Hello!
I have a stock HP computer that has a Pegatron IPIEL-LA3 (Eureka3) motherboard (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01746799). I recently swapped out the Q8300 CPU that came with it for a Q9650. I made sure that the BIOS is the latest version and has the right microcode (it did and updated it anyway). No overclocking or anything like that (not that the MB would allow it anyway). The hardware runs fine except CPU utilization would exceed 93% utilization at 2.76 GHz (e.g., running Prime95) according to Task Manager in Windows 10, which also ignores fixing the min/max processor state (and throttles the CPU dynamically).
However, CPU-Z (and even Windows itself) reports the max CPU speed (3.00 GHz)and other specs correctly. CPUID HWMonitor also reports 3 GHz and 100% utilization in Prime95. The core temps do eventually exceed 70°C (as in the screenshot) but this occurs right away even at lower temperatures.
So, which is correct? Searching for similar reports online has not been fruitful, and I am scratching my head!
I thank you in advance for any insight into the discrepancy and also how I could get Windows 10 to follow the power plan settings.
