Issue with low GPU and CPU clock speeds.
Issue with low GPU and CPU clock speeds.
You're a graphics professional working with a mid-range system. Your setup includes an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with six cores, 16 GB RAM, and a 64-bit OS. The graphics card is a GeForce GTX 1650. Recently, you experienced unusual sounds and noticed performance issues. After running a memory diagnostic, the results indicated no problems. However, your monitor displays strange noises, and audio recordings show increasing clicking sounds that intensify over time.
Your display doesn’t indicate any unusual activity. It appears normal for a computer that’s mostly idle, with CPU and GPU operating at typical speeds. It might not be a hardware fault, but rather something like a fan issue or misinterpretation of data. Are there any real performance concerns?
I understand it doesn’t run nonstop, but I’ve logged it in BIOS and it lists around 2000MHz, which is correct. However, when I open software on the desktop, it doesn’t show that number, and in GeForce Experience it displays something else. During my graphics design work, if I launch a high-end particle effect video, the computer suddenly stops working unexpectedly.
It might be because the software isn’t demanding enough processing power to boost performance. The CPU utilization is only 2%, which suggests it’s running at its lowest possible capacity in that scenario. Under a stress test like Cinebench, GPU fans typically shut off to save energy. This behavior is common with modern hardware.
I forgot to note that detail, but I’ll keep it in mind. I’m planning to push it in MSSI afterburner now.
