i5-10300H CPU Clock always at the maximum problem

[Niko87]

Hi, my new i5-10300h cpu seems to have a problem with the clock frequency because it is almost always at max (4.2ghz) even when I use the notebook only to surf the internet, I have already checked the power saving and it is set to balanced , even that of Windowa 10 is about better performance.
What could be causing it or how can I get the frequency to go down so it doesn't waste too much energy?

I think I solved after installing the latest Intel DHC graphics drivers the clock rate is now no longer max but dynamic.
