FPS double screen refresh rate

[jamesdourish]

Hi all, recently moved from console to PC gaming and getting used to manually adjusting settings, spent most of yesterday playing with different resolutions and FPS.

Using Afterburner OSD, I found my temps were lowest when i set all FPS options to 120 FPS which is double my TV`s refresh rate of 60hz, when set to 60hz to match the screen the temps were higher

Are there any drawbacks to this 120FPS setting

Normally lowering the FPS would lower the temps as its having to do less.

What temp was higher when using the 60 FPS?

If your screen has a max refresh rate of 60 anything higher is normally a waste.
