The highest GPU temperature I've noticed, while gaming, was 80 C, but seems to stay around mid 70's or so (while gaming), and the CPU, while gaming, mid 60's to mid 70's. The Dell is connected via the Display Port at 2560 x 1440 144Hz with G-Sync off. I don't remember the resolution of the Samsung, but it was connected to the 1070 via DVI and it's max resolution was 1920 x 1080 (I'm guessing) 60Hz. But, the temps are definitely, and without question, higher with the Dell. I never tracked (kept track of) the temps with the Samsung, nor am I closely following the temps with the Dell at least not as closely as I did last week lol.
I use the “widgets” as a quick way to see what's going on as well as CPUID HWMonitor. I'm not sure what to call them, but there are “widgets” in Alienware Command Center for temperatures and fan speeds that can be placed on the desktop. (The latest drivers were also released in 2010.) Last Thursday I bought a 27” Dell gaming monitor ( Dell 27' S2716DG).
Part of me feels silly for asking this, but.is it normal for a monitor to affect the temperature of the CPU and GPU? A new monitor has increased my CPU and GPU temps, and I'm wondering if it's normal and why, or is something wrong?īack in May I purchased my Aurora R6 (i7 7700, GTX 1070) and, until last Thursday, was using a 23” Samsung monitor ( 23' Samsung SyncMaster) purchased in 2010.
