@trs96 Have you considered a compact / narrow CPU cooler over power restrictions? I was looking at the following as an alternative to the stock cooler with the full size GTX1050, but unclear if they will fit: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099&ignorebbr=1...

Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 2GB GDDR5 with 6300 mini tower. I'm going to apply new thermal paste as well. Just for curiosity I'm going to keep an eye on the temp under load without PM, assuming a max temp of 67C.

Were these temps with the Gigabyte card and your heat sink rotated 90 degrees in a 6300? Any idea if power management has been needed to keep the temps down? Debating if I should return the card for a low profile, or if I should just rotate heat sink w\ power management. Thanks!
