Trooper Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hi all I have a question regarding the Vive desktop app and the processes that it uses. For some reason this app or its processes are causing my GPU to idle 15°C higher than normal (30°C is normal - 46°C idle when Vive/processes run). Even after I shut the vive app fully down the temps dont drop, I have to stop a few processes to get it to return to normal. These processes are : HTCVRMarketplaceUserContextHelper (x2 of those) VivePhoneInit.exe ViveportService Why would one of these affect my GPU so much when I am not using it ? My GPU is the EVGA 980TI FTW edition Any help would be appreciated as I also think that this extra temp is carrying over to when I use the VR headset, making it run at around 75°C instead of normal 60°C whilst using fullscreen normal gaming.

Rockjaw Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Thanks for the report, . I hope it's obvious I didn't write the software, but I'll pass on the feedback to our software engineering team for them to look at. When you mentioned the HMD, I assume you're referring to the GPU temp again, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Yes, the GPU temp. I have done a little more experimenting and it is defifnitely HTC process related. Thanks for passing the info on, if any more info is required then please give me a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
