I recently installed a GTX 970 into my Alienware x51 R2 and it is using to much power when under sufficient load. This causes the PC to shutdown. Could I use MSI afterburner to limit the power consumption the 970 so that I merely get a drop in performance instead a system restart?
My plan was to lower the "Power Limit (%)" option to 75% and then see if that's low enough. Is it safe to lower the power limit of the GPU?
