Graphics cards get so hot when playing games.

Any chance you can break it down a little Maxie???

So I was just playing world of warcraft, around 10minutes in without my computer restarting. The screen goes black and then the monitor displays a no signal sign. I've checked all the power cords and connections and nothing seems to wrong.

No offense, but your power supply is borderline... useless..
I tried looking for information about them, and i was unable to find any reputable reviews, I even saw the power supplies claim to be 80 plus certified, and read quickly that the manufacterer stamps a generic 80 on the PSU.

I would purchase one that could be able to support the card properly.

Okay I've installed MSI Afterburner and created a custom file for my graphics cards fan, and the temperature has been reduced by 18C stable at 62C while playing a game. Do i need to run MSI Afterburner everytime I start up my computer or does it do it automatically?

When you open up "settings", there is a box there to "start with windows". Check that and you are good to go.

Any power supply that Boast a whooping 850 w 80 + plus certifacation would no way in hell be this cheap

I got my AX850 for 179.00 originaly 200.00 and i know it should atleast cost you 120 +


That Supply probably doesn't put out what it has written and it is probably overheating along with the cards

That makes me feel sorry about myself for being close to spending 159.99 on a 560Watt seasonic 80+ Gold PSU.

Thank you very much for the information!

What power supply would you recommend?

Thankyou very much!!!
