I've built a new PC using an i7-13700K CPU and Asus Z790 motherboard. The BIOS is set to defaults except that I set a maximum CPU temperature of 85C, a Short Duration Package Power Level 200W and Long Duration Package Power Level 125W.
On running Cinebench R23 I get a decent benchmark score c. 29000 and see the thermal limit 85C applied. After a minute or so the score reduces about 10% and the CPU temperature drops under 85C. What's going on here to limit performance?
