Processors

[el_arantis]

Hello everyone,

I upgraded to an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X processor and installed all drivers etc.

I realized that AMD Ryzen Balanced Power Profile keeps my cpu at idle state to aprox. 3.9GHz

I selected the Windows Balanced profile and now lows to 2.2GHz when idle.

Of course Cool & Quiet etc. are normally enabled at BIOS.

Is that normal? Do I have to do anything special?

The changes made in the Ryzen Balanced Power were added into the Windows Balanced Power Profile during the release of Redstone 4. So, you can use the Windows Balanced Power Profile from hereon in.
