GTX 1080 Clock fluctuation on idle

[chekri.sc]

Hello,

The core and memory clock on my GTX 1080 keeps fluctuating on idle. There are no processes running in the back ground. The fans on the GPU also keeps turning ON and OFF. Has any one faced this issue. I have attached a screen shot of the clock.

Thanks for your help. If this is not the right place please let me know where to post.
Sai.

Hi chekri.sc

Welcome to the ROG forum !

First, open the Nvidia Control Panel, manage 3d settings and set Power Management to optimal power, then restart your pc and check to see if your GTX 1080 is throttling down.

If that didn't help.....

Try uninstalling your current version of GPU Tweak II and reinstalling the Nvidia driver, run CCleaner after uninstalling GPU Tweak II to clean the registry then install GPU Tweak II version 1.8.3.5.

Scroll down to the first .zip file in white.

Install Nvidia driver 416.81

After the license agreement, select custom/advanced install, uncheck the 3d vision driver and the HD audio drivers, then check the box that says perform a clean installation.

How is your GTX 1080 after doing this ?

Hi

I have been having the exact same issue on first boot up, the gpu clocks don't idle the only cure is a restart of the system

I have uninstalled and cleaned restarted with nvidia drivers and gpu tweak and this hasn't solved it, ive tried different versions of both software still the same issue, always on a cold first time boot, im using the new formula xi if that helps im also using gpu tweak 1.6.7.0 and latest nvidia driver.

Hi kevin.bradford1

Have you tried GPU Tweak version 1.8.3.5 as listed above ?

[kevin.bradford1]

Hi Nate

Yes I tried that previously and still get the same issue I re installed 1.6.7.0 last night

All right

If you have Geforce Experience installed, try uninstalling it and see if this brings the clock speed down at idle.

[kevin.bradford1]

ok ill give this a try and get back to you,

As several restarts done as I have switched back to 1.8.3.5 and every restart they down clock its always on that initial first time cold boot up.

[kevin.bradford1]

Did a restart and it happened so I have attached it so you can see what the clocks are doing
Ill give the GeForce thing a try

Hi Nate

Uninstalled GeForce experience, shutdown and rebooted clocks stay the same on startup

Can you confirm your refresh rate, please.
