decreasing cpu clock fixes problem?

[Mando772004]

i set my maximum processor state at 99% instead of 100%. it makes my 5800x run at 3.725 ghz instead of the normal 4.5-4.8 while gaming. this seems to have fixed my issue where my gpu power drops in many games and my fps does also. why is that? i tried days gone i noticed it did drop frames sometimes even with 99% processor state and my coreclock would drop also but my gpu power remains constant

specs:

rtx 3080 msi gaming x trio stock settings latest driver(new)

r7 5800x stock settings(new)

32gb ram 3200mhz corsair vengeance rgb pro(new) xmp is on

b550 tomahawk(new)

2x HDD 1x 1tb WD caviar green(very old) and 1x 2tb seagate barracuda(from previous system)

2x ssd 1x nvme 250gb(from previous system) 970 evo plus samsung and 1x sata m.2 450gb kingston (os drive which is new)

windows 10 pro activated

GX850 PSU from seasonic 80+ gold

g7 odyssey 1440p 240hz monitor

Seems like you have a crap psu

Rma your psu, it may be bad

 

Cause if cpu power decreases and gpu power goes back to normal then thats most likely a dying psu

also one more thing. i tried setting my cpu ratio to 4.2 on bios and it also still works fine with no gpu power drops
