my graphic clock remains blocking at 405 mhz

[OUZEBI]

everything is in the title, thank you in advance.
my systeme spec:

core i5 7200u 2.5 ghz

nvidia geforce 940mx

8gb ddr4

hdd 500gb

If you want any help please list down your system spec, what GPU you are using, what driver etc.

ok done

is this a laptop? what model?

yeah its a laptop, ASUS X705UQ

Unless otherwise stated, all performance claims are based on theoretical performance. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations.

that means there could any number of conditions your gpu clock is not working, including over heat, power configuration, and operator error.

so the next tooth to pull, what are you doing that it needs to ramp up higher than 405?

when I open a game the clock goes to his max (1082mhz) then drops back to 405mhz and stays there

What are the CPU/GPU temps?
Clean out the cooling areas of your laptop.
Maybe the thermal paste has dried up.

WHAT GAME?


Nevermind, unsubscribing from this thread, too tired of pulling teeth.

Could still be a lot of things. We will need a GPU Z log of your time in-game. CPU temps are also interesting.

Is the laptop plugged into wall socket when it does this?

People need to get the memo by now... dry paste is fine.

Reseating a GPU cooler usually creates more risk than whatever you stand to gain - especially in a laptop as some flatcables and other bits are adhesives and its easy to break stuff (they get less adhesive, you can pull cables in a bad way, you can lose screws and you can fail at reseating etc etc). If it throttles this badly, it will throttle after a repaste. Removing dust, sure. The rest, pointless exercise 99% of the time.

sorry it's just that I did not understand your question

yes they're plugging in when he does

Old thermal paste can crack and cause heat transfer issues

The Skinny on Thermal Paste

We recently set out on a journey to shed some light on basic repair skills with a series of videos on iFixit’s Youtube channel. Our first video centered on stripped screws: how to avoid them and how…

Context, come on man... you left out the key part of this sentence.

"Old thermal paste can crack and cause heat transfer issues, and it’s generally a good idea to replace your paste every time you separate the CPU from the heat sink. "

Paste degradation or sudden cracks only happen when the bond is broken. This can be by heavy impact on the case or component but is highly unlikely, you mostly see that (if it ever happens!) with heavy tower heatsinks on a CPU.

Paste suddenly, spontaneously cracking between a gpu die and heatsink is near impossible, after all, its carefully screwed down to the board and the heatsink/shroud is not quite as heavy and across the whole length of the GPU.

So, please, can you stop spreading misinformation on the topic? Even if it did happen spontaneously, its still on the very bottom of any half decent troubleshooting list. Yet for some weird reason here on TPU its always in the top 3 of responses to "insert random PC problem with any hot component". Its almost as bad as people flashing GPU bioses to get an OC.

Perfcap reason Thm I believe is thermals ie heat. Looking at this laptop I'm not surprised, its way too thin to do any serious work or gaming.

Get a laptop cooling pad, its your best bet, and blow it out every few weeks to keep dust away.

I reckon this lappy has just one heatpipe and it goes from CPU > GPU > heatsink. So your hot (81C) CPU is feeding your hot (82C - throttle point) GPU and no matter how much it tries to reduce voltage, temp won't go down, so it drops to idle clocks.

The GPU is not broken, I think, looking at this. Cleaning may help a tiny but in all fairness, its criminal to sell this laptop with dedicated GPU.

How is the fan noise? Is it jet engine or not very audible at load? If its jet engine, you may have a broken fan bearing. Replacing it may fix your problem, its a common thing in ultrabooks. A different sort of fix is to lower the power target of the GPU, but really that's a bandaid. Same with CPU tweaks to reduce temps.

If you can send it back, do it and ask for refund. Product does not meet expectations...

indeed, it was a thermal problem, the fan was disconnected. I had to forget to reconnect it when I replaced the ssd. thank you for helping me, thank you very much
