Gpu overheating when gaming or watching youtube?

demonicswords · May 26, 2014

here is my build
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Ju8H
power supply
FSP Group Mini ITX / Micro ATX 80 Plus Bronze Certification 450W Power Supply (FSP450-60GHS(85)-R)

when i watch youtube videos or play high graphic games my newly built computer the gpu fans goes crazy and computer gets super loud then it crashes like what i said in the title

I even underclocked my gpu to the maximum and this still happens why?

when i uninstalled my gpu driver and used motherboard graphics it doesnt seem to crash but my cpu fan is going crazy loud instead

please, really need help

one new weird development, i revert my amd radeon R7 260X graphic card driver one back.
the computer froze and restarted instead of black screening and freezing without restarting, it happened at around 81c for my gpu

ok im completely baffled now, i set my afterburner and underclocked the gpu to the lowest setting, turned on deus ex human revolution on the loading screen and the temperature immediately jumped to 100+ celcius. It shutdown my computer all together

picture of inside the case

someone help could it be because of my small case?

any response would help

Bumping is not allowed. It does appear that you have very limited airflow in that case. How many case fans do you have?

demonicswords · May 27, 2014

there are 2 case fans in the back

COLGeek · May 27, 2014

If I were you, I would strongly consider changing your case. That design has minimal airflow. Something like this would be much better:

My wife's desktop is installed in this case. Don't let the price fool you, this is a great case. Well built, excellent airflow.

thanks, ill try that.
Another weird thing happening, i am able to run whatever games or youtube vids without the gpu going crazy, the temps are relativelity low and the fan isnt loud like before which is weird. No crashes so far today so i have no idea why i was crashing the first 2 days and not today

demonicswords · May 27, 2014

err i spoke too soon, i opened a vid of utube and the gpu fan went crazy, the temp kept going up to about 85+ then i shut off the vid and the temp still kept climbing 100+ getting louder and louder until the comp crashed

It sounds like the heatsink is not properly contacting the GPU chip. You may be able to reseat it yourself but it risks voiding the warranty

I would RMA

COLGeek · May 27, 2014

smeezekitty :

I agree. While your case does have poor airflow, it should not be running this hot. There does seem to be a problem with this device and an RMA is in order.

i solved the youtube video issue

i unchecked the flash player setting enable hardware acceleration and i havent crashed from streaming a video online so far

COLGeek · May 27, 2014

How hot does it get under heavy gaming? Or when playing 1080p video (like a movie DVD)?

demonicswords · May 27, 2014

around 80 c max for deus ex human revolution, already downloaded 1080 p video around 60c

COLGeek · May 27, 2014

80C is getting up there. I still recommend a newer, better cooling case. Good luck!

can anyone help me with this vid?

http://media.ch9.ms/ch9/fbfa/2dbd096d-24f0-46ce-8777-acf65beffbfa/HardwareAcceleratingEverythingGraphics.mp4

this vid crashes my computer

it has some hardware acceleration that i cant stop

it accelerates my hardware and crashes the computer but it isnt a flash player vid

smeezekitty · May 27, 2014

You really should stop working around the problem and try to get the temps under control. Either you need to improve airflow or replace/repair the GPU

demonicswords · May 27, 2014

i am going to get a new case soon

and i got it to fix disabling hardware acceleration on firefox

thanks for everyone's help
