PC Processors

Hi all

Ive just recently purchased a new system and im having problems setting things up the way i normally do.

I usually run my builds in high performance so the cpu is at 100% but i cannot get this ryzen 3 2200g to achieve that.

the cpu will always drop down to 1.6ghz when idle even with minimum processor state set to 100% in the high performance power plan.

I have tried the asrock forum as my board is a asrock a320m-hdv but nobody responds to you on there lol so thought i would try here to see if anyone can help me with this.

To be honest not one power plan changes anything to the processor state i have tried all including amd balanced plan, but my processor still idles at 1.6ghz and not 3.5ghz like it should do in high performance.

Thanks in advance

Windows 10 enables the processor to change C states incredibly rapidly, much faster than Windows 8 and earlier allowed, so there is no performance detriment in allowing the CPU to clock down.

If that is the case why have a high performance power plan in windows and set the cpu 100% if it does not do that.

I also have a windows 10 laptop with a amd A10 9600p which performs how I expect, I select high performance power plan and the processor stays at 100%

My old desktop that I had before upgrading with a Athlon ii X4 641 again windows 10 behaved as expected power plan,high performance = cpu always running at 100%.

I have been on many forums now and nobody seems to have a answer for me. I'm asking everywhere incase a have a component anywhere that is faulty that is why I'm trying to get to the bottom off this.

I would expect setting minimum processor to 100% for the cpu to idle at its full clock speed but this one isn't.

Thanks
