2 Warnings 1 info

Your processor's power limits (PL1/PL2) appear to be set to an unlimited value. This means the CPU is allowed to draw as much power as it wants, with no enforced safeguard beyond what the cooling and voltage regulation can sustain. While this can unlock maximum performance, the processor may run hotter, consume more energy, and experience increased electrical stress over time.

This configuration is often applied automatically by motherboard manufacturers through performance-enhancing profiles. Even without any user changes, many boards ship with these limits effectively disabled by default.

We recommend reviewing your power limit settings in the BIOS or in the software provided by your motherboard. Restoring sensible PL1/PL2 values (typically aligned with the processor's rated TDP) can help lower temperatures, reduce power consumption, and extend the long-term reliability of your CPU.

Your processor is currently operating with fewer threads than its official specifications. It is running with 4 threads, while this CPU normally supports 24 threads.

This limitation reduces performance and may indicate a configuration issue.

This situation can happen when Windows is set to limit the number of active cores, when BIOS settings are not at their defaults, or when a recent change has disabled certain CPU features. In rare cases, a BIOS update may be required for the system to properly detect the full capabilities of the processor.

We recommend checking Windows’ advanced boot options (msconfig) to ensure all cores are enabled. You should also load the default settings in your BIOS to restore proper CPU configuration.

Your RAM is not running in dual-channel mode. This isn’t an issue, but you could gain some extra performance with the proper configuration.

If you have two modules, placing them in the correct slots on the motherboard usually enables dual channel. If you only have one module, adding a second one will activate it automatically.
