Alright thanks for the response, I’ll just bite the bullet and buy a new one, my own mistake for not checking

Could it potentially cause damage?

Title really, I stupidly bought a 6650 for my partner after she got a tower from her family and I didn't fully check the specs, she's got a i7-9700k 32GB ram with a Corsair CX 430w PSU. I'm planning to undervolt it and will defo get a 600w+ PSU in a couple months when I get a bit more cash...

UPDATE: I figured it was time for a PSU upgrade regardless of if it is the issue or not, I followed your guide you have about PSUs and ordered myself a Corsair HX750i, I really hope it is a problem with my PSU as last thing I want when Cyberpunk comes out is my PC freezing

sorry the second picture wasn't right, here is the actual picture

when not in benchmark when in benchmark looks the same but unsure if this is the section you mentioned, only place i could find 5v/12v

So as long as I just clear off the thermal paste with rubbing alcohol should be okay?

Not sure what you mean by thicker tape for heat transfer?

okay, so basically I remove the old paste with rubbing alcohol and the scraper, put the paste on (size of a rice grain) then spread it over the square thing, then simply reattach the other side of the GPU, after that will I have to wait till I turn on my PC or can I simply plug it back in and play?

Heatsink being the other half of the GPU? So once you spread it and put it back together you have to keep it on? Sorry I know I'm an idiot

So would you spread the paste after applying or just apply the paste and let the paste squash when you put the screws back in?

Hello everybody, I bought my 1070 Gaming X 8 GB I think about 5 years ago, with Cyberpunk 2077 on the way I want to make sure my rig is as ready as it can be so I've decided to try and repaste my GPU since it's temps are higher then it was when I first got it, I've watched a few videos and...
