It's working as intended. If turbo annoys you, disable it in BIOS or edit your Windows power plan to set cpu at 99% of maximum frequency and minimum 0%.

It's not being stressed on idle so it will turbo and not use much power. Once you stress the cpu, it will lower the clocks and stay within power limits.
