Having issues with my computer turning off due to heavy load on the GPU.

Hello, first threat I've ever posted. Sorry in advance.

I've recently purchased escape from tarkov and everything was fine, i played the game for a solid 6 hours before bed and a problem never occurred. Recently though, I've been having issues with my computer turning itself off due to the GPU being under load (Well what i can gather from CAM). At First i thought it was my CPU getting too hot, because i always got alerts when playing world of Warcraft that my CPU was getting too hot, so with further inspection i found that my thermal paste needed reapplying. I've reapplied the paste and set out to play escape from tarkov, computer turns off again. I ran CAM looking at my temperatures and while my CPU is sitting at 40c my GPU is hitting 75 within 15 mins. I am only running one fan at the moment but today i have a splitter cable coming in order to get another two fans working. I'm hoping this fixes the problem.
Furthermore, I've never had issues playing any other game. What do you guys think?

Also, I've recently purchased H100i v2 CPU radiator but i can't seem to find where to mount the thing. My case is a corsair c70 vengence and in many pictures you can see that they've mounted a radiator to the top of the case but i can't seem to find any holes for screws. Do i need a mount or something?


P.S, computer is clean. I've cleaned it thoroughly 4 times. :pt1cable:

I'm currently rocking:
-i5-3470 3.20ghz
-r9 200 series
-750w corsair psu
-8gb ram
-Motherboard is a asus micro board, can't get a model number using msinfo32.

Thank you!

I don't have the rubber pieces on top. I have the holes where the rubber pieces should be though.
I'll check the drivers but i only updated them a month ago and i've had nothing telling me they need updating. thank you for responding in such short time.

If you hold the rad under the top grill you should see where the holes will line up.

Best way to test if the GPU is at fault is to run a stress test in another PC for a few hours/overnight

Yeah that's fine, the holes aren't meant to be threaded since the radiator has threaded holes.
