how to raise temps HELP

[Charlifr]

Hey, so when i play overwatch sometimes i hit 69 degrees, which gives me more frames and some times when i boot it up is is 49 degrees and has very bad frames. How do i sustain this high temp as obviously i need the higher frames for my 144hz monitor

That's really not how it works. I'd suspect that for whatever reason sometimes your CPU isn't at full usage, hence the lower framerates and temps. I'd check that.

The higher temps are not causing your higher FPS. If anything, the higher FPS will cause higher temps as the CPU is being utilised more.

It might help if you provide us with information about your system, which CPU, GPU, etc. Also please provide details of what settings you are using in Overwatch.

Higher temps is worse, the lower the better.

all low settings in overwatch and 75% render scale, check bio for pc

The specs on your profile are correct then?

Because the monitor you list is not a 144hz monitor.

Hello OP, it seems you're mistaken on some fundamental aspects on how PC's work. Which is absolutely fine that's why you ask questions and get the opportunity to gain insight

Let's start with your temperature. As your components (CPU, GPU, etc) use energy some of that energy is inevitably lost as heat that's why you see higher temperatures after running your computer for a while. Similarly, if your components work harder more energy is consumed and more heat is generated. That's why you have higher temperatures when doing something like playing Overwatch as opposed to first booting the PC and sitting at the desktop.

Alright, now I'm sure you're wondering why some posters are saying lower temperatures are better if more heat means your computer is working harder.... Well the answer is fairly straightforward. As your chip produces heat it will continuously get hotter so unless the heat is dissipated in some way it can quickly reach dangerous temperatures which will do permanent damage. To combat this we put coolers on CPU's and have fans running in the case to move the heat away. However, even with cooling eventually it reaches a point where the CPU cannot work any harder and we hit thermal throttling to reduce the heat output. So the lower the temperature of your chip the harder we can work it before the temps get too high for the it handle. What this all means is that higher temperatures are not connected to your computer running better but in fact cause the opposite.

Now as to why your computer is running slow and stuttering at first boot. It's probably to do with your startup programs and or your hard drive speed. When your computer first boots it has to take a minute to load every program set to startup automatically and if there are too many or you have a slower hard drive this can cause significant performance issues until everything gets loaded in properly. Since you are in Windows 10 to check this all you need to do is open task manager and go to your "startup" tab and see what's running Windows even gives an impact rating so you can see how much it is affecting your performance at startup. From there you can simply disable anything that you don't want automatically starting by clicking the program and selecting "Disable"

Thanks for this, i understand the cooler the better, hwoever when my pc is running at higher temps in outputs better performance for some reason, frames wise atleast. When at the higher temp i hit 144hz more consistently, wheras when its cooler, i doesnt reach those frames. So im wondering why sometimes it is at lower temps as i want it higher for the extra frames. BTW when i say higher, 69 degrees which is the highest i get is not rlly detrimental to the PCs health long term. Any help is appreciated thanks.
