System Analysis
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.
