GTX 1050 Ti overclocking issues causing throttling
My new AFox GTX 1050 Ti is performing poorly, likely due to an error during the overclocking process. I raised the core clock by 175 MHz and the memory clock by 725 MHz, while setting the fan speed to 75%. After a couple of days of overclocking, the performance dropped significantly. When I started FIFA 18, it became extremely laggy. The GPU temperature remained consistently high at around 65-70 degrees even when idle. I tried resetting the PC and reverting the clock speeds back to default, but the issue persisted. The temperature stayed elevated, preventing normal operation. Recently, I purchased this card about three weeks ago. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Windows might influence the temperature of your graphics card. If the heat rises significantly when the system is idle, I’ll check inside the case while the PC is running to verify if the fan is working properly for the GPU or if there’s an issue with the cooling components.
What’s the age of your video card? Also, consider downloading HWINFO and running it in sensor mode to validate the temperatures being reported by your graphics card.
The Paladin:
check your OC and try again—your throttling might be from overheating. I’d test without the OC first; it could need a fresh heatsink layer between the GPU and heatsink. I’ve cleared the OC and run it at default settings, but temperatures remain high. As soon as I power on the PC, it spikes to 66+ degrees instantly, even when idle. That’s puzzling. I bought the GPU about three weeks ago.
Could a new Windows installation undo all your changes and restore the system to its original state?
