144hz GPU Temps

[TheLegend]

Hi community! This may be a dumb question but does running games at 144hz make graphics cards run a bit warmer? I recently upgraded to an 1080p 144hz monitors and have a GTX 1080 that I put an EVGA hybrid cooler on. Before I was sitting at around the upper 40C range but now I see my max temps touching the lower 50C range. I know it’s not a big deal in regard to thermal throttling or what the card can handle, I just want to make sure that my cooling is still holding up. Thanks in advance!

This is an anomoly. Your graphics card is working the same as before and after you upgraded your monitor.

It's getting close to summer.  Is your ambient temp higher than it was before?

Depends on what the card was doing compared to what it is now. 

 

I use my 1080 on 1080p now. Thus the load jumps around a lot more. The frequency doesn’t change but that isn’t what matters. 

 

If I put my 1440 on it, the load will always be a bit higher but I have a custom loop so I don’t see a large change though it is there.
