New GPU is 100% loaded and over 60 degrees?

ShineregiByShineregi

Hello

The new GPU I bought (RX 6600 XT) isn't working perfectly. It once worked, but the load was below 50% and the game ran smoothly, but now it doesn't. Everything is connected, including the power supply and other components. I only had one GPU before (iGPU). I also installed the GPU, but there's still no difference. I'd appreciate a reply:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700g

It could be due to several things:

  • Have you put the GPU in the top slot (the 1st slot down to the CPU)
  • Maybe it is too hot in your PC case (poor air flow)
  • Does your power supply have enough wattage to supply your GPU (you can check on PC Part Picker, you don't even have to register)

hope it helped

Yes, the GPU is in slot 1. My power supply is 500W, which I think is enough for the RX 6600. It might be fine in the case, but I'm not sure.

Okay, as I said, look at PC Part picker to see how much it draws and what kind of power supply you should have because 500 might not be enough for the full potential, which case do you have, you know that

Unfortunately I don't know the name, but the case isn't the most perfect either.

Which operating system do you have, which tasks are active, which autostart programs are running on your computer (list everything). Without information there is no help.

You sit in front of the box, not us!

I use Windows as my operating system, and my auto-start programs are usually Steam, Discord, Medal, and Riot Client. But I close them immediately. I checked the task manager, and the GPU is constantly running at 100% and over 60 degrees.

Production error?

Possibly broken?

Maybe you can send them back 🤷‍♂️
