GPU doesn`t clock down (GTX 970)

[Maxido]

Hey guys,

since some days I realized that my GPU clock will not decrease under idle while I am on my desktop.

My GTX 970 is running at its full speed of 1152 MHz GPU clock and 1753 MHz memory.

The utilization is at about 0-2 % says task manager.

Today I saw that the Nvidia GPU activity display lists Windows apps like Store, Music and Photos.

Is this because of hardware acceleration ?

I hope somebody can help me.

You've probably got 100% voltage at all times enabled.

If I have where can I disable it ?

I really think its because of the windwos tasks because if I stop the tasks the clock will go down.

It will probably be in an OC package (MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision XOC)

I don't even have voltage settings enabled.
