CPU Power and Current Throttling

Hi, I bought a really disgusting pre-built and I'm experiencing strange CPU throttlings.

(I had to put a water cooler since it had the stock one, the guy who built it seems very unprofessional and IDK if BIOS is well configured)

 

Stress tests performed with MSI Kombastor shows the CPU running at 4,8 GHz and Max 80 degrees Celsius, the fact is that after 10 seconds it drops to 3.6 GHz and 50 degrees.

 

I did a test with Intel XTU and it constantly says "Power Throttling" and "Current Throttling" (This last one is always shown, even without stress test). Can you guys help me trying to figure out the problem? Thanks

 

CPU: i7-10700 (TurboBoost 3.0 enabled)

 

GPU: RTX 2060

 

Mobo: Gigabyte H410M H (Pls check it, I guess it's horrible)

 

PSU: Aerocool AERO White 700W

What does HWInfo say your VRAM hits for temperature when the CPU starts throttling?

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Why is the 5800x so hot?

 I don't know what u're talking about so I made a screenshot of everything.

If you open it in sensor mode(there's a popup when you start the application to ask if you want sensors only mode), you can scroll down to a motherboard part. CPU and Motherboard parts will tell more about why it's throttling.
