Mouse polling rate/ DPI

[bigdaddy64]

So im using a mouse with 125 Mhz polling rate and will switch to Logitech g402 which i will use at 1000 Mhz. I have a 1050 Ti, 8 gb RAM and an i5 6600 3.3 Ghz cpu, i mostly play CSGO but sometimes Battlefield 1. So the question is will 1000 Mhz effect my cpu in any way? And also, for competitive gaming is there any diffirence if you lower your sensitivity on hardware and increase it in the game or reverse?

yes..., high polling rate needs more CPU power. but no one needs 1000HZ.

500Hz is enough for any compititive shooter.

My sensitivity is very low (win. 6/11, 600 dpi in with game sensitivity on 2

1000 Mhz will send 8 times more information vs 125 Mhz polling rate so yes it will use more CPU but it really won't notice a decrease in performance as it really isn't an intensive process.

I'm not going to comment on the lower DPI/higher sens vs higher DPI/low Sens. Sure others will explain pros and cons of each along with their personal preference shortly.

FYI my DPI is 1200 with a sens of 0.85 in CSGO but I have mouse setup so I can easily adjust it to 600 DPI while holding a button on a Logitech G502

What is your polling rate when playing csgo? And would 1000 mhz even be noticable on an i5 6600 3.3 ghz with stock cooler or would i need an aftermarket cpu cooler?

My polling rate 1000 at all times and I never noticed a performance hit when i changed it after getting the mouse. I doubt you'd notice a difference even on a weaker cpu. Only way to know is to change it and try.

If temps are fine with a Stock cooler there is no need to buy an aftermarket cooler. Only buy an after market cooler if temps are hotter than you like, you intend on overclocking or your stock fan is noisy and you'd like a quieter fan.

Ok thanks ill change it because its noisy and what program do you recommend to measure cpu temps without risk of viruses and what cpu temp is normal for a game like csgo if you would know

speccy is good, they also make CCleaner, you can just donwload the free version

Cpuid Hwmonitor
Realtemp
CPUID CPU-Z
MSI Afterburner

I use HWmonitor see both CPU and GPU temps as I can leave it up on second display. I believe you can have temps and things overlayed while your ingame using Afterburner.

Even when you download from an official site it's always wise to scan the file with a virus checker to be safe.

Normal cpu/gpu temp for csgo or any other game will depend on your cpu/gpu, your cooler, case, airflow, ambeint temp capped/uncapped fps. So 'normal' is had to say lol. Your CPU will start throttling down at 95 Degrees Celsuis but you shouldn't really be exceeding mid to high 70s. If it hits 80 you should improve your cooling.

Edit: this part is kind of irrelevant as this is where this thread is so you know it already haha The hardware discussion area will be good to discuss temps and cooling along with monitoring software too.

Msi afterburner sounds fine, does it show average temps?

I know HWmontir shows your current, min and max. I've used others but can't remember which does what for sure. have to test it or wait for someone else to confirm that
