Solved! Dell G5 5500 (2020 10th gen intel)

[homemadewaffles]

hi i just purchased a new dell g5 laptop(I believe the model number for 2020 is 5500).
It has the rtx 2070 max q and Intel 10th gen i7-10750

My question is about the idle temperatures and clock speeds.
At idle the system is seeing cpu Temps of 60-70°C and GPU Temps 55-60°C.
This is at 5% CPU usage and 0% GPU usage. Absolutely nothing running.

Are these temps normal?
Also for some reason, even when idling, the CPU is constantly at 4.4-4.5 GHZ and memory is at 30% usage.

I am using the dell balanced power plan and in the alienware software I have it set to balanced
