power saving and high performance suck

[come on man]

Hello, power saver and high performance suck imo,because if I'm using some modern CPU on power saving mode,it will have low CPU frequency 24/7 and the cooling system will be set to passive(reduces CPU performance to prevent heating).On high performance I will have high CPU frequency 24/7 even when I opened only notepad and paint.So my question is if there is any way to configure my Ryzen 7 2700x in such way to start from 2Ghz and increase up to 4.3Ghz if needed.I don't want it to save any power and "reduce performance" or work at useless 3.7Ghz 24/7 even when I opened paint.exe.I want something balanced between power saver and high performance.Is this possible on windows with any software or whatever?I heard some ppl do that on Linux.I'm using Ryzen 2700x on x470.

Assuming this is Windows, leave it on the "Balanced" profile and let the OS figure out the performance level the CPU should be.

What is wrong with it being at 3.7ghz all the time? My 1700 is locked at 3,6Ghz all the time, but when it is not doing anything the power usage still goes down.

The Gigahertz's are not the only performance/power usage parameters.

Its supposed to. Paint/notepad can make it run at high frequency. It depends on the utilization. Anyway why are you wanting to throttle your cpu?

How did you make your power usage to go down when it does nothing?It sounds better than lowering CPU speed for power consumption and heating purposes

It's really hot here,my room is rly hot at the summer,because I don't have air conditioner and I live in such place that the sun is in front of me and the room gets hot asap + my PC gets like 50-55 graduses on high performance and it will be nightmare when the actual summer time comes.I want to decrease my Hz temporary until I buy air conditioner and other cooler

Its auto. Your cpu will lower voltages automaticly depending on your usage. It won't run at 100% power at all times unless your me and overclock and tell it to.

graduses? I can walk you through to make your own power plan if you need. You can select the max cpu power and stuff if that's the situation.

write me on personal message how to do that when you have free time,please.and explain me the benefits of the options

I always leave it on performance... the frequency staying high without load doesn't really make a difference... better than having micro-stuttering due to windows needing to ramp up the frequency when needed instead of already being at it since always.

I have my 4790k's frequency set to 4.4 at all times, however it only uses power that it needs to to function with whatever task i assign it. So my computer will only use 10% of it's power running a few programs and chrome or whatever, but it will still do it at 4.4ghz, barely costing any more in power but being much snappier when things ramp up (game workloads or workstation tasks)

 

It was a BIOS setting that I dont recall anymore since I set it up three years ago.

You can look here. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/create-a-custom-power-plan-technicalreference. After you do, hit change plan settings and then hit change advanced power settings. Scroll down to processor power management. There you can set the minimum power and max for your cpu.
