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.

1 running program(s) are known to consume resources in the background with little benefit (preinstalled trials, redundant cleaners, or permanent helper services).

These programs are often preinstalled by the PC manufacturer or bundled with other software, and keep running at every startup even when unused.

Uninstalling them, or disabling their automatic startup, frees memory and shortens the boot time. The Processes button in the Software section lists each detected program and why it is flagged.
