The problem was that I was using a PCIe gen3 vertical gpu mount. It wasn't correctly communcating with my pcie gen 5 motherboard and pcie gen 4 gpu. Took out the mount and working fine now

Hello, I recently upgraded from a 9900k to a ryzen 9 7950X with an X670 AorusElite AX mobo. Ever since I upgraded, the sensors for my EVGA 3080 ti have displayed incorrect information. When I'm idling or not using my GPU heavily it will just say the GPU is at a constant 60 degrees and 1800mhz clock. However, when I start gaming and my GPU starts getting hotter than 60 degrees and hitting clocks above 1800mhz it seems to start displaying the correct information... atleast that's what it seems as the temperature and clocks get to what I expect them to get to while gaming (about mid 80 degrees and 1900+mhz clocks). In NZXT Cam, while idle, the temperature and clock will just stay like this: In HWINFO while idle(non of these clocks move and temps slightly change by 0.1 degrees): I'm not even sure if my upgrade caused this issue but it is the only thing that has changed since this issue has arisen. Some things to know about my setup: Im on Windows 11 Just updated my BIOS to the latest version (as of October 7, 2022 I believe) Ryzen 9 7950X X670 Aorus Elite AX 3080 Ti EVGA FTW3 Ultra At first I thought it was confusing the integrated graphics and my GPU but its not... the stats above are indeed what its saying about my GPU (although maybe the software is somehow geting confused?) If anyone knows how to fix this so my GPU can display the right clocks and temperatures that would be super helpful. (I have a fan curve based off my gpu temp in ICUE... so I kinda need it to display the right temps) I'm wondering if there's maybe just a setting I'm missing in the BIOS or even in Windows or something. Any and all suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

I'm not too worried about the price and since the 9900k is still better than the 3700X (I know its not by much) I think I'm going to stay with the i9.

I'll be playing a lot of CPU intensive games, recording and rendering videos, and maybe a little bit of streaming on the side.

Country: Canada I'm looking to do a fairly large upgrade for my PC including getting an i9 9900k and would like some helpful opinions. Current PC: CPU: i5 4460 Quad Core (4 thread) @3.2GHz RAM: 8GB Single-Channel DDR3 @1600Mhz Motherboard: Acer Aspire TC-603 GPU: GTX 1070 SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 1TB HDD: WD Blue 1TB Power Supply 650 watts 80+ Case: Fractal Design Define R6 Gunmetal ATX Mid Tower Case Upgrades: CPU: i9 9900k 8 core 16 thread @3.6GHz CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 140mm RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS ULTRA LGA 1151 I will not be overclocking the i9 and I am fairly sure the Noctua air cooler can handle cooling it but what are your opinions? Also, any opinions on the motherboard? The Aorus seems good overall with supporting the i9 and overall seems like a good motherboard. I will not be upgrading my GTX 1070 just quite yet but I am planning to get a 2080 Ti near Christmas time to get it on a good sale and hopefully for its price to drop a little bit. I'm fine with my storage for now, I may upgrade to an NVMe SSD in the future. I believe my power supply will be enough since I will not be overclocking or anything as such. The cost of this upgrade is around 1200 CAD right now (looking at sales on Canada Computers, where I will be buying my parts). I would like to keep it somewhere within this range, however if there are better options I am willing to spend an extra ~$200-$300. I do not care about aesthetics such as RGB or anything like that. Any opinions are appreciated, thank you!
