Solved! GPU High power usage

My OCCT was old. Downloaded the latest. Ran it then started Elite Dangerous. The GPU did not get much hotter than usual except GPU Hot Spot temp got to 67.84 The CPU got up to 94 max but sat around the 80 mark for most time. The FPS sits at 120 normally, but dropped to as low as 64 and moved...

Solved! GPU High power usage

The OCCT ran first with details of the CPU. I then opened the GPU tab, but nothing happened, and the graph started on the CPU again. My OCCT is not a paid one. Could that be the problem?

Solved! GPU High power usage

Not overclocking. Did try OC the cpu but rolled it back to 4ghz I agree memtest to check RAM. I need to play a game that is hard on the machine, but got the feeling Elite Dangerous is the only one. And the wattage in HWmonitor64 seems fine. Same as temperatures. I wonder can a game cause this...

Solved! GPU High power usage

GPU VRM (in/out) was a max of 40 watts. The Max temp was 44 degrees. GPU memory allocated was 3764 MB. (max) CPU temp max was 70 degrees. Have not seen it yet, but had better play witcher 3 and see if that happens.

Solved! GPU High power usage

Stuka87, My sig should show the details of my rig. The power supply is Corsair HX850. Now I'm not sure how old it is. Also, the CPU is 4000mhz not 4400. Any specific details extra you need please ask. And thanks for reply. Also saying normal was probably a stupid comment. Strange that I see my...

Solved! GPU High power usage

Ajay, those amounts are from the task manager list. I don't understand what is good or bad, just trying to figure out a fix. System ram is 2 sticks of 8gig each. Saying normal was probably a stupid comment.

Solved! GPU High power usage

Playing Elite Dangerous, freeze occurs. I use task manager to stop game .EXE In Task Manager, the memory usage is very high, and the GPU power usage is very high. Everything seems normal. For the record I have asked in Guru 3D and OCCLub forums but no answers. Task Mngr: CPU 5.6%, Mem' 40%...

Dumb yet technical question: Heatpipes

One question was: How can liquid vaporize before boiling point. Not the exact words but for future reference try to remember that when heatpipes (things that pipe heat from point A to point B) are manufactured, a partial vacuum chamber or partial pressure chamber is used. Can't believe you...

Will I blow up my wife's laptop if I use a slightly different AC adaptor?

Maybe it will blow up! Get a video running so we can ROFL if it happens.

Sabertooth 990fx oc question

Hi, I have the 965BE at 3.96ghz and Corsair 1600 at 1600. In the BIOS: The CPU bus frequency had to be set at 240 and Multi at 16.5. The PCIe is 100. The CPU/NB is 2400 and the HT is 2400. I was given this OC by an NVIDIA member. Try that and see how you go.

Anyone dealt with via onboard audio before?

I have used onboard sound since ... um ... whenever. I can't afford $800 speakers, so my Logitech 530's have to do. I can hear it. That's the main thing.

My 8150 Bulldozer experience - so far!

Hi, Just been reading about Bulldozer. No, I wont buy one. But what you all have said is interesting and sad at the same time. Just for comparisons: I game. I don't work. I'm retired. Didn't work to well before, either. My PII 965BE runs at 3.96ghz and 1.5V. Idle temp is 29 at ambient of 20C. I...
