PT516-51s : Low CPU Workload, High CPU Clocks & High Temperatures

My gear is an Acer Predator Triton 500 SE PT516-51s-98E0, which I've owned for about a year.

When selecting the High Performance Power Plan, even though there is a Low CPU Workload of around five percent, the CPU Clocks are maxed out in Turbo Mode and the system generates a huge amount of heat, up to eighty degrees Celsius, practically idle.

I've only managed to control the issue by selecting the Balanced Power Plan, while at the same time setting the CPU Power Limit to ninety-five percent. It will only go into Turbo Mode during gaming sessions.

I did not have these issues until recently, I believe. I'm afraid that the hardware on my laptop will suffer in time.

You can observe a huge peak in the CPU Clocks & Temperature (above eighty degrees Celsius) in the screenshot below, when selecting the High Performance Power Plan, although the CPU Workload remains unchanged.

It's as if the computer no longer knows how to control the CPU, in line with the necessary tasks to achieve.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers,
