Frisby 450W PSU http://

The problem is after playing a game my fps drops about 20-30. This problem occurs usually 30 mins after.

I checked my temps, CPU max 51C and GPU max 50C. (problem is not GPU because i have gtx 650 and have same problem)

I tried without CPU overclock still same, RAM enough for game. What could be problem?

PSU efficiency goes up the more wattage you use. He has a GPU that uses 75w, and an Old CPU that uses 125w and probably 50w max for everything else. Just because it SEEMS low doesn't mean anything. Owning a 800w PSU and only using 250w is a...
Since your slowdown is only after some time, it sounds a LOT like a heat problem.
what are you using to check temps? not all temp checking software is equal.

Your PSU could also be suspect. I have never heard of the brand -- but maybe its a good one in your area. Also 450W seems rather low.

When you do check temps -- what are they before starting to game? Do they rise right after starting, stay stable and keep stable until the slowdown happens?
-or-
do they stay low and only rise when the slowdown happens?

This is Afterburner On-screen-display.

GPU usage very low on SMITE. I tried Bioshock infinite, XCOM 2, Dark souls3. All of three has +%90 GPU usage. But SMITE only uses max %50. I tried nvidia control setting to set maximum performance it did not work.

Is this bottleneck or the game is not very well optimized? Is it okay if i overclock more my cpu? I don't know if my PSU handle more overclock. Maybe i could try 4.0.

This article seems to agree with what I suspected, but the date tells me that it would've been fixed by now. Which game specifically drops over time, or is it ALL games? The longer you play, does it keep getting worse, or level out at 30fps?

Leveling out tells me something is throttling, because of overheating. If the FPS keeps getting worse, then it's the game.
 


Fps really unstable. Sometimes i can play 60 fps. But sometimes dropping 30 fps in same area. I tried few games the problem occurs only in SMITE. I checked tempetures, it's looks fine. Probably game is not well optimized.

One more question, i don't know if off topic. Do i need new PSU? I have been using this PSU over 3-4 years. Everyone saying my PSU really bad quality and i should change.

 

I wasnt saying your PSU is bad -- its just I have never heard of the brand. it may be a really good brand thats not available in the USA.

However, In my opinion, 450w is low for a gaming PC. but thats my opinion.

Do you NEED a new PSU? Probably not. but an upgrade or update wont hurt if you get a good one.

Now, with that out of the way, Do you know what happends when a power supply explodes? Most of your computer won't work anymore...ever. If you want to roll the dice on your GPU and Hard Drive, your choice.
