➡️ The processor overheats (100°C), without causing a significant drop in performance.

The maximum temperature (100°C) does not seem to significantly impact the computer's processor performance.

Use common sense.
UserDiag tests the components by generating a certain load, but maybe your daily usage does not heat up as much.
Also check the temperatures during normal use (in your favorite game/software, for example).
If everything seems fine, there may not be a problem.
For comparison, this processor in other "rapide" diagnostics reaches 90°C on average.

However, if you think the temperature is too high and it shouldn't heat up that much, here are some tips:

- Depending on the overheating, simply opening the computer case may be enough.

- Otherwise, first check that the processor's cooling system (heatsink or AIO/water cooling) is working.
If everything seems correct visually but the problem persists, check that the cooling system is properly attached.

- To check the attachment, turn off your computer and open the case.
Remove the processor's cooling system, checking that it was properly attached.
Also check that the thermal paste was spread over the entire surface of the processor.
Reattach the cooling system by applying a pea-sized amount of thermal paste on the processor, then secure it properly.
Run a new diagnostic to see if the problem is resolved.

If the problem persists and you are unsure:
- Recheck that the cooling system is properly attached and in contact with the processor.
- In the case of an AIO/water cooling, check that it is not defective by touching the tubes, if one is hot and the other cold, for example.
- Depending on the choice of processor, it is possible that the current cooling is not sufficient depending on the usage.
- If you have doubts, do not hesitate to ask for help from a competent person.

➡️ The XMP profile (also called DOCP or EXPO) of the RAM is not enabled.
Enabling it can improve performance.

To enable the RAM's XMP profile (also called DOCP or EXPO), please follow this tutorial.

Note: If you cannot find the option in the BIOS and your PC is an OEM brand (HP Omen, Dell, Lenovo, etc.), it is possible that the option is not available.

💔 Some discouraged practices have been identified
System modifications : MaintenanceDisabled, TRIM, DisablePagingExecutive, LargeSystemCache
Modified power plan : EXM Free Power Plan V5

Here are the details of the identified bad practices:

System modifications :
- The system task MaintenanceDisabled has been disabled.
This task is necessary to maintain the system, both software and hardware.
It cleans temporary files, improves the lifespan and performance of SSDs, etc..
There is absolutely no reason to disable it. It is even totally counterproductive, do not do this.
If you want to know more, you can watch this video.

- TRIM on your SSDs has been disabled.
This feature is necessary to improve the lifespan and performance of your SSDs.
There is absolutely no reason to disable it. It is even totally counterproductive, do not do this.
If you want to know more, you can watch this video.

- The registry key DisablePagingExecutive has been modified.
This registry key does not need to be modified today, as it does not improve performance.
In older versions of Windows, it was used by developers to test their applications (drivers).
Avoid following "optimization" tutorials that advise random things.
Link to the official Microsoft documentation regarding this registry key: available here.

- The registry key LargeSystemCache has been modified.
This registry key is simply not used by Windows today.
In fact, this registry key was used by Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, but is no longer used since then.
Avoid following "optimization" tutorials that advise random things.
Link to the official Microsoft documentation regarding this registry key: available here.

Modified power plan :
- The "EXM Free Power Plan V5" power plan is a modified.
It works very well by default, there is no real benefit to installing such power plans for the processor.
You can watch this video to learn more about best practices.

What to do about these bad practices? :
- Given the modifications and installations made to your Windows installation, it is highly recommended to reinstall Windows properly.
This will allow you to start with a clean, stable base, without the risk of issues.
A clean installation of Windows, with the correct drivers and settings, is sufficient to have a performant and stable system.
Everything else is just false promises, bad practices, and increases the risk of problems without any performance gain.
Windows is not really an operating system meant to be tinkered with.
You can watch this tutorial, which explains how to reinstall Windows properly.

Boot mode >Boot modeBoot mode of the computer:
- Legacy (old mode)
- UEFI (recent mode)
UEFI

TPM >TPMThe TPM is a component (physical module on the motherboard or emulated by the processor) that allows secure storage of information.

Specifically, it can store encryption keys, certificates, biometric data, etc.

For example, it is used to encrypt storage with BitLocker or unlock the computer with Windows Hello.

Some anti-cheat software for video games can also use it to confirm the integrity of the game and the system.
Active

Secure Boot >Secure BootThis is a security option available in the BIOS.
Secure Boot ensures that the computer boots only with a verified operating system.

This setting may be required by some game anti-cheats (Valorant, FIFA).
Inactive

Boot duration >Boot durationBoot duration is the time elapsed between pressing the power button and the motherboard returning POST OK (successful hardware check).

This can be useful for identifying a slow boot issue.
(long memory training in DDR5, for example).

A boot duration of around ten seconds is normal.

Note that this period occurs before Windows starts.
Applications that launch at Windows startup do not affect this duration.

Fast startup >Fast startupWindows Fast startup allows older computers to boot faster.

Sometimes this mode (enabled by default) can be the source of issues such as LEDs staying on, or crashes at startup with incompatible drivers.
Inactive

Uptime >UptimeUptime is the time elapsed since the last Windows startup.
This information can be useful to determine how long it has been since Windows was last restarted.

Note that if Fast Startup is enabled in Windows settings, shutting down the computer will actually put it into a hibernation state.

Therefore, Windows only fully shuts down during a restart.
(by clicking on restart and not on shutdown)

As a result, you may sometimes observe high uptimes of several days, even if the computer is regularly shut down and turned on.

However, if Fast Startup is disabled, the computer will fully shut down during shutdown, and the uptime will be reset with each startup.
9h 38min

VBS >VBSVirtualization-Based Security (VBS) is a security feature in Windows.

Its purpose is to protect certain parts of Windows by isolating them from the rest. It may be enabled by default on compatible Windows 11 installations.

It can also be activated if core integrity in Windows Defender is enabled, when using WSL2, or other virtual machine-related features.

However, this feature may slightly reduce performance when enabled.
This option only protects against certain complex vulnerabilities. It will not protect you from a cryptocurrency miner or password theft, etc.

Microsoft advises gamers, if they wish, to disable this option. (More information)
Active

Antivirus >AntivirusCurrently active antivirus on your computer.

Ideally, it is better to use something like Windows Defender, which is relatively effective and already integrated by default in Windows, or use a third-party antivirus of your choice.

However, it is advisable to avoid less recommended antiviruses like Avast, Norton, McAfee, Iobit, etc., which are known for collecting your personal data rather than protecting you.

Number of cores/threads >24 / 32

Background usage >5%

Power plan >EXM Free Power Plan V5

Base frequency >3.20 GHz

Frequencies min/max >0.01 GHz / 5.70 GHz

PL2 / PL1 >PL2 / PL1Power Limits allow limiting the processor's power consumption to reduce the generated heat.
Example image (anandtech.com)

When these limits are reached, the processor will reduce its frequency to stay within the limit.

The purpose is to allow the processor to operate at a certain power level for a short period, then limit it a few seconds later.

Power Limit 2 (PL2) is the maximum power the processor can consume for a short period (a few tens of seconds).

Power Limit 1 (PL1) is the same but kicks in once the PL2 duration has elapsed.

By default, these are values recommended by the processor manufacturer and chosen by the motherboard manufacturer.

A value above 4000 W is not a bug, it means the power limit is disabled.
(Value too high to be reached, so it never applies)
