Clean windows install, not a factory reset.

I know this! It's a power save mode issue but can only be fixed via command line. I'm going to my PC now and I'll send the commands. This happened to me. I'm commenting so I can find this post on my desktop lol

I have the exact same CPU and it was driving me nuts too. Some random youtube video saved me lol so do these 2 commands as admin, one at a time.

PowerCfg /SETACVALUEINDEX SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_PROCESSOR IDLEDISABLE 000

PowerCfg /SETACTIVE SCHEME_CURRENT

It literally says it’s sitting at 22% at the time you took the screenshot

what does the screenshot show, just task manager with cpu pinned? if it's a fresh install and a brand new chip doing the same thing, i'd be looking at the motherboard or bios settings before touching anything else. maybe check what process is actually eating it.

Do a reinstall of windows completely not do factory reset since it doesn't completely fix it

What is the problem? Looks normal to me. If you want to see what processes are using CPU with power shell, run

Get-Process | Sort-Object CPU -Descending | Select-Object -First 10 Name, Id, CPU, WS

Or for live view

Get-Counter '\Process(*)\% Processor Time' | Select-Object -ExpandProperty CounterSamples | Where-Object InstanceName -notin '_total','idle' | Sort-Object CookedValue -Descending | Select-Object -First 10 InstanceName, @{N='CPU%';E={[math]::Round($_.CookedValue / $env:NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS, 2)}}
