Inconsistent CPU Speeds

Joe4937

I have purchased my product through Amazon and have had it for no more than a week but it seems to have some issues already. Being a new laptop I didn't have much installed so I already ran a reset to see if it would fix my problem but it did not.
The problem I have is that when I observe the cpu speeds on task manager my speeds seem inconsistent than when I had it the first few days. For the first few days, my cpu was running as expected. When idle or doing something light such as web browsing or typing up a document on word, I was having speeds between 1.0 GHz and 1.8 GHz (my max speed). Then when I played a game the turbo boost kicked in and I would reach speeds of 2.8 to 3.2. Now its seems that I am getting an inconsistent rate even when doing nothing. With only having the task manager open, I am now getting values between 0.94 and 3.2 so at random times the fan gets louder and my laptop heats up more. It's strange to me that this would happen even when I have no programs running.
So I was wondering if there is something I could adjust to see if I could go back to the consistent speeds I was having when I first started using my laptop.

A new laptop should not be doing this. If you're playing a game that you meet as a recommended settings, then it should not overheat nor be inconsistent and lag. Try updating your Windows and its drivers and if the problem persists, return would be the option to opt in.

Depending  on CPU load and what programs run in the background, the CPU will throttle yp and down.  Then the FAN will respond accordingly.  Windows 10 has an update component that will be resource hungry at times and can cause the CPU to run higher.
The CPU can idle at low speeds to save battery life and run cooler.  The turbo speed feature will be used when its needed, the OS will handle this.  You can go into power settings and limit how high the CPU runs but then you will limit performance.
Hope this helps,
