[SOLVED] GPU overheating?

[Forz]

Hello, recently this has been getting on my nerves, however when I play for a couple hours, my computer will randomly crash with a black screen and an unresponsive mouse and keyboard once I checked the temps after restarting the GPU went up to 50c idling, I turned up the fans to 80% and its at 43c. At full load with the fans turned up its at 50c in the witcher 3, fyi my GPU is an asus strix GTX1050 so it does have decent cooling. Are those symptoms of a overheating gpu? It is a hot day in england today and its melting the air. Im purchasing a new gpu anyways after nvidia ampere comes out, however is there also a way to prevent overheating, will extra fans work or any other way, other than re-applying thermal paste (I bought the GPU new 2 years ago). Cheers!

50C is perfectly safe for a GTX 1050, the issue is likely something else.

List your specs including the PSU model.

50c isnt even close to over heating, most cards will reach the high 60s or low 70s under load, you only need to worry when it gets to the high 70s or low 80s under load.

It is a CX450, I doubt its an issue because It works perfectly fine, however 50c idle and 70c at almost full load? I am very certain that it is my gpu that is faulty, since I did get some small screen flickers and GTA V doing the same exact thing if the VRAM amount was higher than 2GB.

Oh, and my specs:

Ryzen 5 2600
GTX1050 2gb
16GB @ 3200mhz ram
CX450
B450m-a

Even 70C is safe, low 80's is were I'd start to be concerned. Usually when a game exceeds the vram on the GPU you'd experience performance issues, not really what your saying with the screen flickering so it is possible there may be a issue with your GPU but I doubt it's temp related.

Have you tried other ports on the GPU and monitor?

Ill have a look into using another HDMI port, it must be a GPU fault or just a HDMI fault. Are symptoms of a bad psu random pc shutdowns and BSOD? I hope not because I plan on buying a new gpu when ampere comes and hold onto the CX450 once I get the money

Is it the grey label CX450?

A poor quality PSU could cause those issues. When a BSOD does occur is there a error message? If so what does it say? Knowing the error could help determine the cause and hopefully a fix.

It is a grey label CX450 from 2017, I did not get a BSOD, simply saying if thats the symptoms for a bad PSU incase I do ever come across one, I could get a clue. Ill just conclude it could be a mildly faulty GPU, however I switched HDMI ports and it seemed to fix the flickering etc. Thanks for your help
