Hello My question is that my gpu 1060 6G If I stream on My pc on Streamlabs obs is it dangrous for my Gpu What Can happen is it Going to slow my GPU for ever ect


Specs:
i5-6600k
1060 6G
16GB ram
PSU 650M
Asrock H170 performance
 
Solution
Assuming the temps are okay you can run the GPU at 100% load at all times and it will be fine. Same goes for the CPU. Streaming is mainly CPU intensive, you will likely see more load on the CPU than the GPU when streaming a game, depending on the game and the settings for your stream.

Your GPU has nothing to do with streaming. That's also not how PC components work. The only real way a electronic component degrades is through heat. If your components stay within their specified temp ranges then they'll last a reasonably long time. Streaming is tied to your CPU and given that you're running a 4 core 4 thread CPU you're going to struggle to stream at decent quality.
 


Okay and what is the normal temps in CPU and GPU BTW I have a hyper 212 EVO
 
Max temp for intel is around 95C which you should really never come close to short of a CPU cooler failure or a massive overclock. For Nvidia GPU's the max temp before throttling is 85C. In the CPU's case if you hit the max temp your PC will throttle to lower the temp if the temps keep climbing it'll shut down to save itself. For GPU's they'll throttle at 85C. Throttle simply means it'll lower it's core clock "speed" so it generates lower temps.
 


Soo I Dont need to worry too much
