GPU Fan Curve for MSI Afterburner

Slushie

Hello everyone,

 

Currently having some issues with setting a fan curve for my Gigabyte GTX 1660Ti 8GB OC. I'm using MSI Afterburner for the fan curve. Basically, just wondering what everyone would recommend as a good fan curve, feel free to send screenshots. 

 

Thankyou!

There is no "best fan curve" other than what you are personally comfortable with.

 

General rule of thumb, cooler GPU = longer life span.

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz)
WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~800Mbit down, 115Mbit up)
Upgrading Laptop/Desktop CNVIo WiFi 5 cards to PCIe WiFi6e/7

I don’t have that card.
 

 All I can offer is A general opinion not specific to afterburner or even the 1660ti.

 

I personally like to have a quiet machine but I also do not want to toast my card.  I consider max throttle temps to be a bit too high in general, but anything under 60c is ignorable, so I set my curves to zero until about 50c for quiet idle,  then ramp them fairly steeply to max at around 75c. If I hear the fan at max it tells me the GPU is working harder than I would like.

 

thats me though.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
