That 1% change actually toggles Turbo boost. At 99%, your CPU sticks to its base clock, so it runs much cooler. At 100%, boost kicks in, which increases voltage and power draw — that’s why temps go up noticeably.And can someone enlighten me why if i cap cpu power state to 99% then max temp go like 75C while with 100% cpu cap it goes 90C.
Weirdly enough, I saw a Reddit post on this exact topic today :-Reddit
