Tips & Tricks5

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 35 FPS, frame drops below 60Hz cause visible stuttering. GPU peaked at 100°C and CPU at 100°C, thermal throttling detected.

Critical GPU Temp

GPU peaked at 100°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or limit FPS to reduce heat.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 100°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or undervolt the CPU.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 94% of 8 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Single Channel RAM

RAM is running in single channel mode, halving memory bandwidth. Install a second stick to enable dual channel for a significant FPS boost, especially in CPU-limited games.
