Problems with my pc.

[n0_clue]

Hey guys. Recently my oculus decided to turn off my pc and oh boy has it gotten worse. After speculating my psu was the issue I started to look at heating. While I am not a master at Gpu Temps is 63C good for when im just browsing the internet? When i run a game for a bit of time it completly restarts my pc. Yet im still able to hear the sound of the game through my headset. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: My GPU is now running at 60C It seems to be completly unstable.

Rx 470 not OC
Ryzen 7 1700 not OC
8gb Of ddr4 ram 2400 mhz
600W PSU EVGA
Msi B350m mobo

I would suspect the GPU; idling in the 60's is completely unacceptable, given that I'm currently idling at 40 C with a standard GTX 1080. What model of the 470 do you have?

No, it is acceptable. It depends on his climate. If he is not running an Air Conditioner in the background, or if the area where he is is hot in general then it is fine.

@OP:
When you say it restarts your PC, that usually points to the PSU. How old is your PSU? What model from EVGA's line up? There have been some bad apples in their line up. The 470 is also known to be power hungry.

you may want to buy some new thermal paste and repaste the gpu. also use msi after burner test that the gpu fan is moving and will spin up under load. you may want to use a driver cleaner like ddu and place the newest driver to make sure the driver not causing the fan not to spin up.

I opened up an old GPU from a dead computer, the fins on the GPU were completely blocked up with dust. Cleaned it out but not in use because it is to old.

Yes it ispretty hot in my room. I Only have 1 fan blowing on me directly so that would make sense. Everything I had Assumed was the PSU but i came here just to make sure so thank you for the answer . Also it is a very old evga 600W

I'm sorry, but if his GPU was that high due to ambient temperatures, the OP would be BURNING UP where he sits. Also, if it was due to his ambient, then wouldn't the OP have also reported his CPU temps being ridiculously high? I would only suspect ambient temps as a culprit if the OP's PC shuts off completely/has high temps, which they haven't reported as of yet.

According to Gamers Nexus, even the stock RX 480 (which runs a little hotter than the 470 mind you) runs a temperature delta of only 8 C. This would mean that the OP's ambient would be somewhere around 52 C. This article sums it up decently, even with its grammatical mistakes: https://www.ekwb.com/blog/what-is-delta-t/

OP, what model of GPU do you have? Some models, such as the Asus Strix, operate at those temps under load, so I'd say those temps are a bit concerning.

Thing is, the OP's PC doesn't restart completely. I would point to the GPU being forced to shut off due to a thermal issue. That would explain why he would lose the monitor signal but could still hear everything running on his PC. As smorizio recommended, I would look into repasting your GPU, and also testing it with something like furmark to see if the shutoff still occurs. Though, it would help to know the model of your PSU as well, OP.

Can you get an exact reading of the ambient in your room, OP? Perhaps a thermostat? Also, what are your idle CPU temps, and the EXACT model of your PSU?
