I7-8750h Doesnt utilize itself fully.

[Usama-BME]

I have HP pavilion Gaming15. It has i7-8750h processor with 16gb of ram and 256gb ssd in which OS is installed. also has 1TB hdd with Geforce 1050TI. 

I am a student and basicallly bought this high ended processor to use for simulations and stuff. But the problem is it never utilizes itself to its full even half. it goes like 20 to 30 percent max 40% with clock speed of 1 to 2 ghz with max going sometime to 3ghz

remember my friend has the same specs but he has lenovo legion y530 but when he runs the software (ANSYS FLUENT) to be precise for simulations iterations while utilizing all 12 processors. its running almost at max of 90% with clock toucing 3.91ghz.

Cant get of out this problem. I bought laptop specifically for this purpose. but when it neevr utilizes it self to full then the process that would take normally 5 mins for this processor for running simulations takes 1 hour...and thats sad for me .........his purpose but it isnt helping

Hello @Usama-BME 

I don't know if anyone here on this forum will know anything about that software. You will probably have better results asking their support about their software and how it utilizes the CPU.

I can offer a couple suggestions maybe...

Make sure your Power Options is set to High Performance...

A quick Google search found a site that mentioned that with using the Ansys software, that there may be a setting for its core count utilization...  https://studentcommunity.ansys.com/thread/configuring-from-2-core-to-4-core-processor-for-ansys-18-2...

Hope it helps.
