Hello guys as some of you guys know, i bought a computer, this one to be exact:
HP Compaq Elite 8200 SFF
- CPU: Intel Core i5 2400 3,1 Ghz
- Ram: 4GB 1x4GB
- HDD: 1TB
- PSU :240W
After some changes i bought a new graphic card, this one:
MSI GT 730
And i also added new RAM to make it 6GB instead of 4GB
Yes i'm fully aware that this is not a gaming computer and it's not meant to be a gaming computer.
However i just tried to play BioShock Infinite and the gameplay is very smooth with normal setting with 1280 x 960.
I just have one small question..
I've been using MSI Afterburner to check my GPU and CPU temp.
And i have been reading that it's normal that the GPU loads 99% when you play a game, But after i have been playing like 30 minutes with the current settings (normal)i get these temps:

Are they good?

I searched around this forum and found out that if i turn on "V-Sync" it doesn't "try" to produce its maximum frames per second, so it works less and generates less heat (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/395035-33-usage-normal#10372930)
So i thought i may give it a try and i got these temps instead:

Now my question is, should i turn on "V-Sync" with all games i play (those who have V-Sync), due it lowers the GPU temp and goes down from 99% to ~60%??
