Heating Question

[NightFeather]

Hey, I just have a quick question about the cooling. Right when I minimize a game, the temperature goes from 60 to 40 in like 30 seconds. This is normal, right?

Yes, as soon as you minimize any game your graphics card no longer has to render all of the pixels. No workload = very little heat.

it happens with some thermal software and the way windows works. when you alt-tab to the desktop the desktop becomes the active window...not the game in the background so the cpu slows down..
