Best Minipc Forum

The power usage stays around 34 watts on all 3 settings although the RGB changes colors. I have tried reinstalling the base drivers on the forums to no avail, is there any way to fix this?

also another thing, the CPU when stressed rarely reaches base speeds and only goes turbo up 3.40 GHz ish when around 5-30% cpu load. I'm not sure if this normal or not. any help would be appreciated

Currently, our tests indicate that the power consumption control knob is functioning normally. For reference, please review the following link: [Test Results]https://www.minipcunion.com/viewtopic.p ... 0730c7a31b

If you encounter any issues, please provide a detailed video of the problem along with your order number for verification.

Regarding Processor Operating Frequency
It is normal for the i7-12700H processor to sometimes run at a frequency lower than its base frequency of 2.3 GHz. This behavior is due to the dynamic frequency adjustment mechanisms of modern processors, which may occur for the following reasons:

1. Power Saving Mode
The processor reduces its frequency under low-load conditions to minimize power consumption and heat generation. This is especially common when the device is in power-saving mode or standby.

2. Intel SpeedStep and SpeedShift Technologies
These technologies allow the CPU to dynamically adjust its frequency to meet the demands of current tasks.
When task loads are minimal, the CPU may operate at speeds lower than its base frequency (e.g., 800 MHz–1.5 GHz).
