I was facing thermal throttling at 100 degrees Celsius. Now I've set the power limits to Intel's default: PL1 to 125W, PL2 to 253W, and max current to 400A. The temperature is fine now, during the first 5-6 seconds of rendering, it takes 265W of power and hits 82 degrees. After 5-6 seconds, it drops to 124W and the temperature is only 55 degrees. but the problem is, I can't move my mouse or any windows while rendering. Also, in Task Manager, I see that the clock speed doesn't go over 4.5GHz. Am I setting it wrong, or is there another setting I should use?

My Specs:
14700K
MSI Z790 Gaming Plus
Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 AIO
NZXT H9 Flow Casing with 6 intake fans and 4 exhaust fans.

I wouldn't set to use all of my cores in any renderer. I would always leave at least one or two free to do other tasks Try setting your thread count to 26 or 27, and see how you get on.

I'm not an expert, but I use Bella Renderer and I have PL1/PL2 set to 253 Watts on a 13700K, always leaving a thread free for Windows.

That's a good idea that I didn't know about. Could you provide a good tutorial on how to set my BIOS to free up threads for Windows? I'm using an MSI motherboard. DoggoHeart

This is not a BIOS function, it will be within Vray settings or somewhere within Maya. Not sure where.
