Hey everyone, I recently made a post about a new PC build. I was successful in building the PC. The specs are: ryzen 7 7800x3d and an 4070 ti super, 32 gigs of ddr5 ram, with an 850 watt PSU. I have booted up a couple games and have configured mango hud to make sure I'm getting the right performance. As far as I can tell, everything is running as it should. But, if you look at the picture provided, mangohud is showing that I'm currently throttling in power and temps. But looking at the above numbers I don't see how I'm throttling. Out of the games I've tested, black myth wukong, Hogwarts and silent hill 2 show I'm throttling. However, dead space remake, shadow of the tomb raider and ghost of Tsushima don't show im throttling. I'm confused by this and am wondering if it's a bug in mangohud?
EDIT: I'm on Linux mint. Kernal 6.8.0-52 EDIT2: doing some more research, I found this post https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/13z1ov1/how_do_i_resolve_throttling_power_issue/
Which says that the throttling is actually what I should expect and it shows I'm getting the most out of my PC. So maybe I misunderstood
EDIT 3: looking at the config file for mango hud, it says : display GPU throttling status based on power, current, temp or "other". It seems to me that, this popu up appears if you have any 1 of those conditions.
What I don't understand is how I could be throttling on temps. I've been watching them and the temps don't go above 60c for either GPU or CPU. And the other thing is, it will say I'm throttling as soon as the game loads when the temps are in the 50s. I have also been using a different program to track temps and the most I've seen CPU temps is 79c from loading shaders.

that makes sense.
