I just finished building my boyfriend's new PC for him (specs below) and I'm going through the obligatory process of OC'ing and seeing how far I can push it. Haven't touched the CPU yet as I'm missing a cable that allows me to manually control the AIO pump and fans (in the post as we speak), but in the meantime I'm having a crack at the GPU. However I've immediately hit a curios snag wherein as I increase the fan speed it seems to lower the GPU clock?? I've not even touched the clocks yet, I was just fiddling with the fan to find a balance between performance and volume when I happened to notice the clocks.
E.g:
- Fan speed @25% = 1101mhz
- Fan speed @50% = 1063mhz
- Fan speed @75% = 1025mhz
- Fan speed @100% = 886mhz
As you can see this is quite unusual and I wondered if anyone has had a similar experience? These results are repeatable and predictable even after reboot. As it's a new build it's a fresh install of Windows (10) and the most up to date drivers are installed. Any advice would be most appreciated! I'm not going to bother increasing clocks until I figure out what's going on with this first.
Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Corsair H100i
Asus ROG Strix B550-F
16gb Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO @ 2133mhz
EVGA GTX 970 SC 4gb
500gb Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVME (Boot)
4tb Seagate Iron Wolf (Data)
Corsair TX850 PSU
Notes: I'm aware that the PSU is overkill, it's what he had installed in his old system so we just carried it over. I'm also aware that the GPU is VERY outdated now, however so was the rest of his system before he wanted to upgrade (3rd gen i7) and given the current state of the GPU market I convinced him to hold off on a GPU for now until things stabilize later this year (hopefully, ha ha). Those are the only 2 components carried over from his old system, everything else is brand new off the shelf.
