Intel SpeedStep not working

[JustAnotherTroll]

Just realised after my friend pointed out, that my Processor does not throttle when I'm idle.. (it will stay at 4.2GHz).

However, the voltage will vary. This is causing my temps to be 8-10deg higher than normal on idle.

Why is this happening?

Have updated to the latest BIOS already. Any bros having the same issue?

Is your minimum processor state in power options 100%?

Go Control Panel and check on your power plan. did you select power saving or Max performance?. usually if you select Max performance - as Godeau suggest will put your minmum and maximum process state at 100% all the time - therefore your CPU will not throttle down even when at idle.

It's on Balanced. Balanced min 5% max 100%.
Somehow when I switch to Power Saver the CPU will throttle down.

I'm getting very big variations in voltages even when idle. Can be as low as 0.1xx

Something wrong with CPUZ or my PC?

try resetting your bios, might be some bios oc thing auto disabling the speedstep. If that doesn't work I am out of ideas

edit: is your OC genie enabled? if yes please disable it

will check when i'm home. probably misclicked it or something.

OC genie is not enabled. don't know what else to do. :/

I read somewhere that samsung SSD will cause CPU to throttle full . some setting needs to be done. did you just upgrade to your samsung ssd recently?
