I5 10400F runs at full capacity during games, causing FPS drops. Immediate action needed.
Hi, I recently purchased a brand new PC: an I510400f 16GB 2666MHz CL16 (2 sticks), MSI 6600XT 500GB NVMe Biostar H510 motherboard. Two days ago everything worked fine in Warzone, achieving around 120 FPS at low settings with smooth performance. The GPU was consistently at 95-100% and CPU around 65-80%. Recently, I noticed changes: in Warzone FPS dropped to about 100 with significant drops to 70. GPU usage stayed under 80%, but CPU usage climbed to around 100%. I tried Elden Ring too, experiencing similar issues—FPS fell to 70 while GPU usage reached 75% and CPU was at 50%. A screenshot from Warzone is attached.
Check the Intel XTU download to confirm the cause of throttling. Generally, the H510 performs poorly, and Biostar components are unreliable, suggesting the issue lies with the board itself.
