**Date:** 11/23/2020 **Issue Title:** Pimax system service preventing Intel 10th Gen CPU from boosting properly **Description:** My Intel Core i9 10900k won’t boost to its max frequency 5.3 GHz (Turbo Boost 3.0/Thermal velocity boost) when the PI Server service is running. It also won’t clock down to 800 MHz on idle. If I stop the service manually via Computer Management, the correct boosting behavior is restored. For a while now this boosting behavior is controlled through Windows/the OS and the PI Server seems to block something that is vital for this behavior. Or it somehow evokes an all-core boost state. This happens even if no headset is connected and Steam is not running. * * * **HMD Model:** 5k+ **First 3 Numbers Serial:** **Pitool Version:** 1.0.2.086V2 **HMD Firmware:** 2.1.255.255 (no headset needs to be connected for this issue to occur) **Tracking:** Lighthouse * * * ## System Info - **Windows Version** : Windows 10 2004 64bit - **CPU:** 10900k - **RAM:** 16GB DDR4 - **Motherboard:** Gigabyte Z490 Master - **GPU Model:** Zotac 2080ti Amp - **GPU Driver:** 457.30 (no game or VR application needs to run for this issue to occur) - **SteamVR Version:** latest (Steam does not need to run for this issue to occur) - **Oculus Version:** – * * * ## Attachments (Pics/Video etc…)
