So i just got the XFX GTR BE RX480 Graphics card and i boot a game like skyrim , and after an hour or two , the screen would go blank and exist my to my desktop and i would see an error or a warning and in a split second the pc would shut down. Any idea what could be the cause of this ?
I should mention that my radaitor is sitting ontop of my graphics card for lack of space.

download Unigine Heaven and give us a screenshot of HWMonitor when you're at full gpu load. I noticed in HWMonitor that the max voltage of your gpu was off the charts. This also happened with my 8gb 480, so I recommend you enable Compatibility Mode and Power Efficiency in your Radeon Global graphics settings.

Also, give us the model of your case and the model of the radiator you're using, to give us a better picture of the layout in your case.

ok when i turn hte pc on , the gpu temp is about 30-40 celcius and ocne i play cs go or skyrim , it hovers around 52-56 celcius and when i go back to browsing, it still stays at 52-55. cpu temp is always below 35 at idle and 40 at full load , skyrim. i could move the radiator to the front of the case or put the graphics card on the 3rd slot of the pci express but it would be directly on the psu sorry its a small matx case, corsair carbide spec m2
