I’ve been browsing the internet for repairs/fixes to this issue but my power supply always runs at total capacity even when there are no programs running. It’s clean, with no loose wires or screws, no malware, plenty of ventilation, updated drivers, etc. It’s seemingly okay and it’s relatively new (within a year).
I just did a fresh reinstall of windows and prior to that, there were no issues with it being noisy or running hard. I assume that’s partly the cause here but I’m not sure of the connection between the two. Does anyone here have other ideas? Thanks
I’m no expert, but my motherboard requires a 8 pug cpu power connector.
That has two sources or rails? For the 12 VT dc side. I had bought a 4 to 8 connector and/but had 400 that was under powered replacing my 500 that failed. Off/on temp issue.
I was not pushing the computer past the 2 settings in the wow menu. Until I received the 650. With the 400 it got hot inside case. And would thermal throttle my m.2 sad down and kick me to the desktop. For 3 to 5 sec then back in game/sometimes dead.
I bought a 650 with 2 rails with the proper 8 pin power for the cpu. It also came with 2 6 pins for the future GPU cards.
My point respect the manufacturer recomended requirements.
This is with any build.
My m.2 was on my motherboard without a heatsink so I bought a pcie x4 addon card with heatsink and put it into my unused x16 slot. I get almost 50 fps with the 4 settings 1920x1080 60p i510400 16gig 2666 max speed .
The m.2 3200 speed with wow only on it.
My case is pushing 47c out the back. With a 22-25c ish cpu stock fan into the case. I have my case lid proposed to a angle. Also have a DVD bay slot opened for more front in air.
I don’t think the power supply itself is under load, I could be wrong, but there’s nothing on the computer consuming too much power to my eyes. No open or running programs. I assume it’s just the fans having an issue but I don’t know how to check that.
