Hi guys I have just built my pc not long ago. I use Radeon RX 470 with intel core i5-6400 CPU @ 2.7 GHz.
The issue i have is when i play games with heavy graphics usually get my pc shut down after awhile. The games that I ran into this issue with are Batman Arkham Knights, Mortal Kombat XL, Mass Effect Andromeda, Assassin's Creed Unity and most recently, Assassin's Creed Origins.
When I played AK and MKX my friends told me it was the overheating issues so I upgraded my fan to Cooler Master Hyper T4 CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes RR-T4-18PK-R1 from a basic intel fan. It did help extend the time I could play the games before the pc shut down. (My pc base temp is usually aorund 40-50 C without any games and when the games shut down it stays in the 60-70 C range)
Recently when I play ACO it gets really frustrating as the time before the game shut down can be anywhere from 10-50 minutes and it really disrupts the game. I read and the AMD software tells me that my card is the bare minumum to play these games and I should upgrade it.
So my question is what is causing my pc to shut down unexpectedly and should I upgrade my card? And if I should could you give me some recomendations?
