The computer should automatically reduce the clock speed when at idle unless you have changed the settings and have told it not to do so, possibly in the power options in the control panel or in the bios

its in power settings. If your on high performance, which most are, the min and max cpu is at 100% and 100%. Which means that no matter what the cpu is at 100%. If you don't want this, either change the plan to like balanced, or go to the cpu part and change minimum to like 10% or 50% or something.
