I just bought a 1920x1080 144 hz montior for my new PC, which has a 1080Ti, i7 5850k, 32G RAM. My ultimate goal is to play graphic intensive games at 144 hz, and so far that hasn't been a problem, except how much heat is generated from it. I noticed when I tested Resident Evil 7 with max graphics and 144 hz, my GPU temp got to 76c and sounded like a leaf blower. This is the first time I've ever heard my graphics card like this, and the first time it's gotten this hot, and it's when I tried 144 hz. I have a very spacious case and great air flow too, which is confusing. My temps normally stay around 60c under high graphic loads with 60 hz, so this was kind of a shock. I'm guessing this is normal, and my graphics card is just getting pushed to the max. It's frustrating though if that's true, since I held back on 1440p to avoid stuff like this. So I guess my question is.. is this a normal situation?
