I made a mistake by putting a GTX 970 into my Alienware x51 R2 which only has a 330 watt power brick instead of an actual power supply. Now I have to throttle the power using MSI Afterburner but MSI Afterburner only updates the signal about every 10th of a second. I have it set to 70% power but it regularly goes to 72% or 73% and sometimes it just goes way over and the PC shuts down.
I am planing on moving the parts to a new motherboard in a new case with a new PSU but for now I need an effective way of throttling the GPU. Is there some better program that wont let it go above 70% power consumption no matter what? Is there some way I can use the BIOS to force the graphics card into using no more than 70% power?
Any help is greatly appreciated as I couldn't much from my own searching.
I posted this in "Overclocking" because its kinda the same thing only backwards and I couldn't think of a closer category.
