VSYNC on increases gpu heat?

[nickwolf]

Hello guys.So i have a gtx 1060 and when i play overwatch with V-sync on the tmp is around 57-63 but when i turn it off it goes up to 70-72 sometimes 74.Shoulh i be worried?
Do you think that i'd better change the thermal paste and the thermal pads of my gpu?

Thank you

V sync doesn't put as much work on the GPU, that's why it's at a lower tempature. So your fine.

Wait, which is it?

Vsync on and temps going up is odd. Vsync off and temps go up is normal. With Vsync on you are telling your card to only make 60FPS, so it won't work as hard. It could make 90, but you only want 60. In either case your temps are fine. GPUs tend to be able to handle 80C+, many can hit close to 100C. 75C is nothing.

That is normal going by what you wrote in your post, your title and post contradict each other.

Turning VSYNC on will cap the FPS to the refresh rate of your monitor. So if you have a 60hz monitor fps will be capped to 60. So vsync on will cause gpu usage to be lower and temps to go down, assuming the GPU is capable of more than 60fps without vsync.
