HELIOS 300 PH315-52 i5-9300h (2019) Always at max cpu turbo frequency even in light loads

brobrobro

So i bought this HELIOS 300 PH315-52 i5-9300h (2019) gaming laptop, it's working as intended. But i noticed that the CPU frequency is always on turbo which is about 3.8Ghz even in light loads, this led to higher temps and is really a cause for my concern. is this normal? if so, what causes this?

brobrobro thats completely normal welcome to the very useful (not) windows 10 1909 its always on max turbo because microsoft implemented the dumb feature (they call it core awareness) to basically park all cores and only use 2 all the other cores are kept parked until they are needed (when windows tells them they are) this measure of course will increase the temps on idle/light work nothing anyone can do unless they want to force downgrade manually to 1903 or even 1809 so again well done microsoft   im on 1809 since it came out and not moving up not a single issue for the last 2 years 

andylb its nor the turbo boost its 1909 basically its kinda this (just copying from the predator fb group by @Red-Sand ) 

Windows has a new "feature" that prioritizes a few of the CPU cores to run more than all the other cores.

Their argument is that silicon lottery for specific cores is better than others so prioritizing those cores would give more performance... And that's totally fine if you only use office programs.

This causes temps to appear higher than they should be.

Last night I kissed 90 C on one of my cores and my lowest core was 45 C

Working on a fix but I'm not sure how they implemented it.

FYI: This doesn't take into consideration the temperature of the CPU so load is never distributed to even out thermals.

Turn off Turbo Boost, watch this video

I think what you sent me is an old Helios 300, what i mean is the 2019 Helios 300 and i dont turn on my turbo. It's the cpu that's having a high frequency
