Just keep going until it stops, it shouldn't affect anything else.
But I need to know the age and model of your PSU – it might be the main issue.
My unit is a Corsair CX 600, purchased along with the whole system back in 2013. Based on my specs, it makes sense to consider replacing some components, especially the graphics card, but I don't think the PSU is the problem.
As a beginner in hardware, I'd recommend getting a new PSU and testing it. If that doesn't resolve the issue, you can return it.
The Corsair CX series isn't known for reliability or consistent power delivery, which could lead to problems with your card even at its original speeds.
The Corsair CX is not recognized for reliability or consistent performance, and it might have deteriorated over time. Inconsistent power could lead to problems with your card running at its original speeds. It doesn't seem very probable based on the details shared, as PSU problems usually result in noticeable sounds like coil whine or audio jack noise, or they might completely shut down the system. His situation appears to be connected to overheating, particularly given that he's running the fans at more than 60%.
The Corsair CX isn't recognized for reliability or consistent performance, and it might have lost its strength over time. Inconsistent power could lead to problems with your card running at normal speeds. It's unlikely based on the details shared, as PSU problems usually result in noticeable sounds like coil whine or audio jack buzzing, or they might completely shut down the system. His situation appears to be connected to heat, particularly since he's running the fans at high speeds.
currently the system runs smoothly at 50 degrees and -48 MHz GPU Core, cpu fan operates between 50-55. It seems the GPU is not overheating, though the video card's VRM temperatures are unclear. Memory temperatures can't be checked without an IR thermometer, but the main concern is keeping broken parts in a computer.
