Processor Limitations

[CadeteRuso]

Hi!

I own a ASUS TUF Gaming F15 2023, and whenever its plugged in it works just right. However, when running on battery, the processor (11th Gen Intel i5-114400H) limits itselft to work using only 1GHz out of 4, performing significantly slower. I'm guessing it's some kind of battery-saving feature but I haven't found a way to disable it (I've changed Power Plan settings over and over and even tried apps/programs like ThrottleStop). People I know who own similar models to mine aren't facing this issue.

Can anyone help? Thanks beforehand!

Hi,

Is it really 1Ghz maximum or can your CPU go higher if you perform heavy tasks?
Maybe if your CPU is running at 1 Ghz it doesn't need more.

Install HWinfo64 to monitor CPU frequency and TDP (Watt).
Then launch Cinebench R23 and monitor these 2 values in Hwinfo.

PS: Hwinfo64 will help you better understand how your laptop works on battery/plugged in and in each of Armory Crate's CPU modes.
