Over the past year I have had problems with multiple GPU's whilst playing games on steam, from CSGO to Rust any games I play using steam cause my GPU to overheat extremely fast which results in the entire PC shutting down I have installed programs to let me control my fan speed but even on 100% the system will still overheat and crash, I have opened up the side of the PC to allow for more air flow but still the same problem. I have ran other games such as HoN and even done some things in UE4 and the card has been great with no problems at all.

I am using a gtx 970 after I upgraded from an amd 270x due to the same problem so the specs are well above what games like csgo should need... The only way I have managed to solve these problems slightly is by setting an FPS cap turning down settings but I know that I shouldn't be having to do this with the tier specs I have....
