Sounds like a combination of thermal paste and cooler. I would change the cooler to something more suitable for gaming and make certain the thermal paste is applied and cured properly.

Eta: CPU, cooler, and motherboard? You could also have motherboard failure.

Last night the temps stayed between 65-75


Under load that is perfectly normal and fine. 90-95 is about max temps roughly.

Another note, that may or may not be relevant. The throttling only ever happens on warzone, never on Cold War MP. After the throttling last night, I switched over the cold war and had none of those issues. My FPS are a little lower than usual on CW, but that's about it.



Sounds like a memory leak.

Right, which has me a bit concerned that it was still throttling at these temps. Worried it may be something else.

It's 1000% not thermal throttling at 65.

Check your ram and vram usage, as well as GPU junction temperature. Since it's just the one game I still think memory leak.

I have those things constantly pulled up as well. What are the ranges they should safely be in?

Also, what exactly is a memory leak, and how do I determine if that's what it is and be able to fix it?

I was throttling/lagging/whatever the hell it's doing, at this point of the picture.

70% RAM usage after you've alt tabbed out seems high? Would point to a memory leak possibly, you have 16GB of RAM and MW is only using 25%, what else do you have open that is using so much ram?

Vram and temps on everything look fine.

Under GPU why does it say svchost 341%? That seems odd, do you have a malware cleaner? High cpu or gpu usage of svchost is typically malware related.

He has 16. Look at MW using 25%. But, yeah, could be malware. Unless RAM is in wrong channel?

Yeah I noticed that shortly after and edited.

I'm guessing malware. The ram usage + that svchost 341% is definitely weird.

That program even shows 0% GPU load yet the bar is at 75% too.

Run a malware program I think it's malware. Malwarebytes is still the best free one.

The early versions of software used a ton of data, and transmitted several personal forms of data without really letting the user know.

Also slowed down boot times, and had CPU usage really high even during idle.

They've supposedly fixed that (and also don't transmit data unless you consent... supposedly...), but I wouldn't want that software anywhere near my PC.

EDIT: If hes looking for hardware monitoring software, he should just use HWInfo.

Did this and it came back with nothing.

I have one that popped up today (same place under gpu) that said nvcontainer and it was showing 400-1000%. I read up on that and it said one of the solutions was to uninstall Geforce Experience. I did that and played one game lag free, and then all of a sudden it was right back.

I'm reading up on how to check for/fix memory leaks now. I'm at about the end of my rope with this crap.

Gamestop stock is going nuts, already was and then Elon tweeted them out and another boom.

Too bad most of us missed this it seems, myself included. No one had Gamestop doing this.

$5/share back in August. People thinking it was dead. Currently $148/s.

It was $20 2 weeks ago fricking nuts.

It looks like getting my founders edition 3070 for $750 might be a deal now looking through some of the ebay prices

Y'all heard why right? redditers got together and fricked the hedgefund companies that were shorting the stock.


Literally the only time I've ever said "good job reddit"

and it still doubled. Dumbest thing ever. They did it with Blackberry too.The last time i went into a gamestop blackberries were still popular.


ETA: guy in our discord put up 4k on 55c for gamestop last friday. bragged about making 12k. Now currently worth 300k
