Does he have an overclock? What GPU? Game? Whats the RPM of the cooler? Is the computer clean? (Dirt, dust, etc?)

Posted December 30, 2016 Oh it's a 470 makes sense cards in that lineup get very very hot.If i were you I would add some system fans to lower the temps. Subnautica is a pretty demanding game for a 470 My life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 30, 2016 Yes, and a card of that age will have dust in the heat sink. You won't see it until you use canned air. Then stand back. I'd also change the thermal paste.
