Tips & Tricks4

GPU Temp Sensor

GPU temperature reported 1°C, this is a sensor reading failure. Temperature data for this session is unreliable. Try updating GPU drivers or check if monitoring software is conflicting.

Hot CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 85°C, thermal throttling detected. Reapply thermal paste, clean dust, or improve case airflow.

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.

Outdated GPU Driver

GPU driver is 69 months old (version 20.19.15.5171, 2020-11-04). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.
