Hey, long time no post. I hope everyone's doing well around here.
My graphics card has recently decided to begin overheating. It reaches a temperature that makes the card too hot to touch with bare hands. Consequently, my computer locks up and I can play gamez.
Initially, I thought my fans may be malfunctioning, but all of them are working properly.
Yesterday, I downgraded the graphics card in an attempt to stop the overheating. However, the new graphics card overheated as well. I then added two fans on the bottom of the new graphics card and another one on top. Even with three new fans and all the original fans functioning properly, the graphics card still overheats.
I think this is an issue with either my powersupply or motherboard port. But, nothing on my computer is malfunctioning except the graphics card so i don't think it is my power supply.
So, before i run out and burn 40 or 100 bucks on a new motherboard i figured i'd consult you guys.
If you need any more information, i'll gladly let you know.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : The fan on the graphics card itself functions properly.
