Aurora R11, AWCC, memory and CPU

Can someone help me out? Is my memory in the advanced view in the AWCC? Supposed to be disabled? Also when my computer is in idle, is my CPU supposed to be maxed out like the attached picture? TIA.

I am thinking that indicates the XMP profile is not active. Depends on your memory speed, should be 3,200 Mhz XMP or 2,666 Mhz without XMP profile enabled.

You can check it quickly by opening task manager, and under the performance tab check the memory information. It should list the current speed in Mhz.

I would use a free program called CPU-Z to measure memory speed and processor usage.

AWCC tends to have issues from time to time.

Oh ok, so basically it's a certain way to overclock memory. If I use this program CPU-Z will it auto adjust your CPU, GPU or do you do it manually?

XMP explained 

 

Also shows how to check with CPU-Z.

CPU-Z will just show you the profiles and the current settings. It will not adjust anything.

For adjustment of the XMP profile you need to enter the BIOS and select the XMP profile option.

This is somewhat explained in the R11 service manual.

When you lower the limit it will draw less power, so less heat production.

Each games has different graphic requirements, and some games are very taxing on video cards while others are low taxing.

So it won't cause the card to over heat? Also why is it only 1 game causes the fans to rev up like that?

There's nothing wrong with lowering the power limit. It will lower thermals and cause fans to rev up less, as you already discovered.

So lowering these things will it have any effect overall with the card? With video etc?

Games are programmed differently with the controllers of the memory, hard drives..  I always leave power limits down a bit, and Temp limits about 90.    ??

no, I use my RTX3080 at 65% without any issues. You will see some performance drop on some games, but as long as you can live with that there's no issue. There's no issue with video as that does not use 3d acceleration.
