setup - cool master 240
Ryzen 5 1600 OC 3.8Gz
Gigabyte GA-350 gaming -3
2x8gb , ram 3200mhz
ssd+hhd
Seasonic focuc plus 550W 80 plus gold modular ,

now when playing dirt rally 4 racing I have ultra , 3840x2160 multi sample 4 x msaa , anisotropic 2x gpu temp 77 -80 c gpu fan speed 90 , gpu clock drops to - 1759 , drops from 60fps.

I can get 60 fps stable if I reduce a few ultra setting but I feel this card should hold with these settings, the GPU is also quite hot and that’s only after 5 minutes of playing , the GPU has had new thermal paste with very small result , Well this got me thinking about my psu 550w is it enough power? and could it cause my GPU to overheat? , my cpu temps are cool but this has water cooling so this probably wouldn’t get effected .
 
Had this problem for sometime now and only today had a major breakthrough well a just set my CPU overclock back to default setting , I can actually run even higher setting than what I posted and keep the gpu temps to 65c , Now what I need to find out is why was my overclocked cpu causing this?
 
It's hard to say without knowing what case you're using and how the fans are mounted. Is the Coolermaster 240 AIO mounted at the front then?

Is the GPU on air or in the same loop as CPU?

GPU is air , I have two rear fans back and top and two fans on the front radiator, Two rear fans push air out and front fans push air in , I have also tried it the over way round with the fans and very little changed just took a little longer for the gpu temps to rise .
 
If the radiator is at the front then that explains why the GPU is getting hotter when the CPU is overclocked.

Because the radiator is getting rid of the extra heat the OC'd CPU is producing by pushing air inwards, the heat is then dumped inside the case, meaning the GPU will have to deal with warmer air. Looking at the case though there's not really any better places to mount the cooler. Keep the rear fans blowing outwards and maybe try fiddling the fan profile for the GPU with something like MSI AfterBurner. Perhaps also have the fans on the radiator run a little more aggressive as well, the MB should have fan settings within the BIOS.

I have tried everything from rear fans pushing cool air in and front fans pushing air out but there was little difference only it took a bit longer for the gpu to over heat, which did surprise me but this is what the software was reporting to me , so the placement of fans or which way they push air is not making any difference in regards to the gpu. also I do have the case fans on full and the gpu fans on full 100%
 
decided to go back to my overclock this time I set cpu to 3.7ghz i think the default boast is 3.6ghz so not a big jump but again it held well with all setting maxed out in game - gpu clock 1848 temp - 66c , 60fps - all fans on full - so why does 3.8ghz make that much difference ? I guess I can live with what I have but will keep trying to get 3.8ghz
 
You might be able to squeeze it on top, but obviously that would mean using only one fan. Still, the 1600 overclocked with reasonable volts might actually be fine with that.

could only get the radiator on but not enough room for the fan , I ordered a bigger case I really think it will help having the radiator and fans up top . ill report back when its setup .
