Hi,

I am a bit disappointed that the DeskMini H470 Base Frequency Boost gives zero performance improvement (according to various benchmarks) and am wondering if I have "missed" a setting...

I have selected the following BIOS settings:
1 - Base Frequency Boost 90W
2 - Adapter set to 180W (actual AC/DC adapter: 19.5v 9.23A, barely gets warm)
3 - Performance mode selected

I have tried 1 and 2 (above) set to Auto, with no difference.

CPUID HWMonitor shows all temps well within safe levels, even when stressing the i5 10600 CPU max temp is holding below 80oC (Noctua NH-L9i with 25mm Fan).

I have reported to Euro Support, but they don't have a test unit and have referred to question to Taiwan, but after ~4 days no response as yet.

Any suggestions or assistance will be appreciated.
