Hi everyone, this is my rig:
Asus M5A97 R 2.0
EVGA GTX 960 2gb (The problem started when I changed my old HD 7790)
AMD FX 6100 3.1 ghz
16 gb of RAM 1600 mhz ddr3
Bluray optical drive
1 tb hardisk
[strike]cooler master[/strike] THERMAL MASTER cheap case
500 w PSU (came with the case)
The thing is that some years go I had a similar issue that turned out to be cause overheating (I solved it by buying fans), but this time when I log the temps (mobo, cpu, gpu, hd) they all are running within spec (less than 70 for mobo (though very close at 68 one time), less than 60 for proc, less than 80 for GPU.
I'm suspecting that this time is because I'm using more power (gtx 960 TDP is higher than my old card)
What's your opinion folks? should I upgrade my PSU, my cooling solution or both? Can anything else be te problem? How do I trouble shoot the issue?
Thanks in advance.
