Why is my computer so slow?

Anonymous

I have a laptop that has 3TB of storage, 32GB ram DDR4, i7-12650H, RTX 4060 and not good cooling. It runs BeamNG.drive at normal presets at 50fps, a GTX 1060 with 8GB ram with an i5-6500 runs 75fps at normal. Why is it slow? Is it because of the OEM drivers or software (there's only one.), i only have 169 apps installed which most of them are just Steam games that are 10GB each (10 games at the E: drive [secondary drive]). I've tried reinstalling windows with a USB but it seems like this is underclocked by OEM? How can i normal-clock it? Also, the GPU voltage is 0.6V, how can i make it higher?

Thanks,

Ahmet

If you can't change it in the BIOS, and it's a case where overclocking and other options have been turned on you can't change the frequency of the hardware itself, it's written in the hardware by the manufacturer, and you need to provide a Bios update from the manufacturer. You also contact the manufacturer, they can also give you more professional answer.

    I think it's because of first 3 reasons you said, how can i make better cooling (i have a 12k rpm fan blasting at it with a rampage cooler), i don't have any other power plan aside from high performance, and the bios doesn't have any advanced customization, how do i unlock my bios?

    Hi, TheBoredOne

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    Thank you for your feedback. According to the information you have provided, your laptop is very powerfully configured but its performance is not as good as expected, and there may be several issues that cause it to run slowly:

    1. As you mentioned, the heat dissipation of the computer is not very good. This may cause the CPU and GPU to downclock due to overheating under high load. Check and clean the cooling fans and heatsinks to ensure good ventilation. Consider purchasing an external cooling pad to help with cooling.
    2. Ensure that the power plan is set to “High Performance” to avoid CPU and GPU frequency limitation by power saving policies under high load. Select “High Performance” in “Control Panel” -> “Power Options”.
    3. Maybe your system is limited by OEM in BIOS/UEFI. Enter BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing F2, Del or other specific keys during bootup) and check if there are performance related options (e.g. CPU power saving mode, cooling strategy, etc.) that can be adjusted.
    4. Make sure the system is not affected by malware or viruses, and keep the system smooth by regularly cleaning up system junk and optimizing storage. You can use Windows comes with or third-party optimization tools such as CCleaner for system cleanup and maintenance.

    If the problem persists, it is likely to be a problem with your hardware, and it is recommended to contact a professional repairer or computer after-sales service for further assistance.

    I look forward to your feedback, which will help me pinpoint your problem.

    Best Regards,
