Intel Processor Throttling Issue on High Performance Mode

[somatobrod]

Hi everyone,

I’m new here and need some advice. I’m using a laptop with an Intel i7-10750H processor, and I’ve noticed significant performance drops during gaming and rendering tasks. The CPU temperature seems to be fine (around 80–85°C), but the clock speed frequently drops below base levels even when the laptop is plugged in and set to High-Performance mode in Windows.

Could this be a power delivery issue or something related to BIOS settings? Has anyone else experienced this, and what steps should I take to resolve it?

Hello somatobrod,

Thank you for posting in our communities.

May I know when the issue started? And what specific games do you encounter the issue with?

Is it possible that you can share a video of your system clock speed when the clock speed drops?

Furthermore, please generate an SSU report to help me further analyse important details on your system, such as the OS build number, graphics driver version, errors logged in the system, etc. To generate the SSU report, please refer to the article: How to Get the Intel® System Support Utility Logs on Windows. Please send us the generated SSU.txt file.

By the way, since this is an OEM (branded laptop) original equipment manufacturer device, please take into consideration that our support may be limited since we are not familiar with the technology, settings, customisations, custom drivers, and features that the OEM has designed and installed on your system; nevertheless, I will do my best to assist you with your concern.

Best regards,
