Graphics heating

[Marijanusic]

i have a problem with graphics heating on computer with this build

GTX 950 evga sc temeperature stays below 50 degrees on running wow Legion

M5A97 motherboard

phenom 2 x4 960t procesor and 8 gb of ram

this build has a power supply LC power 600 w

 

and when i put the same graphics card in this build 

760gm-p23(fx) moterboard 

fx 6100 procesor and 4 gb ram temerature of a graphics card goes up to 68 degrees at a stable 60 degrees

this second build has a power supply bluebery 560w

 

 

 

 

and this second build had a amd radeon 6770 graphics that was shuting it self after some time of usage so i putted a gtx 950 to test it out in both build 

and the temperature of 6770 in 1 build was not going over 50 degrees

sry about my bad english i hope you will understand what was i trying to say

Airflow in the second build is not as good.

but could it be that bad, that the graphics card shuts down? and yes you are corect the airflow in the second build is worse becouse the case supports only 1 fan at the back and i have putted it to pulls the hot air out...

the second has 1 at the back that pulls the hot out and the front that pulls the air in the case

What was the temperature of the card when it shut down? Also, what is the exact manufacturer and model of that second power supply?

[Marijanusic]

well its this one  Miditower Multimedia Case M42, PSU-560 it had a built in power supply in the case

so maybe i should get a new power supply

[Marijanusic]

the exact temeperature when it crashed i dont realy know but it was in the range of 40 to 60 whitch is normal

I looked at the Blueberry PSU specs and it's crap, most cheap PSU do that; they show high watts but when you look at the specifications all they do is boost the amps on the 5v rail and leave the 12v at around 15amps.

 

So try to see if you can add a fan near the GPU and change the PSU for something that has a better 12v rail...

[Marijanusic]

so changing the power supply should stop the GPU from crashing? and the reason behind the crash and shut down was becouse the GPU it self wasnt getting enough power so it shuted down ?

That could be one cause yes, I had an old build with a GTX 470 that was unstable and it turned out it was the PSU that wasn't giving much on the 12v rail, switching to a better PSU fixed my problem.
