Does anyone have any clue why all of a sudden, windows 10 pro 64bit keeps changing my power plan back to balanced?

Okie dok.. Thank you!!

You got lucky. Nothing more to it. Sometimes you find a golden egg. I personally have really good luck with finding CPU's that self OC (boost) to where others have to manually OC them to get to. Nice find!

Do you have the C States disabled in the bios? But I see what you mean about the back and forth with the frequencies whilst idle. I'm kind of starting to wonder if I just hadn't noticed it before now. Also, what's MCE?

Lmfao. I've had the build about a yr now.. hopefully it's been giving me some off time.. lol

Well, the thing is I've never seen it do this before a couple days ago..

Well, I think you're on to something. I checked it and usually I have it on a custom performance plan, but somehow Win 10 changed it back to balanced. I set it to the performance plan and Win 10 changed it back.. again.

So.. For some reason, literally out of the blue, my 9900K throttles from 800Mhz - 5Ghz and every single frequency in between. I went into the bios and enabled the enhanced multicore option, but that just boosted all the cores to 5Ghz at all times, which is nice, but neither fixes my issue nor is good for the cpu's health. Then this morning I put that back to auto and disabled all the c states and when i boosted it up after that it was good. Then I get off work and start it up and here we are, having the throttling issue again. I'm really hoping my MB isn't done for and im especially hoping my cpu isn't a gonner. I've always had excellent cooling on it so i dont know whats going on. PC Specs below. Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks for a completely useless comment.

So, I have a 2070 Super and a 1060 6gb. I just got a new 144Hz monitor, so my plan is to connect the new monitor to the 2070 Super and connect my 2 old monitors to the 1060 so the 2070 can be dedicated to gaming. I'd use the 1060 for like web browsers and StreamLabs OBS, etc, etc... Would this even work? Would it carry any benefit what so ever? You would think if the 2070 isn't having to push 3 monitors, it would be better, but I don't know. Thanks in advance!! Here's my System. The 1060 will get re-added if y'all say it'll be a benefit.
