    Why would my studio 1558 throttle down this much?

    Sometimes it drops to around 1200mhz and never goes back up until I restart, but today it was the worse, 399mhz!!

    How come it does this? Why isn't there a setting to make it so it never throttles ever? And it's not a power settings issue (power saver, performance etc). I've tried all the obvious stuff.

    Try to reinstall Intel Engine Management Interface Driver?

    You could also disable EIST.
