Tripredacus Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Ok the board has 3 mechanical x16 slots but two of them are 4x electrical. The video card should be installed in the slot closest to the CPU. I do not think that the card being a PCIX 4.0 in the 3.0 electrical 16x slot would cause the issues you describe. You wouldn't be able to get everything out of the card while it is in that board, but it shouldn't be unusable. As for the TDP, it may be that with Win 10/Linux Turbo Boost isn't being used at idle, while in Win7 it is. May be due to settings, drivers or lack of drivers.

Nokiamies Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 What power profile you use? Balanced, power saving or high performance? If high performance try set minium cpu state to 1-5% instead of 100%. That caused R7 2700X run hot and full clock speed on me with windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have Speedstep, CStates and C1E enabled in bios and do you have latest bios? Those three options controls idle and lower cpu states on Intel processors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
