Go to power management advanced and you can set max and min frequency in percentages.

That's what I thought to do at first time.Do you think it's safe for Desktop CPUs?For laptops sure,it will save battery life,but I don't know if this option has some bad side.Just I feel my PC is kinda hot and I think if I change the minimal CPU frequency,it won't be that hot till I buy new cooler

in windows 10, just set your power management to high performance and call it a day.

I did that and my PC gets warm,on power saver mode it's less warm.I'm staying on power saver mode until I buy some better cooler and I will go on high performance as you said

it gets warm, or it gets worryingly hot?

 

most of my computers get warm, but thats because i run ridiculously low fan curves, none of them are overheating however.

that said, whatever you do, any somewhat modern cpu will at least try to protect itself in case of extreme thermal situations.

 

this video from carey holzman is probably a bit of an extreme, but draws the picture nicely:

(ignore the bit about his dog..)

(edit: and his rant about windows keys..)

it gets warm,let's say it's 46-49 graduses on high performance mode,but the thing which annoys me is..how can it be 46-49 graduses,if wraith prism supports 3000RPM?Why does it let stay 46 graduses?I expected to make it let's say 36-39 graduses 24/7 by increasing RPM automatically.I will check that video.On high performance my cooler runs like ~2000RPM 24/7,on power saver mode it runs with almost ~150-200 rpm less

46°c is cool enough, cranking up the fan speed would only realisticly make it louder, with no other benefits.

safe as it hurt the pc, no.

 

But I don't see a reason to. It boosts when you need speed. ALso there are c states that turn the cpu off when light load.
