So I recently hooked up a second monitor for further desktop space and multitasking purposes. After a couple hours of BF3, I realized my GPU was at 88 degrees Celsius. My cpu temp was fine, it was only at 45. Dual-monitor idle temperature is 49 degrees Celsius.
My first question is at what temperature should I stop running high-resource programs, such as BF3, for both my gpu and cpu?
Second question: Can I run my secondary monitor with my integrated gpu, while using my GeForce GTX 560 ti for my primary monitor? How do I do this? What are the pro's and con's of this?
Equipment:
Dual-Monitor Software: http://www.murgee.com/
CPU: Intel i5 2500k sandybridge with a cooler master hyper 212+ heatsink.
GPU: GeForce GTX 560 ti
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3
Primary monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...&SID=u00000687
