It reduced the temperature by 30°? So it originally was "lightly loaded" and running at 60-70° C?

More like 80-90 before and around 50 afterward.

This is a boring NVR workload with a bit of GPU usage, with total system utilization around 10% with turbo off. Apparently the default behavior is to turbo from the normal ~3GHz up to 5.4GHz, and I don’t know why the results were quite so poor.

This is an i9-13900H (Minisforum MS-01) machine, so maybe it has some weird tuning for gaming workloads? Still seems a bit pathetic. I have not tried monitoring the voltages with turbo on and off to understand exactly why it’s performing quite so inefficiently.
