Power Limit Throttling issue (desktop)

Go to solution Solved by porina,

Are there any power limit settings in the bios? They will have a description something like short term power limit, long term power limit, power limit duration. If so, increase the power limits.

 

BTW doing this is not considered as overclocking by Intel.

Hi,  i need help with an issue i have since installing a new motherboard

my cpu keeps throttling down the core speeds every time it is being under load even a slight load just instantly causes "Power Limit Throttling " seen on intel extreme tuning software image attached

does anyone know what could cause this? i am really frustrated with this issue, i have an updated bios to the latest version i've tried to reset bios settings i've tried to modify and disable any power saving options on the motherboard
i also tried all power saving options on windows 10 and nothing fixes this isssue, my hardware is fine my power supply is good for this build (everything worked perfectly couple days ago when i used my old h310m motherboard)

specs:
cpu: i7 8700

ram: 16gb 8x2 corsair vegance pro 3200mhz
motherboard: B365 M AORUS ELITE

gpu: gtx 1050TI

psu: 500Watt thermaltake

thank you for replying, i was actually looking for this settings in the bios but i cannot find it, i'm starting to think gigabyte has missed out on something since this motherboard support better cpu's that also meant for overclocking and might 
made a mistake configuring the unlocked bios settings for non K cpu's but i am not sure

Um i've raised  "Turbo boost max power" using intel extreme tuning utility to 120W and it seemed to solve it but it shows my package tdp is 109W when running 4.3ghz on all cores, is it normal or something is wrong with my cpu?

It's a low end cheap mobo, not surprising not to find that on it.
