I have almost the exact copy of your system and recently have been getting memory warnings and notice my Intel Power Gadget pinned at 50 using 66% CPU. The item that causes this is called Systemextr, found in Activity Monitor, and seems to trigger this behavoir as well as the memory issues. I looked online and found some suggestions but no clear explanation of what it does and do I need this application. Did most of the suggestions and nothing changed. I have several ssd's in my unit and have the same issue with Mojave as in Catalina although the Catalina is an update of Mojave with most of the same apps etc. I think the memory issues started last fall and only recently noticed my power usage and overclocked issues. Any ideas appreciated and if no appropriate for this forum let me know where to post this.
