sudden loss of performance
sudden loss of performance
i have been playing allot of games recently and bought myself a new rtx 2060, a z370-a Pro, and a new I7 8700K and it has been working fine untill like last week. i just started my pc one day and noticed that as i was playing dying light my fps was only 100 on average when it used to be around 144 capped. i was hearing loud noises on startup from that day on so i naturally thought that my sshd had broke or something. so i ordered a new samsung 860 evo but the sound was still there. i later noticed that it was a fan making sound from underneath the harddrive so i might think that the problems might be a cooling problem now. any ideas?
Edit: i have allso just noticed that in the task manager my GPU would only go to about 20% even tho it is definitely using more than that since i get about 80-100 fps in forza horison 4 with high graphics settings
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, using different wording:
“Let’s address the power supply situation. You have a potentially problematic unit currently feeding your RTX 2060. Given the card's needs and your current PSU's condition, it’s likely underperforming and could be a source of instability. A robust 500W PSU is generally recommended for this setup – something like a Seasonic Focus Plus would offer better reliability and headroom.
Specifically, I noticed the fan connection; it was routed directly to the motherboard – that's not ideal. Connecting fans through a fan hub is far superior as it isolates potential issues from the main system.
It’s possible the PSU itself may be failing, potentially causing damage to other components, including the fan. A reliable power supply like the Seasonic Focus Plus would provide a safer and more stable environment for your GPU.”
Is that just a case fan?
Can you see why the fan is doing that noise?
Has you tried to unplug particular fan?
Temps looks good so far. One case fan shouldn't be a reason of such performance drop
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and flow:
“I ran a benchmark test in Forza Horizon 4, achieving approximately 100 FPS on average and 80 FPS at the lowest point. Before, I had consistently seen over 144 FPS, but then I began to hear a noticeable noise, which seemed to coincide with a decline in performance.”
yea disconnecting that fan removes the sound but the performance problem is still there so i think i might just send my graphics card back and get a new one
ps: sorry for late response

The power supply unit is a Liteon PS-7501-5. It’s a 750W unit. The fan for this PSU is located on the top front of the NZXT H440 case.
