PCI Lane Cooling

[TheSlipperySlope]

So, my computer seems to have some sort of GPU crash when playing BO3 at max graphics at like 130%-150% rendering, and I'm sure its because of heat. So I'm wondering, if perhaps this may be able to cool it to fix it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/EverCool-SBF-8B-Dual-80mm-Fan-System-Bracket-Cooler/272181558977?_trksid=p2045573.c100034.m2102&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D35375%26meid%3D8e0e00a335624bab98bf96cba754c40f%26pid%3D100034%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D381043311137

That looks noisy and impractical. What GPU do you have? I doubt it would do much more than just removing your case side window or cover and have it as an "open air" case to check the temps.

I have the Sapphire R9 390

How are you so sure it is because of heat?

Have you seen the temps go above 95C?

BEHOLD, and prepare thyself for the most elegant of solutions known to mankind itself.

 

 

Tada!

Nope actually.

The sapphire shouldn't get that hot though, I'd try the open case thing first and a good dusting. If that works and you want something more permanent then you can go for those fans though I doubt they'd do much more than just getting better intake and exhaust on the case.

Well, better trip out my MasterCase with the Noctuas then.

Well first of all you find out if it is overheating by looking at the temps with software like MSI afterburner.

Second, it is probably not heat because if it was overheating it would throttle, not crash.

Good point. Eh, I'll just figure it out then, thanks.
