- MSI Afterburner is not prioritizing GPU temp limit over power when selected in app [3858911]
=== what is that mean ??In this case, that is saying that in MSI after burner it is not enforcing the temp limit before the power, which means that even if the card is past the thermal limit it will ignore it and keep going until the power limit is reached. If thats true then that is bad.
The temp limiter should be absolute at all times always (imo)
i am using MSI AB OSD, everytime playing all pc games.... for monitoring real temp gpu and cpu only, also for auto speedfan with personal custom setting....
