Hi guys,
So I've managed to go without issues on my current build for quite some time, just over three years I believe.
Unfortunately, the PC has recently decided that the local climate is no longer to it's liking, so it started overheating.
I'm farily sure it's the PSU. When I check the interior of my PC the PSU and GPU were the only parts which seemes hotter than usual. I check the temps on my GPU with some software and it wasn't going above 70c which is well within my GPUs range, but the temperates on the PSU are being shown as above 100c (at least in Open Hardware Monitor which I'm using).
Also whenever the overheat forces my PC to shut down (usually while gaming), it takes a little while before I can turn it on again, so I'm assuming it's the PSU, plus it gets the hottest.
I haven't changed any of the components in the PC since the last build which was over three years ago, the PC has remained in the same location. The only thing I did was a thorough dusting about three days back, but I did that after I sensed the PC getting warmer than usual, although it didn't seem to help.
My Specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel i7-7700K 4.2 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060
RAM: 16 GB Corsair (Vengeance I believe)
PSU: Corsair CX 750 (fan placement is down facing)
Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z270-K
Would appreciate any help that might allow me to get the PC into standard working conditions before I can just buy a new PSU.
Thanks
