Ok, small problem, but one that's annoying the **** of me !, CPU isn't downlocking anymore, its staying pegged at 4.5ghz ( 7700K ), its still sitting at 29-30 degrees so its not like its being used, but I can't for the life of me find whats causing it other than the Vive .

My CPU clocks down fine with the Rift attached, cant see it being any different for the Vive.

Def got Balanced option selected in Power Settings?

I had that problem on my Sandy Bridge board (not Vive related though), and it turned out to be a problem between Win 10 and me not updating the bios since I originally bought it. Once bios update later and problem solved, so that could be worth a shot if you're running an old MB.

What does task manager say it using the processor when steamvr is running?

Check if your pc is in performance mode in power savings. I found the rift was changing my power savings from balanced to performance. Sometimes when i turned off the rift, my pc would be stuck in performance and i had to change back to manual. Now it happens automatically.
