Finally got an adapter to use my third screen, but then... https://imgur.com/a/ke9w1

 

Can someone explain why everything goes up so much when using a third screen? And is there a fix for it? I don't want my graphics card to idle at 60C. 

:(

seems fine...

your GPU is powering 3 times the resolution compared to a single monitor

 

you could try powering your second two monitors off the motherboard isntead 

Okay, but having 2 monitors doesn't affect my GPU at all. And i don't want my GPU to idle at 60C.

have you tried different drivers?

 

I run 3 x 1080p @ 144hz and 2x 1080p @ 60hz, I have ran into high idles many times with just installing new drivers I usually revert back until another comes out to try, also run 3 cards too all idle at 30-40 now
