Changing your fan speeds can lower noise or cool better. You can do whatever you'd like as long as your temps are fine.

Yes, that is true, just wasnt sure if the cooler would adjust automatically at certain times, my gpu is an asus gtx 970 and the fans only turn on at 60 degrees, will i ever need to adjust those fans?

The fan is pwm and follows the fan curve from your motherboard settings. 

You can adjust your graphics card fans with software like Msi Afterburner if you'd like. You can do whatever you want as long as your temps are fine.

I prefer Msi Afterburner--most people do. The application brand doesn't really matter.
