Hello! When playing games recently, I’ve been seeing lots of fps drops, maybe every 5 seconds or so. I’m running a firepro w4100, and I’m concerned it isn’t getting cooled enough. The fan is tight up against the psu, and the only other slot is an x4. Any ideas? Not sure if psu is the problem- gpuz says power max draw is 34 watts and card can draw up to 50.

There are literally gazillions of Optiplexes in gazillions of different configurations with gazillions of different hardware options. Gonna have to be more specific about model number and chassis type plus specs of the system.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

FPS drops usually aren't super indicative of bad cooling. What is the rest of your hardware, and what kind of temperatures are you seeing?
