throttling

Hi, Just last night I replaced my i7-13700kf (Fried through 8 months of abuse with the Intel stuff) with a new i9-14900k. The system runs fine and at first I didn't notice any problems, it's completely usable and doesn't crash. The throttling is clear during benchmarks/stress tests. Intel XTU...

I got a gaming laptop a couple weeks ago and an issue that reaks of power throttling keeps cropping up. While in game, sometimes the RTX 4060 GPU is completely useless. 210mhz core clock that doesn't budge and 0 fps even on youtube. GPU-Z tells me there's a power throttling issue. Tried DDU...

Hello! I built my pc about 3/4 years back with a ryzen 5 3600 and only really used the stock cpu fan and the single stock fan that came with the case, my pc cooonstantly gets dusty and the CPU temp idles at 70 whilst going straight to 95 upon opening a game (the maximum) including alerts when...

So a year ago, I bought a Dell Latitude 7390. It has an i7 8650u, 16 gigs of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. I bought the laptop because of it's specs. However, I didn't realise the laptop had a severe case of poor cooling. When I play Rblox and other games, I can't even play above two graphic bars or...

Hi everyone, so the issue is that my ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX582 laptop keeps throttling its performance whenever I unplug the power supply, put the laptop on sleep, and then replug the power supply. Let me elaborate on what this usually looks like: 1. I unplug the laptop, close the lid 2. I...

Firstly, I'm talking about my wife's Samsung Style S20, a 2016 notebook with a 5th generation Intel (obviously not officially compatible with Windows 11). It's modest, with a I5-5200U, 4GB and 256GB of solded SSD sata. The notebook was mine before, and it was smooth running Windows 10. After I...

Hello everyone, I'd very much like to get some feedback from you knowledgeable folks. My CPU is running too hot and throttling. My goal here would be to stabilize my system and get my CPU to run with as good a temp as it is realistically possible with my current hardware. From there, I'd very...

Hi everyone. While my laptop is connected to the AC adapter, my dGPU is limited to 50 watts and my CPU goes up to 80 watts momentarily and 45-50 watts under sustained load; And both of these are normal according to specs. Going forward, when it's not connected to the AC, the dGPU is imited...

Hello everyone, I recently bought a second-hand i7-8700 processor and it's worked fine for a few weeks until recently, where I noticed the PC dumping out lots more hot air than usual, causing my room to be seriously hot and uncomfortable to be in. Upon further investigation, the CPU...

For the past two weeks I've had, all of a sudden, higher than usual CPU temps. My 5900x is now going all the way up to 90°C while gaming and under high stress scenarios (Benchmarking, Unreal Engine), sometimes even just using Firefox. I first noticed this issue while playing Fortnite, because...

Hey guys, im looking for some help with my PC's performance, mostly because i dont have the best knowledge about what's normal and what should be normal. Anyway, before i forget, my pc specs: CPU: Intel core i5-7600 3.50Ghz 4 cores- with intel hd graphics 630 RAM:16gb (2x8 ddr4 1200Mhz)...

I have a 2600x and it sits at around 4-4.1ish ghz at all times but when I launch Apex Legends it goes down to 3.6 GHz. I tried to manually OC it to 4 but whatever is causing the throttling overrides it. It doesn't do it in any other games and it's not like it gradually goes down. As soon as I...

Hi everyone. Wanted to see if you can help me as I'm desperate. I pay for a 200mbps download internet and usually get that or more when I test to the optimal server (in my country) but when I test anywhere else I get 10% of that speed all the time. And this is only happening on one device. So...

Hi! I am new to this forum. Thought it would be a good place to ask this question. Recently purchased an acer aspire 7 laptop with an i5 10300H , 8GB Ram along with a GTX 1650. And while gaming on High Performance Power Plan while plugged in, I notice my CPU temps hitting around 78-80 degrees...

Hi, I was looking for some advice. I have a feeling this is something to do with the VRMs maybe. This laptop had an overheating problem due to really old thermal paste and a fan that was almost totally blocked. I have since cleaned the paste off. Reapplied new paste and cleaned out the fans...

Nothing comes up on screen and fans throttle from get go. Caps lock led is blinking twice in an interval so its a bios issue but how do I update bios without anything on screen? Fairly old laptop too

Hello People of Tom's Hardware! I have had this issue for awhile with overheating. It would thermal throttle quite a bit at 4.9Ghz (basically any demanding application: Premiere Pro, any triple A video game etc.). Utilizing the intel extreme tuning utility, I turned the turbo clock down to 4.5...

I just bought a brand new xps 9500 and I am having difficulties play a game for more than 10 minutes. Everything starts out a 40w each then it throttles the cpu to 15w. My issue is then it cuts the wattage to the gpu to 20w after and my frames become horrendous. I start out getting 60frames and...

After hitting 80 degrees the cpu just throttles to 398 Mhz from the 3090Mhz and after exactly 5-10 secs, it goes up again. What is the solution to this? I'm using a dedicated laptop cooler underneath. The gpu and other components have ideal temps.

Hello, excuse me for this is the first time posting to these forums. I have used them many times as an outlet to find answers and solutions for problems, but this time around, I am at a complete loss. A few days ago, My CPU started throttling down violently. "Maximum Frequency" Dropping...

I own a Acer Nitro 7 AN715-51 model gaming laptop (Intel i5-9300H). Recently I noticed that while running games or any other benchmarks my cpu clock speed drops from the usual 3.9 Ghz to 2.0 GHz or even lower and stays there. As soon as the application or game is closed or minimized the clock...

Hello, my 6 month old laptop started underperforming recently. Most likely its bc of thermal throttling but i'm not sure. I've done a furmark bench just when i bought it. The performance was stable and around 70 fps. Now my gpu after it heats up to around 76 celsius and then dramaticaly drops...

Hi everyone, I have just bought a new rig and trying to push the limits a little bit further and try to learn how overclocking works generally. I used to use easy apps in the old times to " guarenteed OC " for my former PC. Since i do not have any experience, i'm scared of playing around with...

MB: Intel DH67BL CPU: i7 2600k So a little bit of context, my stock cooler reached 90c at full load, but still continued to run at 3.4ghz. I wanted to reduce temperatures, so I bought a Cooler Master Hyper T20. My 100% load now is only as hot at 75c, but for some reason now, my MOBO decided to...

My GPU seems to have a load clock frequency of ~1500 MHz, but when I run games, I see the number plummet to around 400 MHz, and sometimes it drops to below 200 MHz. Naturally this results in some terrible FPS and general unplayablilty in my games on my laptop. Before anyone offers any advice, I...
