65% - 50% gpu usage

[Wixel50]

Hello,

 

I built my first pc couple of days ago and im getting 65% to 50% gpu and cpu usage when gaming.

I would like to increase it. 

My setup: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Wixel50/saved/#view=Fh7YTW

If you want me to test or try something i can do it.

Play at higher settings then what you're playing at. It could also just be the game you're playing, some games stress GPUs more or less than others.

ok so im playing gta v with max settings and gpu is around 70% to 75% and cpu 65% to 70% fps is around 65-80 but mostly at 80 so its playable. But i still want to get higher fps if its possible

Have you enabled XMP to force RAM run at full 3200Mhz? By default it will run at 2133 which is a big bottleneck for the CPU.

I put on xmp 2.0 profile 1 which is supposed to put the ram at 3200Mhz but it set it to 2400Mhz.

i can change it and max is 2930 or something but the pc starts rebooting itself. Max i can go is 2800 without the rebooting

You may need to tweek the timings, whats the rating of the RAM sticks? And whats are the primary timing settings in the bios?

Here are some setting which said timing. if you could explain or link me something how to change them safely so that nothing happens, If i really do need to change something

Have you updated the bios to the latest, sometimes RAM stability increase with newer update but thats not always the case. What is your RAM sticks rating? those timings are not that tight for any 3200mhz kit, you can try increase the Failt count value to 5 so it will try to train RAM 5 times instead of 3. You can also set primary Timings to ''A'' for auto and see what the timings are once it as trained, or see if it trains with 18-20-20-20-40 which is really loose, but it may just be a BIOS RAM stability update thing.

I have not updated the bios. I dont really know what the training does but i put the timings to auto everything. The speed doesnt go over 2400. Where can i see the ram sticks rating? Maybe i should just update the bios

See what version you have under the main tab, it should be written something as B450M Pro4 (Bios version)

If you never updated the BIOS you probably have verison 1.10, version 1.50 improve system compatibility which is probably RAM compatibility.

Your RAM stick are rated for 3200mhz CL16 if your pcpartpicker link is good. Should work at the rated speed but its not always the case, you should at least be able to run it at 3000mhz IMO

the current bios version is P1.50. Should i update it to the newest one? I have tried the 3000Mhz profile but it automatically sets the speed to 2400Mhz and as i said above 2800 is highest without the pc rebooting itself after a minute.

Edit: i remembered that i have tried to internet flash the bios but it said it didnt find any update
