Im using a displaylink d3100 via usb3.0 also and experiencing same sort of issues here. CPU usage high and Win Driver foundation at it in the background. The setup iam running is a 7700hq / gtx1060. I do majority cad work and the display link is used as an output for my third monitor. On bootup it is fine temps are low and normal, however within 10-15 mins of use it gets higher and higher, somewhere between 10-15c more than usual, including on the GTX also. I also look at power draw and its very significant. Now before we go any further, this is a fresh up to date 1903 install hours old. Ive been using this since 1709 and the temperatures and cpu multiplier rates were never this bad once the drivers are updated or the dock is being used. Ive been pulling my hair out, tried old drivers, new drivers but nothing. While im using the dock i hit temperatures of 75+ while doing simple autocad saves. Without the dock plugged in or installed temps drop 30-15 degrees. So.. Any news? I dont want to get rid of it, its only 11 months old. |

Same problem here. After few minutes it is not possible to work with the docking station anymore. |

Alright guys,
So Ive been playing with the said 'workaround' for couple daysd and my temps are back to normal. My initial finding is that the D3100 clocks the GPU to base speeds, so In my case it would clock it to 1404mhz without having to need to, as I checked use the load is virtually 0 on desktop and even using programs. Yes the GPU will power all displays end of the day however theres no need for it to stay cranked all the time, generally what ive noticed once clocked up 1405mhz it starts to bring cpu temps up also (as expected). SO!... Ive been using this tool called nvidia inspector. Link: https://pcgamesbeat.blogspot.com/201...-gpus.html?m=1 Basically I turn it on, turn on muti-display function as described and i just pushed a threshold to 20/20%. And all of a sudden, boom normal temperatures. Basically what it does is it downclocks the gpu as it normally should (no need for gpu to stay clocked all the way when not doing work. (obviously it should vary). I have tested it for the past 3 days to make sure it is good and I can still make use of it when it needs to be used at higher power states / function. This is NOT a fix, this is a workaround if you have a nvidia gpu. Ive dropped temperatures by 17-30 degrees on both cpu and gpu. Hope they fix it so we dont have to run this particular thing but for now it allows me to still use this dock. Any questions id be glad to help, If you guys need I can make a video and upload it explaining more. |

I’ll test what you have described but please can you check the download link of the tool, it looks unavailable?
