after and tried it again after (i used a hair dyer XD) but it was the same result no matter which app i use it stills 'caps' at 2.59GHz. i tried it on Gta5, cinnebench

Im gonna do it now, should i be running an cpu intensive app while using the ThrottleStop app?@Fabjon
I suggest you run ThrottleStop.
ThrottleStop 9.7.2 Download
ThrottleStop is a small application designed to monitor for and correct the three main types of CPU throttling that are being used on many laptowww.techpowerup.com
Lenovo has used a wide variety of throttling methods on their laptops for years. My 4th Gen Lenovo Y510P secretly disables Intel Turbo Boost whenever the Nvidia GPU is active. It looks like your laptop is doing something similar.
Post lots of screenshots of ThrottleStop including the main window, the FIVR and TPL windows and I should be able to tell you what is causing this problem and maybe come up with a fix too. Have a look in the Limit Reasons window for any reasons for throttling.

It does not matter. Your CPU should be using full turbo boost. Run something simple like a TS Bench - 1 Thread test and see if there is any turbo boost. Your CPU should be running way faster whether lightly loaded or fully loaded.
I assume lenovo has some some of automated weird system that decides when the cpu should be used to the max... after pressing run on the app Throttlestop my cpu was running on 4.smth GHz. thanks i guess@Fabjon

not sure why it happens but while TS is running its running on 4.5GHz imma try it on another app to see if levono decides when to use the cpu to the max. ps go right to see all images
Lenovo does a lot of shady things to reduce the performance of their laptops. Turn on the ThrottleStop Log File option and go play a game. Do something that enables the Nvidia GPU. In previous laptops, that is when the CPU was deliberately throttled.
imma try that, this * software lenovo has made is weird af, btw i get why it happens i tryed disabling turbo boost with the app TS and running it...cpu speed goes down to 2.59 again. when turbo boost isnt diasbled in TS then it goes to 5ghz
Intel has provided multiple methods to disable turbo boost. Post screenshots of the FIVR and TPL windows so I can see how those are setup.
Now the weird thing is even if i shut down the laptop and turn it back on after cooling. it runs on 4.2-4.7ghz on ilde or using chrome. only way i found of using less power from cpu was disabling turbo boost on TS app. Any idea on how to make it automatically switch from high to low ghz ussage when needed? i activated high performace and got the option in power plan too now. i thought that quiet mode isnt worth it cuz i came to the conclusion it used less power to lower fan speed and it was right after checking the stats some time ago, so i run on balanced mode and have an option to auto turn on peformace mode when i game. i just need the laptop to auto change the cpu speed now ?any help?
