Issues with GPU power constraints
Issues with GPU power constraints
hi all, i'm currently having an issue with my desktop that i cant wrap my brain around. i'll first detail my build. x570 motherboard 5900x cpu 32gig ram 2666mhz 1080ti 11gig 1200watt power supply i'll explain the problem as clear as i can, ive always gamed and had no problems with my 100hz 35inch widescreen and 2 24inch sidescreens. i replaced those sidescreens with another 34inch 144hz screen and use the 100hz now as sidescreen. right after i started expiriencing fps problems in games, my fps would be max 20fps. After hours of trouble shooting and even disconnecting each screen seperate aswel as setting the sidescreen to 50hz, turning of hdr and gsync off, i seem to have found the problem or a problem but i have no clue on how to fix this. on startup my hardware monitor says my gpu is hitting power limit without any load. i know utilization limit is normal when no heavy loads are needed but power limit instantly without load? and also sometimes seems to hit the reliable voltage limit. now the current "fix" i found to this is rebooting the desktop and as soon as i log into windows loadup a game and see if i have 60fps in the game menu and then i can play. if i see lower like 20fps max then its still not working. also when i lookup the section "clocks" on hwmonitor my graphic clock seems normal 1987mhz, my video clock aswel at 1683mhz but my memory clock is always stuck at 5508mhz it never goes up or down when the bug is active or when its not. i'm at a loss atm as to what is causing this and what todo, i thought my screens were the problem since it started right after the install of my new screen but even with my old 100hz plugged in alone it still does the power limit bug. help is much appreciated!!
I didn't realize I had a custom looped watercooled setup with my CPU, motherboard, and GPU all connected together. The GPU temperatures stay consistently between 50-60°C.
Sure, I understand. I’ll need a card, some waterblock, and it should cost more than what I want to spend. I’m trying to fix this issue, okay? 😊
