System Analysis
3 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 an Engineering sample. An Engineering Sample (ES) CPU is a pre-release processor sent by the manufacturer to OEMs/engineers for testing and validation.

It often has unfinished microcode/firmware, may run at non-final clocks/voltages, and can show bugs or different performance vs retail chips.

ES chips are usually not for sale, may be locked/traceable, and don’t always support full warranty/official support.

The drive ARDOR GAMING m.2 NVME SI512QSHI has spent 41 minute(s) operating above its warning temperature threshold (typically 70°C). The drive is still functional but is running hotter than its manufacturer recommends for sustained operation, which gradually shortens its lifespan.

Check airflow and cooling around the drive. Adding a heatsink or improving case ventilation usually resolves this.
