Wallpaper Engine and GPU Clock

[HungryHamster]

Hello,

 

I have been running a 4k Wallpaper in Wallpaper Engine and I just noticed that the GPU clock speed on my GTX 1080 is between 1200-1800MHz. My GPU even goes up to 50-60C which triggers the auto fan. Is this safe to be running in the background all the time or would you advise against it? Any input would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Those temperatures are perfectly fine, so it's safe in that regard. Maybe lower the resolution from 4k to 3440x1440 (assuming the link in your sig is your current PC), if that is possible?

Does it trigger fan w/o WE running?

Yes.

So it's not the WE that causes problem right?

Sorry, thought you were referring to that temperature triggering the auto fan which it does even without WE running. Only 3440x1440 wallpapers in WE make my idle GPU clock this high. Obviously it's this high or higher when I'm gaming, but I just didn't know how safe it would be to run all the time. I'm thinking it's probably not worth it.

this is the biggest overreaction thread i've seen in a while.

 

Running a light directX program on your desktop is not going to break your graphics card.
