I'm using a 330W power supply, but that is simply not enough whenever my 2x 980m sli is running under full load, such as when I play a game like Rainbow Six Siege. The CPU will automatically downclock itself to around 1500Mhz with a package power of around 28W to make room for the GPU. This can be seen in any somewhat GPU-heavy game, and my framerate will drop from 90 to around 30FPS because of my CPU.
My GPU is untouched and my CPU is overclocked to 4.1Ghz in all cores. However, even removing the overclock my CPU still has TDP throttles until I close my game, which it will shoot back up to 4Ghz.
Is there a way to fix this? Do I need a larger power brick to deliver more power, or could I tweak something in the BIOS to resolve the issue?
