The CPU locked itself at 798 MHz on cold start. Could be a BIOS setting issue, but I don't know which option. Anyway... just a stupid complaint. PROCHOT has nothing to do with setting CPU speed. It's there to turn off the computer, if the CPU gets too hot. First, the CPU has a throttling state, which would normally be enough to control the CPU temperature. But, if the heatsink falls off the CPU or the fan blade is jammed so there is no airflow, PROCHOT turns off the computer, just like that. Like a light switch. Once the junction temperature rises 20C higher than the throttling point, that's when PROCHOT turns off the main ATX power rails. You can disable all the C states in the BIOS and disable EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep). That's the equivalent of using the "Performance" schema in the Power control panel. The CPU will run at the top multiplier (and run at its rated speed). However, if there is still a problem with cooling, all that making those adjustments in the BIOS will do, is hasten the time until PROCHOT turns off the computer again. If there is a cooling problem (fan fails to turn), or the computer is kept in a closet with the door closed, it's going to overheat. Paul |

The CPU will run at the top multiplier (and run at its rated speed). I tried doing that but it still throttled itself at 798 MHz. Resetting all BIOS values to defaults solved the problem, but then I don't know what BIOS values triggered the throttling. Everything happened after KB4494441 was installed into Win 10 build 1809. Someone suggested a tool called ThrottleStop, and it really instantly fixed the issue. Really weird.... and confusing. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!
