Have a look in task manager to see what/if any processes have high cpu use.

Could be an App./software set to run on startup.

Could be an incorrect bios setting.

Ryzen 5 5600x, B550 aorus pro ac, Hyper 212 black, 2 x 16gb F4-3600c16dgtzn kit, Aorus gen4 1tb, Nitro+RX6900XT, RM850, Win.10 Pro., LC27G55T..

I am not familiar with that motherboard but my Asrock z370 has a sort of multi core enhancement setting in the bios and if that is enabled they will run at max clocks.

I don't know what Asus calls it but it could be something like that
