Anyway to physical or programingly to do yo stop this?
Currently in my country we're dealing with a heatwave, and it's causing the PC to shut down after some time if I play demanding games. To prevent overheating, I try to use less power until the weather improves. I'm okay sacrificing a few frames or performance as long as I don't see a black screen while playing online. (Other simple options are changing settings, but I won't save this file on my system 32 or any permanent changes.)
This technique is known as "under-clocking." The simplest option is to activate power-saving settings in your BIOS and Windows. More advanced methods involve reducing the RAM clock speed and lowering the CPU multiplier.
The easiest ways are setting BIOS PPT to 65W or below, applying Windows Power plan with CPU capped at 99% to avoid boost, and for GPU, using Afterburner/Adrenalin to restrict GPU power to about 70% of its max. This keeps the GPU from overheating and won’t impact performance by more than 15%.
A simple solution would be to open the computer case to give your components more ventilation, to cool better. Maybe consider getting a simple house fan that costs maybe 15-20$ in the store and get it to blow into the computer components to keep them cooler Here's an example to see what I mean : https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Deluxe-Ind...083K7FPV4/ Only other options would be to go in BIOS and adjust fan curves to force your fans to run always at higher speeds and from video card settings, some will let you manually control fans so you could also adjust those fan curves to keep fans running at higher speeds and keep the components happier. It could be your power supply is suffering though, maybe there's not enough space between the floor and the case for the power supply to suck in air? Don't sit your computer on carpet or stuff, make sure it sits on flat surface (desk, cement, some chair etc) and ideally there should be at least 3 inches or more (around two fingers or more of space)
Hi there, your setup sounds tricky. Removing the side panel might help if the room is too warm, but since the GPU is on a flat surface, it could affect cooling. Make sure you check the fan placement and airflow before trying it.
Looking at the right model, it provides up to 175 watts at 12 volts. The label details the specifications clearly. For your setup, you’ll need around 300 watts on 12V for the power supply. If the PSU only has a 6-pin connector, it might suggest limited power delivery under high heat, possibly affecting performance. Ensure proper cooling and verify the fan capacity to maintain airflow. You can find more info or purchase options by checking online retailers or product pages.
It's not that bad, just reapply the thermal paste and check for proper airflow in the case. You could also overclock the CPU if you wish—either via BIOS or using the Intel Extreme Tuning tool (I favor the BIOS method).
My 6 to 8 adapter worked fine until now with the wave, so thank you for the tip. I’ll install another fan focused on the power upgrade. Hope I can share this with a few people since I’m also planning to try underclocking. Thanks to everyone!
