PC Processors

[cpurpe91]

Ryzen CPUs are typically boosting for a second or two whenever there is a small load. So the smallest load could be waking the CPU and causing it to boost so it can respond to the load.

Windows processes are always working in the back ground, so the CPU boosting for a second or two at a time, is normal.

The base clock in some power plans is always maintained for example the 3.4 - 3.6ghz frequency is typical on my machine, with a Ryzen 7 5700X, with it at times dropping to 2.8ghz. These are my power plan settings.

If I were to turn the Maximum to 99%, in my experience it disables the boost clock from reaching the advertised speeds.

@Jeremy1,

Do you have any background processes using the CPU at max?
Press Alt+Ctrl+Delete and look at the processes in Task Manager.

[Jeremy1]

This happens when everything is closed, I checked the computer for viruses, there are no viruses

[petosiris]

By "everything" you mean all non-windows background processes too?

[Jeremy1]

Yes

Yes

edit- watch your temp,... not do much while doing it. 

Yes, i will go ham for a second, here and there. You WANT that.

I've already left it like that, the temperature is 35-40 degrees, the computer doesn't glitch, everything is fine, but I'm worried if it's normal for it to work like that. I had an fx 8320, but it didn't happen there, only when I played games

[Koyote7667]

its fine
