RTX 2070 Super Power Limited

[Emerald Spanner]

I have recently built my first computer and I noticed that MSI Afterburner isn't reporting a voltage for my GPU and CPUID is listing it as being power limited.

I am unfamiliar with this issue and after a fair bit of searching, I was unable to find a solution.

 

My setup:

 

CPU:        AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-Core Processor    

CPU Cooler:     Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM 75 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler        

Motherboard:     MSI B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard    

Memory:        Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory    

Storage:        Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive    

Video Card:    MSI GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB GAMING X TRIO     

Power Supply:    EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

 

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!

it's normal it just mean your GPU has run to max and is hitting the power limit...they all do it all the time it's normal otherwise you would burn your chip...

Since it happens at idle, I dont see the point of worrying. Power limit is also set for each card to restrict its heat output, if you want more performance you should overclock instead.

I forgot to mention that this is while idling. Nothing open other than Afterburner and CPUID.

Is that still normal?

Ok, that makes me feel a bit better. I just wanted to make sure I didn't mess something up putting this together.

 

I know very little about overclocking, but I'm starting to look into it. (I was told Afterburner was a good tool)

 

 

Any idea why Afterburner isn't getting a voltage reading? I read that it's usually because some settings are left unchecked, so I looked there first.

i think you have to close it and re-open and it should read it but you have to go check for it in the settings:

I don't see the option for GPU Voltage on mine. Only GPU Temp and GPU Usage.
