GPU-Z Problems

Hello. Today I installed GPU-Z on my computer. I loaded up Mirror’s Edge Catalyst and played for a few minutes. Then I checked GPU-Z and in the row that says why your GPU is underperforming, I saw 2 problems. The first one was marked as Vrel and the second one as Thrm (or something like that). But I don’t really know what those things stand for. Could someone explain what those things mean?

By the way, should I do anything if these problems are dangerous?

no they're not dangerous, this is completely normal.

 

Vrel basically means the card is limited by voltage which is fine because they are limited by the voltage that they can go up to, so it's like a "duh" kind of error.

Thrm is related to thermals but i have no clue how that works, it would be nice to know your maximum temps, but usually it's also normal to see this even if your temps are low.

Quote or Tag people so they know that you've replied.

it's also best to ignore Perfcap Reasons and focus on the boost clocks that your card achieves during gameplay, and the temperatures, if the clocks and temps are normal then everything is fine.

 

If your card is under performing then you can go look at the Perfcap Reasons, it's mostly a tool for troubleshooting, not to check if it throws errors even when everything is running normally.

The max temperature was 82C.

Voltage regulation. Very normal. Turn all the power and voltage to max. But the fact it’s thermal throttling, need to cool the card down.  All sinple stuff.

Also, how do I cool my card down? When I put a fan curve on it, it makes a very weird sound (like something is loose or broken). Is there any way to cool it besides a fan curve? My GPU is a blower.

New paste perhaps. Fan on max is the only way. Swapping the cooler, under powering it as well.

Would water cooling my GPU help? For example the Ekwb A240g kit?

Absolutely. Best case scenario. Can cut those temps in half. Increase the clock speed quite a lot stock as well.
