    Question New PC Build

    I recently built a new PC and now after a few weeks of having it whenever I run a benchmark or a stress test my cpu immediately starts to thermal throttle. I just uninstalled and re-download my drivers and bios. I think it could be a bad cpu mount or the power supply not being powerful enough...

    Question When I exit a program GPU-Z marks my PerfCap Reason as Thermal Throttling is that something to worried about?

    Just got a used EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra today and was checking it out in GPU Z. It seems to be working great except for the topic title. The clock speed doesn't fluctuate massively and the GPU hasn't gone above 80C in all of my benchmarks, but it still has me a little freaked out. In this...

    [SOLVED] Should Cinebench R23 throttle Noctua NH-d15 with 13700k (non oc) ?

    Program: Cinebench R23 10minute throttle test, but it starts throttling after a minute only, then it kinda shifts in and out of throttling repeatedly and I was worried to let the full 10 minutes complete, so I stopped it..(is it safe to let it finish? even though its hitting 100c?)...
