Question PC underperforming, dropping fps after a minute or two

[cabrilbaril]

My PC has been underperforming for a while and i can't understand why, even with games like Fallout 4 at the lowest settings has really low fps, what happen is, when I boot up the game (No matter which one) everything runs smooth but like after a minute or two the fps drops drastically to like 10/ 20 fps. Here are my specs

it's a asus ROG, i don't remember wich model I can look it up if it's relevant.

Is it a laptop or a desktop? If you have a desktop, look inside your case and you will see either a block with fans on it or a pump with tubes. This is your CPU cooler and we need to know what it is (brand and model). If you have a laptop then it's gonna be more complicated.

You should also monitor you CPU and GPU temperature with an overlay like Nvidia App or MSI Afterburner, or use a monitoring software like HWMonitor. According to the symptoms you describe, it really looks like something is overheating.

Did you check cpu temperatures with coretemp?

i didn't

i didn't

It would be helpful, if you could do that and show a screenshot.

BTW - your rear fan is not working. It may have died.
Also check, if fans on graphics card are spinning.

like this?

4% - 12% load per core and you have temperatures at 75C - 78C ?
Your cpu is overheating.
Your cpu cooler is garbage. Get yourself a new cpu cooler.

Something like

Deepcool AK400 or​

Cooler Master Hyper 212​

or similar.​

​

Did you look at fans on your graphics card ?
Are the fans spinning?

Is this your graphics card?
ASUS Phoenix GeForce RTX 3060

ye the fans are working on the gpu and that is indeed my gpu.
just ordered the Deepcool AK400 let's if it fixes the problem

 

[cabrilbaril]

and I ran a test playin a game now, and my gpu temp is at 92C, it could be maybe because my pc is duysty inside?

 

[cabrilbaril]

This happens, usually when I open games everything runs smoothly but then the fps drop and i think it's because GPU temp goes up too

Take the side panel off the case see if it makes a diff in temps.

Your rear exhaust fan has died.
Your pc doesn't have any intake fans.
There's simply no airflow.
Your pc case is not meant for gaming grade components.

Can you show photo of your pc from front?
You'd probably have to get a new modern pc case also - with mesh front and proper airflow.

the rear exhaust fan is working, it wasn't in the photo because i wasn't running anything on the pc I think

here's my pc front

you have any suggestions of a good pc case?

 

[SkyNetRising]

you have any suggestions of a good pc case?

Yeah. Your case has closed front. It's not suitable for a gaming pc.

There are plenty of excellent case options. Depends, how much you can spend.

Fractal Design - Meshify 2 Mini would be a good option.

Meshify 2 Mini

The Meshify 2 Mini offers an excellent combination of airflow and flexibility, in a form-factor optimized for mATX. The bold yet refined exterior design, with its asymmetric angular mesh front, is complemented by a flush TG panel and a fully removable top.
