Does Resolution Affect Processor Temps?

[Taintedmind]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but do higher resolutions affect CPU/processor temps?  I'm looking to upgrade my 1440p/165Hz to a 1440p/270Hz monitor, but the processor already gets to 91c while gaming - I don't think it'll be able to keep up w/105FPS more than what it's already rendering.  Any useful info is appreciated; thanks!

Yes and no.

Changing monitors wont change the temps much i think.

But if you have a 165Hz monitor, and you dont even get to 165fps.

Changing monitors is completely useless.

Unless the new one looks better, but you WILL NOT see/feel any difference.

ps both monitors have the EXACT same resolution.

You're looking at different frame-rates Hz or fps.

(Thats how many pictures it projects on the monitor per second)

The top end is the same, but I'm able to go to 1080p for any games, like eSports.  It's why I'm wondering if upping the Hz and downgrading the resolution would help w/the difference.  I already have a Noctua NH-D15, so there isn't really much more I can do w/cooling.  I also throttled it to 5.1GHz, since 5.2GHz+ immediately goes to 100c.  Many other people have the same issues w/some research.

I already know changing the Hz will greatly change temperatures, which's why I've had to change coolers on more than one older computer when we got 144Hz monitors at the time.  They would overheat to the point the game would just crash immediately upon entering a lobby in any online multiplayer w/stock Intel coolers.

I would HIGLY suggest looking into the full cases cooling then.

 

But if you get that much with a NH-D15, i would immediately replace the cooling paste.
Since that cooler should easily handle 200 Watts of thermal power.

 

 

Oh and ps yes increasing the frame-rate (fps Hz) it will increase CPU usage, as the CPU needs to send data to the GPU to render.

I set mine to Sync All Cores, so it's at 5.1GHz at all times to keep steady frame rates.

 

It's all w/in spec from my research and well-known tech enthusiasts.

You'd think with higher res, less fps than 1080p, CPU usage requirements go down at 1440p vs 1080p.

 

You would also assume higher Hz doesn't matter here as you can just unlock fps all the same on any monitor setup while testing stability of all overclocking you do.

 

Whether you are 99% stable or 100% stable, run the problematic scenarios at stock settings as well to troubleshoot this weirdness. Rule out your OC anyway just so your sure.

Switched from 1080p to 4K a few months ago and my CPU temps didn't get higher if anything they went down a bit.

 

If you are getting 91C on the CPU just gaming it is probably a good idea to check if your cooler is seated correctly and if you have used enough thermal paste.

Also what case do you have and how is the overall airflow of that?

Depend, if you're CPU bound at lower resolution, going up the resolution might shift the bottleneck to GPU thus making the CPU do less work so less heat.

I tested my i9 10900k with a DH-D15 and it was a fail.

The reason is the i9 can't use TVB(thermal velocity boost) since the CPU needs to stay below 70c while gaming. 

In most games TVB beats an all core 5.1ghz overclock. It does not beat it on all apps like Cinebench.

An EK 360mm AIO can keep the i9 10900k below 70c while gaming. 

 

Not all 360mm AIO are cooler than the Noctua. My EVGA and Silverstone 360mm are about the same as DH-D15. 

 

Also the FTW3 Ultra3080 it heats up a case a lot. 

I had one with the i9 9900k for a while(now with the 5900x). It uses a DH-D15 and the 3080 ti heat soaked the case. That is why a XC3 Ultra 3080 ti is paired with the i9 9900k. At 350 watts VS 400 watts for the FTW3 the heat is manageable.

The higher your resolution (in games) the lower the CPU load will be, resulting in lower CPU temps.

The heat wasn't nearly as bad durin the winter when I was in my apartment, since my g/f at the time and I liked it cold.  We would just open the door and cool the entire apartment, since I made her an i9-9900k w/EVGA RTX 3080ti FTW3; but my new place isn't as cool, so it's a little more of a struggle even moreso as summer sets in.

I have my A/C on year round keeping the temperature a 21c. 

There is so much humidity were I live that things get ruined without it.
