I5-12500H has now max boost of 3,1GHz

[ALMEXCZ]

Hello. For some reason my laptop (Gigabyte G5 MF with RTX 4050) set the base and also boost clocks at just 3,1GHz. And no, the manufacturer didn't set lower clocks for cooling. Bcs few months ago it was boosting to 4GHz just fine. I already tried to flash the BIOS and nothing happened. The only thing i did recently is to do some intel drivers updates and clean the vents. The updates i did were 

Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® Drivers for Windows® 10 and Windows 11* Version: 23.140.0.5

Intel® Wireless Wi-Fi Drivers for Windows® 10 and Windows 11*

Version: 23.140.0.3

Intel® Arc™ & Iris® Xe Graphics - Windows*

version: 32.0.101.6881 

thats all i did.

Update: I fixed it using registry edit

Hi @ALMEXCZ,

Processors do not run at their maximum frequency all the time. The processor automatically selects the best frequency depending on the workload demand. If workload demand is high and there are no physical constraints, then the processor may operate at or close to the turbo frequency.

It appears the issue has been resolved by editing the registries. Do you still need any assistance from my end?

Well. The CPU is running at a bit higher frequency but and at highest workload it still only at ~3,2GHz. And the CPU is not thermal throttled. It is chilling at about 66-75°c

Hi @ALMEXCZ,

CPU is running at a higher frequency, reaching up to approximately 3.2 GHz under the highest workload. This suggests that the CPU is performing as expected, utilizing its capabilities to handle demanding tasks. 66-75°C., while this is within a typical operating range for many CPUs under load, it is on the higher side but CPUs can safely operate up to around 80-85°C. CPU is not thermal throttled, meaning it is not reducing its performance to prevent overheating. This is a positive sign, as it suggests the cooling system is effectively managing the heat generated by the CPU.

Overall, while there is no immediate cause for concern, it would be advisable to keep an eye on the CPU temperatures and ensure the cooling system is well-maintained to prevent any future issues.

The observable operation of the processor may be limited by the electrical current and/or temperature limitations and can be design specific. Contact your OEM if you have further questions.

Let me know if you need more information.
