i7 8700k Constantly at max clock speed.

[kieranfr]

Hey guys I got an i7 8700k a little bit ago and I can't get it to decrease the clock speed when not under a high load, It constantly runs at 4.4-4.7 Ghz. I am probably just missing some setting in the BIOS knowing me. When I disable Turbo boost it just stays at 3.7Ghz.

All I want is for the CPU to go back to it's base clock speed when not under load and then ramp up when needed. Any help on resolving this issue would be appreciated, all of the following images were taken right after booting up my PC and leaving it idle. I recently updated my BIOS and reset the settings.

My motherboard is the MSI Z370 SLI PLUS.

Set power options in Windows. Maximum performance will keep your chip at full clocks if it's set.

After changing the Windows power settings to Balanced and restarting my PC nothing has changed.

Misc setting, you have eist disabled. It needs to be enabled iirc. 4th screen shot showing bios.

After enabling that this is happening, not sure if it's normal or not.
