    [SOLVED] Every game runs at 12%~ CPU usage and 100% GPU usage - - - how do i fix this ?

    I just can't get the issue. I updated the BIOS and the GPU/CPU. I even reinstalled Windows a few times to see if it fixes the issues but that didn't help, It could be thermal throttling but since I'm not some genius i thought maybe somebody could fix my issue ?

    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...

    Question Cooler for Ryzen 5 7600x

    There not many options at my location, but I was wondering if the ID SE-226-XT would be fine for the R5 7600x? Other option could be the Be Quiet Shadow Rock 3 or Dark Rock Slim for a few dollars more, but then other cooler are twice as much and not worth the price in my opinion

    [SOLVED] Why my GTX 1080 Ti runs hot under no load ?

    I just bought a used 1080Ti and noticed under full load it was reaching temperatures of high 70s using the normal fan curve, so I created a more aggressive one with the fans at about 75% to keep it to low 70s. That's fine but the fans are pretty loud at this level. To test the heat dissipation...

    [SOLVED] Audio crackling with high load (possibly temperature related?)

    My PC has had this issue for a long time (maybe since I built it) but I haven't bothered much to fix it because it is controllable and only happens under high loads. It is controllable because I am able to mitigate it pretty well just by letting the fans go full speed which leads me to believe...
