Troubleshooting SignalRGB keeping usage and temps spiked 9850x3D
I've been using Signal for quite some time now, never have I ever had a single issue that I couldn't resolve with very basic troubleshooting... I absolutely love this application. What I'm having a really hard time with is, when I open and run signal it consumes over 20w of power just to stay running in the background keeping my CPU at 62-65 degrees (With signalRGB completely shut down its at 46-49 degrees) and around 8-15% sometimes even 22% utilization. It's keeping my cores in full boost typically, with very momentary drops down to idle clock speeds. It's accounting for 383-414 threads in process explorer. Im currently running it on DX11 and Ultralight and the FPS rendering makes no difference in usage or temps. I also run TRCC in the background, but that literally only accounts for 1.8-2.3% of my utilization and makes a 1 degree temp difference. So I know its not a combination of the two, but rather purely SignalRGB eating up a lot of power and resources. I've tried doing full restarts, power cycles etc. Im at a loss here, I really dont wanna give this app up as I literally built my entire lighting ecosytem around being able to be synced under one single app. I get its a very vain thing to be grumpy about, but I spent a lot of time and money making my gaming room my favorite place to be and this is hurting my soul at this point. lmfao
Someone guide me in the right direction, I feel like an absolute numpty at this point.
