musterpilot Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I was having problems with my gpu spiking and heat problems with cpu and gpu until I worked out my problem I had my c drive converted to GPT and the drive with P3Dv5.2 was MBR I converted my drive with P3Dv5.2 on to GPT and all problems solved might work for others as well I now have all my drives converted to GPT now my cpu and gpu are balanced out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGunard Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Sorry, I don't understand. How does changing the way your drives are partitioned 'balance out' your CPU and GPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musterpilot Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 I forgot to mention I had P3Dv5 on 1 drive which was MBR and my scenery (Orbx) on another drive which was MBR my drive with windows on was GPT after I converted my other 2 drives to GPT it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 There must be another explanation. Using a different drive partitiion format should make no difference to performance or strain on hardware, whether they are mixed or not. The only difference between MBR and GPT is basically the size and number of partitions that can be used on a drive. Did you backup/remove all data from the drive before converting? A drive would usually need to be formatted, ie all data removed, before the partitioning could be converted. Personally I would not recommend anyone try this for some hope of a performance benefit, as it could be risky and there is little chance of any performance gain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musterpilot Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 No didn't remove any data from my drive just converted it to GPT just used EaseUS Partition Master anyhow it worked for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
