If I disable speedstep on my i7 8700K and lock it at 5.0GHz, CPUZ shows it running at a steady 5.0Ghz. But my temps stay relatively low when little is running. Starting Prime 95 Torture Test though, it quickly heats up as you'd expect and cools back down when I stop the test. But the whole time, the frequency never moves from 5.0Ghz. Do you or anyone know what's going on there?

Idle cycles don't use much power.
