Hello

I have a motherboard Asus Maximus VII Hero and a CPU Intel i7 4790k.

The cpu core voltage never changes and the CPU core frequency does not get lower, not even on idle.

As you can see on the Intel XTU and Asus Ai Suit 3 pictures.

Could you help me please?

I have the latest BIOS, chipset, motherboard software and drivers.

The BIOS settings are on optimized defaults and SpeedStep is enabled.

How can I make the CPU core voltage and core frequency adapt to the CPU utilization?

Yes I had. I changed it to Balanced and also went to advanced energy settings, and modified Minimum Processor State to 0%.

The CPU core voltage and frequency does drop now.

It is always flunctuating, but it gets to lower values.

Thank you.
