Cpu running full speed?

[charbel1011]

I reinstalled my windows 10 yesterday, and my cpu temperature went up 10 degrees and i checked the frequency and its full speed, i checked the power option to see if its balanced and its already in that mode and i cant turn my cpu down.

If you've just reinstalled windows, then it's probably because the OS is working on updates, indexing files, etc. That's normal for a very recent instal. Give it a couple days and everything should go back to normal.

Or disable all of those functions/options.

I just checked resource monitor it says theres is only 28-30% usage, but cpu z it says my core speed are at full speed i don't know what going on

did you change anything in the BIOS when doing the fresh install?

It could be that only 1 or 2 cores are running at full speed. 

Unless your performance is being affected elsewhere, I wouldn't worry about it.

your cpu running at full speed does not immediatly mean it is running at 100%. for example, if you have 4 cores it could be that only one of your cores is running on full speed whilst the others wait for new things to do

Try resetting the CMOS

Well, then that explains it. Your CPU is under load, which means it'll run at full speed to give you the performance you need.

i have nothing opened and there's no updates going on and it stays full speed speed, all i did was reinstalled windows and that happened. before i reinstalled windows while i wasn't doing anything on the computer my cores clock down to 800mhz.

Don't mix 2 different concepts. "full spead" doesn't mean "load". Didn't you just say you were running at 28~30% in your last post? Yeah, THAT is load, regardless of you CPU running at 800mhz, 4ghz or whatever. And if there is load, there is heat; not only that, there's also turbo boost (assuming Intel) to raise the frequencies and boost performance.

 

Now, as to WHY there is load applying at "idle", that's another story. As I've said, Windows does stuff in the background, whether you realize it or not. And if it's a fresh install, then it's going to do A LOT of first time configuration and stuff. Give it a week and it should be back to normal.

Alright thank you
