Hello.
I have observed that my AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor has been continuously maintaining very high clock speeds (> 4 GHz) even at low loads. And it has been almost independent on its load - such high clock speed I have observed both during 3D rendering at low processor loads accompanied with high dedicated graphics card loads and while displaying only Windows' desktop with dedicated graphics card deactivated. These high clock speeds have exceded 4 GHz, which is especially curious while taking into account that is is laptop processor with nominal clock speed of 3.2 GHz - I would rather expect decreased clock speeds, especially while displaying only Windows' desktop on laptop, to save energy. I have monitored its clock speed with using Windows' task manager, CPU-Z 2.08.0 software, Acer Nitro Sense software (laptop vendor's official supporting software, for controlling cooling fans' speed) and with MSI Afterburner software for measurements during 3D rendering (in DirectX 12 mode), and all this software has been showing such high clock speeds. I have observed neither any other suspicious behavior nor other problems, such as overheating, high cooling fan noise or FPS drop. Processor temperatures at low loads, while using "performance" mode of laptop's cooling system, have been usually below 70 °C (usually below 55-60 °C while displaying only Windows' desktop). The processor has been working well in general, except for suspiciously high clock speeds at low loads. I have never tried any overclocking with this laptop, processor and other components are working in same way as they had came from laptop's factory (same drivers and settings; I have used MSI Afterburner software only for monitoring performance and displaying statistics during 3D rendering). However, I am worried about excessive processor aging, if still maintaining such high clock speeds all the time...
Other components of my computer configuration (gaming-type laptop, model Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46 NH-QGZEP-008 from 2022) are: nVidia GeForce RTX 3060 (6 GB VRAM GDDR6, 192-bit VRAM bus width, 140 W TGP, PCI-E 4.0), 32 GB RAM DDR5-4800, Windows 11 Home OS.
Is it normal behavior of this processor? Or what should be done for achieving its normal operating conditions?
