What is the problem

Hi,

So I've been using qbittorrent for a long time now my previous CPU was Ryzen 7 1700 everything worked great there. I got a Ryzen 5900X the other day and the problem I have is whenever qbittorrent is opened the Precision Over Boost detects it as some high priority program and pumps the voltage of the cpu to 1.46-1.47 all cores which leads to 50 degrees celsius idle temps it doesn't matter if I am uploading or downloading anything. I've tried making the I/O Thread count higher or lower doesn't affect it. I've tried putting the priority of the program in windows to low doesn't work. I don't know if this issue can be solved by changing the code of the program or it will be resolved in Precision Boost 2.0 which should come to AMD processors this month in form of motherboard firmware. I am open to suggestion for a work around if anyone got one :)

What is the expected behavior

Steps to reproduce

Need to have a ryzen 5000 CPU

Extra info(if any)
