Hey all,
Last night I got a slight upgrade to my CPU, but that isn't the issue I am having.
I decided to dust off my case and fans (and GPU fan while I was at it). Because I had leftover thermal paste, I thought I might put a fresh coat on the GPU too, so I started removing the screws on the front of the GPU but then I decided it was too much of a bother so I just put tightened those screws back.
When I got done putting the pc back together, I ran 3D Mark for a benchmark.
I was expecting a slight increase in my 3dMark score, but instead it PLUMMETED. You can see the results here
I'm so confused because the gpu is clearly still running, but at a much much worse state.
I can't figure out for the life of me what the problem is. Please help!
EDIT: figured it out, fan is not adjusting speed. Is there a fix?
