I am getting fps drops on my pc. I was wondering if it was because of the psu or something else.
Pc specs
Gpu- gt 710 ddr5
Processor- i5 2320
Psu- foxin 220v (local brand)

Also my gpu fan slows down every alternate second.
Thanks :)

Then it would definitely be a good idea to get some temperature monitoring software, like...

I doubt the PSU is the problem. The GT 710 is a very low-end card, only capable of playing light e-sports games. If these fps drops have only started recently, however, then there could be another issue.

I play dota and csgo at min graphics. Dota works fine however csgo starts at 80 drops down to 20 in around 10-15 mins of gameplay.

Sounds like it could be an issue with overheating then. I'm assuming your PC is small-form-factor? If so, then it could be difficult to get better cooling.

No its not a small form factor pc. And my case a normal one. Not a fancy gaming case. So i think overheating could be a major issue.

Then it would definitely be a good idea to get some temperature monitoring software, like HWmonitor, and check the temperatures if you can. You could also get MSIafterburner and see if you could set your GPU fan to a higher speed (if temperature is an issue).
