I’m don’t have high temps but I am experiencing some performance issues with low gpu usage and think it’s linked to this but I need any help I can get

honest wolf
#

hey, what cpu do you have

#

does your cpu normally run at 0.8 ghz or is this sudden

fluid kite
#

I have a Ryzen 7 5700x and this is my first of build and I only built it a couple weeks ago so I guess it’s always been like this

honest wolf
#

oh yeah that should not be running that slow

#

mind if I see your build? like a photo

fluid kite

#

under high temperatures, the cpu will reduce clock speed to avoid overheating issues

#

faulty cooler could be one reason

fluid kite
#

It’s not high temps though

honest wolf
#

go into your bios first thing, take a look at the clock speeds, and see if its possible to manage it through there

#

if your cpu is running that slow its 100% bottle necking your gpu

Ratio*

honest wolf
#

send me a photo, your pc, bios, anything you think would help

#

and also

#

did you check that clock speed while you were in a game or outside of it

#

windows might be throttling your cpu, if you were just idling it might have just been that frequency for a bit

fluid kite
#

I was outside of game but I’m pretty sure it’s always like that anyway as I’m experiencing some serious ingame issues with my gpu anyway and I’m 90% sure this is why

#

I checked it in bios and task manager

fluid kite
honest wolf
#

thats fine

#

I dont think I can do any more than that, if it isnt overheating or being throttled I dont believe I know enough to help much

fluid kite
#

Damn okay

fluid kite
honest wolf
#

most likely not the cpu

#

possibly the mobo

#

if the cpu was fault in most cases the computer itself wont display anything or run programs

#

bc it wont be able to retrieve and read data from the ssd or hdd

fluid kite
#

So might be a faulty motherboard?

honest wolf
#

possibly but talk to someone else before that, I only know so muc

#

much*

fluid kite
#

Ah okay sure

honest wolf
#

sorry I couldnt help more

There are few ways poppin in my head as a basic troubleshoot.

  1. Restore defaults in BIOS
  2. Check your CPU temps in BIOS if not avalaible check it thru program like Core Temp.
  3. Just in case get your PC cleaned and change thermal paste. Check if the fans are spinning and if there is nothing loose like cable or the heatsink itself.
  4. I would try to run cinebench to see if its overheating issue after that, see if your CPU clocks higher or its just lazy as that.

If your cpu shows no temps it can be faulty sensor on mobo. Happens.
Update drivers, check for BIOS update and try again

#

But AMD 5700x should base clock at 3.2 minimum. Might be faulty motherboard hope not cpu tho which doesnt happen often

#

True, when i run into problem, update all, if not working, reinstall whole windows and usualy it fix everything.

#

Might be some clogged up software doing this

honest wolf
#

chances are it the motherboard, if none of the debug lights are on, might be worth looking into

#

bit of an expensive and difficult replacement tho

loud jay
#

Its simpliest to clean reinstall

#

Always do the simpliest tasks one by one if that fails than asume mobo is fkd

#

Ya. Less tech savy replacing mobo needs an expert qho knows what to do

honest wolf
#

he could also try wiping the drive as a last resort, if he has bloatwear constantly running on his pc ive seen stuff like that happen

#

reset cmos

honest wolf
#

still dont think it would make it run at 0.8 ghz

#

so probably not but who knows

honest wolf
lament anvil
#

possible its just a misconfigured setting in the bios

honest wolf
#

mainly bc some of the connections were in different places so alot of cable rerouting

lament anvil
#

resetting cmos would fix this

honest wolf

#

I can do it in 30 minutes but i have fair number of them on my hands bit can never bee to carefull

#

Cmos reset is option i wanted and forgot to wrote yes can help usualy does
