Setting "Power Plan" to "High Performance" SAFE or NOT ....?
Something very basic that i overlooked.Which is Setting "Power Plan" to "High Performance".Currently,it is switched to "Balanced" & i am getting great FPS in majority of the games.I am getting like 60 FPS in "Metal Gear Solid : Ground Zeros".Around 40 in "Assassin's Creed : Unity" with MSAA on TXAA.
However,i am not getting very good FPS in some games like , "Call of Duty : Advanced Warfare" (34 & sometimes 38 perhaps) , "Hitman Absolution" (around 40 if EVERYTHING IS SET TO MAX,If i keep MSAA to 2x , i get good FPS , like 45 perhaps)
So,as you can see.I am eager to set the "Power Plan" to "High Performance".But i am concerned as if it will cause any OVERHEATING ISSUES in my Graphics card or cause my fans to work harder.Since everything will be running on max by setting "Power Plan" to "High Performance".
I am using a Desktop.It is an assembled PC , which i have bought for gaming.You can view the specifications under "My System Specs" (In case you are interested)
Also,i have installed a Corsair FAN by replacing the Stock Intel fan in my rig.So i do not have any overheating issues , as if yet.I have placed my RIG in a very spacious position for good ventilation.
Just to give you a rough idea of my System's Core Temp's WITH & WITHOUT GAMING.I have attached 2 pictures with this post.
I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to monitoring Temperatures & everything though.
I just want to know , if i can get more FPS / Performance Gains by setting "Power Plan" to "High Performance" & won't have to worry about issues such as : OVERHEATING / SYSTEM CRASHING / GETTING BSOD's / Similar .....
