My PSU is dying, and my brother gave me a hand me down OCZ 700w Mod X Stream Pro power supply. But it does not have the right connectors for my 6 pin Sapphire R9 270. Since the PSU is modular, I can just by an adapter cable; but the question is what ports do I use on it? It has four 6-pin black...

Alright, my brother gave me a hand me down OCZ 700w Mod X Stream Pro power supply. But it does not have the right connectors for my 6 pin R9 270. since it's modular, I can just by an adapter cable, but the question is what ports do I use on it? It has four 6-pin black ports and two red 8-pin...

No, I have not Overclocked anything.

Specs CPU: A10 5800k GPU: Radeon R9 270 PSU: Rosewill Green Series 530W RAM: 16 gigs of G.Skill Sniper MOBO: Biostar Hi-fi A85W OS: Windows 7 When playing a moderately performance demanding game Such as Space Engineers, Fallout 4, or Cities: Skylines. My Pc at a seemingly random time will have...

Because before I redone the thermal paste, my computer shutdown to prevent overheating when I played fallout too long. That and the piriform speccy was giving me exaggerated temperatures so I thought I was overworking my CPU. Because it told me it was hitting the 80C area and above when I was...

I don't have either of those programs, but I can run Fire strike on 3Dmark without crashing, and when playing fallout 4 in one of the most graphic intensive locations in the game while on ultra, the lowest my thermal margin got was 31C http://i.imgur.com/epwLBoD.png

Alrighty then, here's everything I could get. This was all taken when my computer was at idle. http://i.imgur.com/zngDxFT.png Question, the shutdown temperature for your processor should be the same regardless of what program you use to monitor it's temperature right? Is there a specific...

Well I guess I have to get a better fan then. This 80mm fan runs at 5700 RPM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999612&cm_re=80mm_fan-_-11-999-612-_-Product compared to my stock coolers 2500. Another thing I want to ask is how accurate is piriform speccy when it comes to...

Good news is hat with the new coat of paste, running fallout 4 no longer shuts down my computer. Is around 80 C under load tolerable?

Update: Added thermal paste, minimal temperature drop. big problem is that I never used piriform speccy until the shutdowns started happening, so I don't really have a base line to compare it to. Guess I got to upgrade the fan.

So when trying to play fallout 4, my computer shuts down without warning after some time of playing it. After trouble shooting, thinking it was anywhere from a horrible bug, to a dying power supply, I downloaded piriform speccy and it's CPU read out is 40C with fluctuations up 50 or higher while...

Simply, when I mouse over to my second monitor (which is smaller than my main) it drops about an inch relative to my main monitor. So it throws me off when trying to click on an item appearing at the same level when mousing in between monitors. It's not a serious issue, but it would be nice if...

So my A10 5800K has been quite the trooper since I got it in 2013, but as gaming progresses, I eventually have to upgrade from integrated, to dedicated graphics as my computer has a hard time running flashier games like Alien Isolation and Natural Selection 2. Also I'm sure my less intensive...
