Most probably your PC is dusty. You should clean up the dusts in the fan of your desktop. I used tohave the same problem, but that was after a few minutes of gaming.. Lol. Once i cleaned the fans then no problem till this day.. But just to make sure, try cleaning it first, unless youre using a water cooler. The other option is to check the temps of your cpu and gpu. I dont think your psu would be causing the problem. Corsair PSUs are in good rating.

QUOTE(Candlenie @ Dec 27 2016, 12:20 AM) I've already tested with prime95. Ran at 100% load for like 5 min and no problem at all. CPU temp is around 70-75. Your PSU should be more than enough to support.. Lol. 970 is about 90W your i7 also maybe at most 125W. lol.I've updated my GPU driver as well. I suspect PSU because I'm not really sure whether is 550W sufficient when GPU running full low. |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Dec 27 2016, 05:19 PM) Well, in my case, dust build up in the stock heatsink fans and cause heat ups when i play any games. After about 20mins or so my PC shuts down. Then i cleaned the fans no problem whatsoever after that. It could be due to the dust stuck at the PCBs of my boards... lol |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Dec 27 2016, 05:20 PM) 970 is 145w on specs, typical 970 draws 170 - 180w range. i7 varies but typically i7 draws under 100W but even so they don't draw their rated TDP wattage all the time. Processor power draw is subjected to load. |
