my computer specs are:
desktop board dh61ww i think
intel i3-2100 3.10ghz
action ac-500w power supply
4gb rams
i just bought a gtx 760 oc windforce 3x and i really wasn't sure what i was doing but i connected it, and then i connected in the 6 and 8 pin psu and connected 2 of the wires coming out of the 8pin and only 1 of the wire coming out of the 6pin ( there is no room for the second 6pin wire). i then booted my pc and updated the driver and everything was fine until i opened up thief and maxed out the graphics. i played for like 30min and while i was passing behind my pc to go pee, i could smell heat, like a warm thing, im not sure if thats because its still new or because i havent connected the 2nd 6pin. i then download GPU-Z to check whether its burning up or whats going on. this is when its idle: http://postimg.org/image/3rrv6koj9/ ,and this is after i play thief for some time: http://postimg.org/image/81vvdg0v5/ (while playing the frame rate kinda goes way down in certain places, not sure whether its the game or the gpu) i tried dayz and it was working fine on high graphics.
do i need to upgrade my rams?
do i need to get a new power supply (do i need to have all psu pins connected not just 3 out of 4)?
should have i reinstalled windows before i installed the driver?
any help would be appreciated.
