Aurora R11, AWCC.Background.Server high power usage

I do not have that issue. My CPU usage goes down to 0-1% after about a minute or so.

During that time many background tasks are running and finishing up their various tasks.

I attached the information, with AWCC closed and never opened.

I circled the relevant information in a red box.

Type "add or remove programs" in the bottom left corner of your screen, scroll down to and single click Alienware Command Center.  A number should show up, to the left of the install date, that is the version. 

I may have to check what AWCC Version I have on this R11, I recieved it 5 days ago. Any help on checking what version I'm on ? 

R11  i9-10900KF Liquid Cooled  - Win10 Pro -  M,2 NVMe 2 TB Single drive - RTX3090 - XFury 64gb-3400 MHz

Gotcha Thank You !

Okay I check the version and it’s the latest one. I just get it. I let it boot up for 30 mins and the cpu stayed at 5.0-5.3ghz and only when I click the FX tab it starts to idle normally. Very weird that my R9 does the same thing and I have updated just about everything to do with AWCC and AW peripherals.

Ok well if anybody searches this topic in the future and the cure is to uninstall and reinstall AWCC that's not the case. If you have the cpu overclocked enabled in AWCC, the cpu will be High usage until you click the FX tab. 

I disabled my AWCC overclock1, restarted and let boot up for about 15 mins. then opened up Task Manager and no longer do I see the AWCC.Background.Server @ very high usage and idling as normal.

It's not always about uninstall and reinstall the programs. I kinda hate when someone tells me to do that. Anyways I hope it helps someone one day. 

On my R10 I have no overclocking tabs, they don't even show up under AWCC. Only the tab for the GPU shows up, but I use Afterburner for anything GPU related.

Good find, glad you got it resolved and hopefully it helps others in the future.

Yes I have been using msi/ab. I have been testing this new unit and actually runs really well in all areas in balanced mode with no cpu overclock1 or 2 factory set. The 3090 factory OC runs at 1920 MHz and sits around 72c Not Bad for playing DCS and VR HP G2 

3090, the big boy. Looks like you spared to expense to get that performance you always wanted.

Have fun with that machine, a 3090 is virtually impossible to get right now. You be the envy of your neighborhood.

Just keep an eye on the Tjunction temp and hotspot temp of that card, and ensure it is within acceptable parameters. I use the sensors from GPU-Z for that as it provides max values and logging over time options.

GPU-Z and CPU-Z are utilities every computer owner should have and use once in a while to verify their system is working within specs.

Awesome I will definitely download that program thanks ! And yeah I went big thank god my wife needed a home pc for her work which I handed down my R9 to her which is a great machine too

Thanks again !

I have this same issue. Clicking the FX tab usually works but not always
