60 fps requires higher performance (and more work from your PC) than 30 fps.
It won't make it overheat less, but it might make it overheat more.
And no, games usually don't have setting to change the framerate, they run as fast they can, up to the limit of what your monitor can support (usually 60Hz or 60 frames.)

RE5,Ghost busters,DMC4 have the choice to switch FPS. When I use unlock FPS on RE5, the FPS goes as high as 120FPS, I'm just afraid it might blow up (IF over FPS could cause over heating, cause I dont know, that was my question.). My other question was would it ruin the playability if I put it on a lower FPS? Thanx for all the replies.Umm. So, basically, you want your framerate high. If it's dropping, that's because your computer is struggling, and not able to push out the graphics at a fast pace. I think most people here thought you were referring to some kind of in-game option where you could actually set an exact level for your framerate, which is not something I've heard of, as your framerate depends on how well your system handles the current graphics options setup. Some games may have an option to turn off a limiter, which is what I think you're talking about with RE5, and in that case, I don't think it would do damage, but it wouldn't really do anything, either. If your system is running a game well enough to get framerates that seem smooth, then don't worry about it. If your system is running a game well enough that it CAN get to really high framerates, then you might actually want to leave the limiter on, because it's probably just keeping the framerate in time with your monitor's refresh rate, which is probably 60hz (60fps). If your framerate goes over what your monitor is supposed to display, I don't think it can damage anything, but it won't look any better, and may even create visual glitches.
The point is, a change from 30fps to 60fps is a result of your pc performance, not the other way around.
Oh, ok. Re5 has 3 choices 30, 60, & unlockable, I tested RE5's benchmark when I placed the setting on 60, it was still going as high as 80, so basically this setting means nothing. For Ghostbusters my PC is 60ON while the 30 is OFF a noticed it was a little glitch, so will putting it on 30 ON and 60 OFF make it perform better. I'll try it out anyways but Thanx for the replies guys.
