What can I do to prevent GPU overheating while streaming casino games?
Hi all, I stream casino games and I’m having temperature issues with my GPU. How can I cool it down without affecting stream quality? Thanks!

I'm not a professional streamer, but I live-streamed casino games for years (you can check my channel if you want). GPU overheating is a real problem. First step is to fix the airflow. Keep your PC clean and dust-free and make sure the GPU fan is working properly. I recommend a GPU pad if you are sitting at a desk. Some broadcasters even add several fans to make sure proper air circulation gets to their PC. Reducing the voltage of the GPU may also help. Drop the graphics setting in-game a little, nobody watching will see a difference. Use MSI Afterburner or similar programs to keep track of your GPU temperature. If it goes up too much, pause for a while. Two or three hours of streaming, then 15-30 minutes rest. You need to clean the fans. A clogged GPU fan means dead GPU. If everything else fails, replace the GPU cooler with something better. Good luck at the tables! 🎰
Overheating GPUs while streaming? Yep, we’ve been there, too. Ensure you’re maximizing airflow through your PC by removing any hair or dust bunnies accumulating in fans or within the case. You can undervolt your GPU with a program like MSI Afterburner. Undervolting will lower the temperatures without affecting your stream. Make sure that whatever streaming software you’re using (OBS, etc.) is set to use the CPU or one of its built-in, lightweight encoders to take some of the pressure off your GPU. Always update your drivers and game applications, as these can also help reduce heat generation.
